Chhorn Pan, Lowell, MA— Chhorn Pan passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at Lowell General Hospital at the age of 92. He was surrounded by his loving family in his final moments. Known for his kindness, generosity, and resilience, Chhorn touched the hearts of many throughout his life, particularly as a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime. His passing has left a profound void in the lives of his family and friends.
Chhorn was a cherished father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Born in Krong Kampong Cham, Cambodia, Chhorn moved to the United States in 1985, initially settling in Texas and later relocating to California and then Lowell, MA.

He was known for his love of cooking, fishing, and spending time outdoors.
His family remembers him as a figure of unwavering support, always putting others before himself. Many people considered him a father figure, and he was a father to many who did not have one of their own. Chhorn’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and selflessness.
In the wake of his passing, his family has created a fundraiser to help cover funeral expenses. The fundraiser, organized by his son Chay Pan, has raised $1,200 as of today, with support coming from family, friends, and the community.
