"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andrew Dang, 22, of Sacramento, California on August 6th, 2024.
Andrew was born on February 6th, 2002 to Hai Dang and Kim Tran in Stockton, California. Shortly after the family relocated to Sacramento in 2006, Andrew attended elementary school at Anna Kirchgater, joined the South Sacramento Vikings youth football organization as a player, and began his career as a star athlete. He played club football while he attended James Rutter Middle School, and became the varsity quarterback partway through his freshman season at Florin High School. In addition to football, he played basketball, ran track, and played baseball.
Outside of his athletic pursuits, Andrew had a creative soul. He joined his high school’s premier choir, Vocal Ensemble, as a baritone and was a gifted vocalist and artist. When he wasn’t sketching or singing, he was writing songs and making music. In 2020, shortly after enlisting in the US Army, Andrew turned his passion for drawing into an emerging career as a tattoo artist. His artwork lives on, adorning the bodies of his loved ones.
Andrew was, at his core, a goofy big kid. He loved his family and friends with a fierce loyalty, and his sense of humor is just one of the many things we will miss.
He is survived by his wife Lapang, his puppies Luna and Zuko, his parents Hai and Kim, and his siblings Dang, Nisa, and Nelane. He is also survived by his niece Mailayah and nephew Miloh, as well as his cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Candlelight vigil will take place at 4401 Mack Rd, Sacramento, CA on August 17th at 7:30pm. Memorial service will take place at East Lawn Memorial Park at 4300 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, CA from 9AM-12PM,
