On behalf of A New Life Sober Living and Ranch 41 In Loving Memory of Philip Cong Tran
October 4, 1989 – June 17th, 2026
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Philip Cong Tran, affectionately known as "Phil" and lovingly nicknamed "Philly Cheese Steak" by his family. Phil left this world far too soon, but the love, laughter, and memories he shared will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him.
To know Phil was to love him. He had a heart bigger than life itself and would gladly give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. His kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others defined who he was. Phil was a hard worker who took pride in everything he did and genuinely cared about the people around him.
Phil was remarkably intelligent, vibrant, and full of life. Growing up, he was known for his bright spirit, quick wit, and ability to make friends wherever he went. He brought energy and laughter into every room and was deeply loved by family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
While Phil faced a difficult battle with addiction, his family chooses to remember the man he truly was—a compassionate son, grandson, brother, and friend whose life was filled with love and purpose. Addiction was only one chapter of his story; it did not define him. His brilliant mind, caring nature, and generous soul are the legacy he leaves behind. Phil Tran gave with his whole heart to every person struggling.
Phil is survived by his loving mother, Dung Nguyen; his cherished grandmother, Kim; and his devoted sisters, Jennifer and Jacqueline. He was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Gigi, and we find comfort in knowing they are now reunited in peace.
Though our hearts ache with his absence, we will forever treasure the memories, laughter, and love Phil shared with us. His spirit will continue to live on through the countless lives he touched.
Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always.
We will miss you Philip with every passing day , rest in the lord we got this down here.
