Soktear Phuy

Soktear Phuy was a 33-year-old resident of Long Beach, California. Public records and local reporting identify him as a member of the Long Beach community whose life mattered to friends and family. While formal obituary notices matching his name and date of death were not found in funeral-home or newspaper obituary archives, contemporaneous local news reporting confirms he died on June 29, 2020.

Those who knew Soktear described a person who belonged to a family and neighborhood circle in Long Beach. A GoFundMe created shortly after his death refers to him by the family name and seeks support for funeral expenses, which suggests family and loved ones worked to honor him and care for one another during a sudden loss. Local news coverage from the time also notes his age (33) and residence in Long Beach, anchoring basic facts about his life for those wanting to remember him.

Because there is no published, family-authorized obituary located in the public obituary or funeral-home listings that matches both his full name and the exact date of death, many of the customary personal details—such as a full birth date, a detailed list of family survivors, employment history, hobbies, or formal tributes—are not available in reliable public sources. This limits the ability to present a richly detailed portrait without risking inaccuracy. What is clear from the record is that Soktear was a real person whose loss prompted immediate grief among people close to him and inspired others in the community to offer help.

In remembering Soktear, it is important to hold to the dignity of the facts we can verify while acknowledging what we do not know. He was a 33-year-old Long Beach resident whose life and relationships mattered to those around him. If family members or close friends wish to share memories, photos, or a family-prepared obituary, adding those would allow a fuller, more personal memorial that honors his life beyond the brief public records that remain.
