August 25, 1949 - August 20, 2021
Ninh Truong Ly, a Stockton resident for 39 years, passed away at 7:03pm on August 20, 2021, just five days shy of his 72nd birthday. He had some underlying health issues and had been fighting a breakthrough COVID infection.
Ninh and his family came to the US in the early 1980s as part of the waves of “boat people” immigrants escaping Vietnam.
A beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend to many, he was known to give you advice whether you needed it or not (and most of the time he was right). Ninh treasured and adored his family and was extremely proud of all they had achieved in spite of humble beginnings. He loved photographing family and singing karaoke. He could often be found dominating the microphone on any stage, and was probably a rock star in a previous life.
There are a lifetime of memories that cannot be summarized in short. The family and all who were lucky enough to have been a part of his life will forever miss his illuminating smile and have those memories deeply rooted in their hearts forever.
Ninh is survived by his wife of 48 years, Bao Huynh and their children: Tu Ly (daughter) and her husband Chuong Ma; Thanh Ly (daughter) and her husband, Chris Depner; Nhut Ly (son) and his wife, Ly Phan; Duc Ly (son); and Tony Ly (son). He also has six grandchildren: Katelynn Ma, Karlena Ma, Kaleb Ma, Landen Ly, Lincoln Ly, and Kylara Depner.
He was preceded in death by his parents, May Van Ly (father) and Sau Thi Tran (mother), and his siblings: Tho Ly (brother), Ba Thi Ly (sister), Dai Ly (brother), Son Ly (brother).
Surviving siblings: Khuong Ly (Bakersfield, CA), Vung Ly (Vietnam), Do Ly (Vietnam),Trinh Ly (Alhambra, CA), Nga Ly (Bacliff, Texas), and Loi Ly (Vietnam).
