Sangha “Sean” Daravikchay Passes at 49

With sadness, love, and profound gratitude, the family of Sangha “Sean” Daravikchay announces his passing on August 9, 2021, at the age of 49 after a valiant battle with lung cancer. His battle showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile and Sean came out a hero and stayed strong until the end. 

Born in Bukorborey Battambang, Cambodia, he resettled in Providence in 1980 as a refugee at a young age.

He was the son of the late Chhay Daravikchay. He is survived by his loving father Theap Daravikchay, the youngest sibling to Viphar “Nom” Kong, Sanam Daravikchay, Sama Daravikchay, his devoted wife Mary Nhem, two sons, Sean Adrien, and Christian Romeo. He was a loving father, husband, uncle, nephew, and cousin. Sean was affectionately known for his immense love for his family, friends, and community.

He was proud of his Cambodian heritage, embodied the best of the Khmer culture, and was a compassionate Buddhist with his kindness, charisma, humor, and generous spirit. Sean had a big heart and a warm gentle smile to match. Growing up he was really into his hair and was nicknamed “Pretty Boy Sean.” His charming personality was contagious to everyone he met. A culinary enthusiast, his love and appreciation for food was known to all. He was a family man and truly lived courageously and wholeheartedly.

A Celebration of Sean’s Life will be held on Friday, August 13th, 2021 from 5 pm to 8  pm.
