Hoang Minh Dang, age 64, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away peacefully on January 5, 2026. To those who knew him, Hoang was a gentle soul whose quiet strength, deep faith, and steady kindness left a lasting imprint on every life he touched.
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Hoang carried with him a lifelong love of learning and a thoughtful, reflective spirit. He was an avid reader who found joy in exploring ideas, nurturing his faith, and seeking
wisdom in both the ordinary and the profound.
His humility, compassion, and grace were constants qualities that defined him far more than any accomplishment ever could.
Hoang graduated from Bethlehem-Center High School, Pennsylvania and later attended Walla Walla University in College Place, Washington, where he pursued his passion for spiritual knowledge and personal growth.
He is survived by his mother, Hu nh Th Ng c Suong (Linh F. Harshman); his sisters, Barbara Harshman (James) and Dolores Solana (Jose); his many close cousins and his longtime friend Lynn Supapodok, who will forever cherish his memory. He was preceded in death by his father, ng Trí Hoàn.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held on February 14 th at 2:00 p.m. at: Palmetto Seventh-day Adventist Church 3307 10th St W, Palmetto, FL 34221
Family and friends are invited to gather, remember, and honor a man whose presence brought warmth and peace to those around him. Refreshments will be provided at the church following the service.
Special Message:
"His faith and kindness touched every life he encountered. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered."
1 Corinthians 13:13
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"
While spiritual gifts like prophecy and knowledge will end, faith, hope, and love are enduring Christian virtues, with love being the greatest because it is eternal and reflects God's own nature, remaining even when faith becomes sight and hope is fulfilled in eternity.
