Minh is of Chinese Ethnicity, born in Sway Rieng, Cambodia and the 3 ^rd oldest of 5 boys. Minh is a self-taught auto mechanic and was good at what he does. He left his birth country in 1975 to escape the Khmer Rouge, the communist guerilla when they evaded Cambodia and forced all city residents into the countryside and to labor camps to work.

Minh was able to escape with his daughter but was separated from his wife. His wife was declared missing and possibly killed by the guerillas after many years of searching but no sign of her. He never remarried in hope of uniting with his wife one day.

In 1980, Minh migrated to the United States in search of a better life for him & his daughter. He lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma from 1980-2013. In 2013 he became ill and was forced to move to Houston so his daughter and son-in-law can take care of him.

In 2014 at the age of 71 Minh accepted Christ as his Lord Savior and was baptized in Jesus name.

Minh is blessed to have friends, families and caretakers and nurses that took good care of him while he was in the nursing home.
