Obituary: Syla Sophanavong, 75, of Peoria passed away at OSF St. Francis Hospital at 8:14 PM on 13, 2013. Syla was born on 14, 1938, in Pathoung, Laos, one of 8 children, to Siengon (father) and Xay (mother) Sophanavong. It was in Laos that Syla met a beautiful young woman that would be his wife. Syla married the love of his life, Nang, on 31, 1958, in Laos, and began a union that would last over 50 years, until she passed away in 2009. Syla first came to the United States in 1967 as a Lieutenant in the Laotian Army to study in a knowledge transfer program with the U.S. Army at various locations including San Antonio, TX in 1967 and Fort Knox, KY in 1967. Upon completion of his studies in the U.S., Syla returned to Laos and bravely served his country during the Vietnam War, ultimately attaining the rank of Major General in the Laotian Army. Laos was severely impacted by the war in Vietnam, and after the U.S.’s involvement in the war ended, Syla gathered his young family and escaped his war-torn home to seek a new life in the U.S., eventually settling in Peoria, IL in 1978. The family’s new beginning in America brought with it both incredible opportunity and real challenges and hardships— imagine moving your entire family halfway across the world to a new country with new traditions, language and culture with just the clothes on your back, very little money and limited prospects for employment. As the family patriarch, Syla embraced both the challenges and opportunities in a singular, determined effort to provide for his family in their new home. As a result of hard work and incredible perseverance, Syla and his wife both found work, literally starting from the bottom and eventually saved enough money to buy a modest home for their family. Syla obtained a job at Rohn where he worked for over 20 years, retiring in 2000. Along the way, in the most simple, straightforward fashion, he and his wife realized and lived the American Dream. Syla loved life and his family and friends. Always quick with a smile, he was everything a father should be: decisive, strong and firm when he needed to be, yet always kind, compassionate and supportive. Syla and Nang did the best that they could do to provide their children with the tools for true happiness: faith, family, friends and a belief in self-determination and personal responsibility. Syla and Nang both loved to travel and took many hard-earned and well-deserved trips together after raising their family. Syla and Nang spent those later years together, rediscovering their love for each other until Nang passed away in 2009. Syla’s life was guided by his faith; he was raised in the tradition of Buddhism, which played a very important role in his life and which he continued here in the United States through his extensive support of, and involvement with, the Rockford, IL temple. It was through his involvement with the temple that Syla met another woman, Pancha Thiptavong, while attending a Buddhist convention in Boston in late 2010. Syla and Pancha have been together since 2011. Syla is survived by his companion of 2 years, Pancha Thiptavong, his sister, Buapha in Laos, and his 8 children: 6 sons Sengstar; Manison (Sonja); Pete; Odi (Khanthaly); Phouvone; Seng (Denise) and 2 daughters Phetsakhone and Phouvieng. Syla is also survived by 16 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Nang, of over 50 years, his brothers, sisters and other family members in Laos, and one daughter-in-law, Dao Phangthong. A traditional Laos funeral ceremony in the Buddhist Tradition will be held on , 21, 2013, at 1:00 PM at Davison-Fulton Woodland Chapel, 2021 N. University St. in Peoria. Monks from the Rockford Temple will officiate. All faiths are welcome. the traditional Buddhist Service, members of the Royal Laos Government in Exile (RLGE) will honor Syla’s service to his country. Visitation will be on , 20, 2013, from 5 to 7 PM at the funeral home. Cremation rites will be accorded following the service. Immediately following funeral services everyone is invited to join with family and friends for food and fellowship at Childers Banquette and Catering , 3113 Dries Lane, in Peoria. Memorial donations may be made to the family in care Odi Sophanavong or to an account at CEFCU in Syla’s name. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.Davison-Fulton.com. |
