Thien-An ‘Andy’ Vu Pham Obituary
Thien An Pham, better known as Andy, 40, of Denver, CO, passed away on August 13th, 2024. A graduate of VCU and masters candidate of Clemson University, Andy was a senior packaging designer. Outside of work Andy was an avid skier and adventurer, including backcountry skiing, pheasant hunting with his dog, and fly fishing. He was brilliant and curious, always picking up new hobbies like RC cars, cooking, artistic design, and playing any and all instruments. He was a gifted child pianist in VCU’s Suzuki piano program at just 4 years old and at 8 yr old he was a black belt in Tae kwon do. He was humorous and always knew how to make his friends laugh. But his most impressive skill was creating community and building relationships. He made many friends across the country from Richmond to Clemson, Connecticut to Colorado.
Andy is survived by his beloved German short haired pointer, Tippet; mother, Thaininh Pham; father, Xuan Pham; and sister, Claudia Tranchau Pham-Newton.
