Say Mar, age 80, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. He was born on April 1, 1944 in Cambodia. At the young age of 13, after losing his mother, Say Mar took on the responsibility of helping his sister with their garden, selling produce to make ends meet. When he turned 20, he married his wife, Boeun Young, and together they had three children. In 1980, Say moved with his family from Cambodia to the United States, where they welcomed six more wonderful children.
Say's legacy is one of generosity and simplicity. He was the cornerstone of his family, always ensuring that they shared meals together. He created cherishing memories by bringing his children to parks for picnics, swimming, and biking. He was committed to all of his children, where he had provided the necessary tools to become independent and successful as they embarked on their journey into adulthood.
He is survived by his loving sons, Sing Mar and Kimsou Mar; his loving daughters, Lengheik Mar, Lenghow Mar, Lengkear Mar, Lengkun Mar, Trea Chann, and Sokkunpea Chann; and many other loving relatives from across the states and countries.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Boeun Young and by his son, Kimhang Mar.
