“Su Thien Thoi of Mankato, MN passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at the age of 100. Visitation will be on Monday, September 1, 2025 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at Northview-North Mankato Mortuary with burial to follow at Glenwood Cemetery.

Thoi was born on April 18, 1925, in Xiamen Fukien, China, to Dao Khac Minh and Ha Thi Tu. He was married to his loving wife, Huynh Mau Don, and they shared 45 years together until her passing in 1996. Together, they had eight children and made their home in Cho Moi An Giang, Vietnam before immigrating to the United States. Thoi had a strong work ethic and provided for his family, relatives, and friends in Vietnam by owning and running a very successful business.

In 1985, Thoi and Don made the significant sacrifice of leaving their homeland and settled in North Mankato, MN, with their children and grandchildren. Thoi will be remembered for his generosity, kindness, and willingness to help all in need. He loved his family above all else and instilled the importance of family values in his children and grandchildren.

In his later years, Thoi found joy in reading about the news, watching his favorite game shows The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune, taking an interest in the weather, and especially spending time with family.

He is survived by his seven children: son Nguyen Su and daughter-in-law Trung Tran; son Thanh Su and daughter-in-law Hiep Su; daughter Phuong Su; son Thuong Su and daughter-in-law Nga Phan; daughter Dung Su and son-in-law Sinh Chang; Xuong Su and daughter-in-law Nga Pho; and son Ba Su and daughter-in-law Thieu Mai Nguyen. He also leaves behind 16 grandchildren: granddaughter Ha Su; granddaughter Suong Su; grandson Hung Su and wife Jenny Su; grandson David Su and partner; granddaughter Diana and husband; grandson Cuong Su and wife Jenny To; grandson Dan Su; grandson Kevin Su; grandson Andrew Su; grandson Randy Chang and wife Cindy Vuong; granddaughter Emily Chang; granddaughter Desiree Su; grandson Christopher Su; granddaughter Tiffany Su; grandson Matthew Su; and granddaughter Melissa Su. Additionally, he is survived by five great-grandchildren: Quinn Su, Nora Su, Emmett Su, Ian Su and Ellie Chang.

He is reunited in death with his beloved wife and daughter Phan Su, parents, and siblings.

The family sincerely appreciates all the heartfelt messages and expressions of sympathy you have shared with the passing of our father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Your kindness and support truly uplift our spirits and mean the world to our family.”
