Kiet Lam, St. Petersburg, FL—The community is heartbroken as they mourn the passing of Kiet Lam, who tragically lost his life in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. Kiet was found on the streets following the storm and was rushed to the hospital after suffering a severe head injury that led to his brain being declared non-functional, though his heart continued to beat for a few more days. After three days on life support, Kiet passed away.
Described as a "gentle giant," Kiet was known for his generosity and unwavering love for his daughter, Linda Lam. He always made time to check on her, and his kindness extended to many around him, even offering help when he had little for himself. Despite his tough exterior, Kiet’s heart was warm, always showing up for those who needed him.
In a final act of giving, Kiet became an organ donor, a decision he had made when renewing his driver’s license. Through his selflessness, he was able to give the gift of life to others, donating both of his lungs, his liver, and his kidneys to those in need.
A fundraiser organized by Son Luong is currently underway to support Kiet’s family, particularly his daughter Linda Lam, who is the beneficiary of the donations. The goal is to raise $10,000 to cover funeral costs and support the family as they recover from the tragedy brought by Hurricane Milton. The outpouring of love and support from friends and community members has been evident, with donations already coming in from individuals such as Giang Nguyen, Hao Ton, Van Quach, Van Truong, and Son Luong.
We extend our deepest condolences to Linda Lam and the entire family. May Kiet’s memory be a blessing, and may his generous spirit live on through the lives he saved. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.
