Beng was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His family was his greatest blessing. He was kind, thoughtful, and generous above all. The legacy he leaves behind will be felt through many generations. He was the kind of man that put everyone above himself and his needs. His generosity was unmatched. He always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed by his family and those who were fortunate enough to know him. He is survived by his wife, Leua Phathong; sons, Boone Phathong, Buddy Phathong and Ginger Martinez, and Von Phathong and wife Jennifer; daughter, Bangone Snead and Doyle Sanders; along with 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Honoring him as pallbearers will be Eric Snead, Zachary Phathong, Bailey Phathong, Steven Phathong, Billy Bussey, Javon Phathong, Keion Calhoun, and Colin Perkins.
