With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Khamphuet Ditthavong, who passed away on July 29, 2026, at the age of 63. He was a beloved brother, cousin, uncle, papa, and friend.

He was born in Thakek, Laos and made his way to the United States in 1992. Through hard work and determination, he built a life centered around the simple joys of family, food and nature.

He loved cooking and sharing his creations with those he loved. He found peace in the outdoors and on his random adventures. He enjoyed all things fishing and hunting. His greatest joy was being a papa.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the countless memories he gave us and the lasting impact he made on those who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.

Family and friends are warmly invited to join us as we celebrate his life on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 11am, St. Mark’s Church 54 Kuhn Road, Rochester, NY 14612.

Following the service, all are welcome to gather for a luncheon and a time to share stories, memories, and honor his life together at Chen Residence, 5 Kerry Hill, Fairport, NY 14450.

Your presence and support during this time mean so much to our family as we remember and celebrate a life well lived.
