Frank Vue Lor (Txhiaj Vwj Lauj)

December 31, 1959 – September 7, 2026

Frank Txhia Vue Lor was born on December 31, 1959, in Phano, Laos. He passed away peacefully at home on September 7, 2026, surrounded by his family. He lived a remarkable life defined by courage, perseverance, hard work, and an unwavering devotion to his family.

As a young man, Frank lived through the turmoil of the Vietnam War and was part of the Secret War in Laos. In search of safety and a better future, he made the difficult journey from Laos to Thailand, where he lived in refugee camps before eventually receiving the opportunity to begin a new life in the United States.

In January 1987, during the heart of winter, Frank arrived in America. He came to a country where he did not know the language, the culture, or what the future would hold. With determination and resilience, he learned English, found work, and built a life for his family. He worked tirelessly to provide for those he loved, raising his children in the countryside and pursuing what he believed was the American dream.

Throughout his life, Frank called several states home, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma, before ultimately returning to Wisconsin.

Frank shared his life with his beloved wife, Vang X Lor, and together they built a large and loving family. He was the proud father of nine children—five sons: Tou (Yer) Lor, Phong Lor, Roger Lor (Pazao Chang), Kennedy Lor (Kanou Her), Paul Lor and four daughters: Mai Neng (Chuemong) Xiong, Mai See Lor (Peter Yang), Mai Kia (Matthew) Kerstetter, and Stephany Lor (Michael Yang).

One of Frank's greatest joys was being a grandfather to his 31 grandchildren. He treasured spending time with them and watching his family continue to grow. When he was able to relax and enjoy life, Frank especially loved traveling to warm places and creating memories with his family. More than anything, he valued simply being surrounded by the people he loved.

Frank was a survivor of stomach cancer, another testament to the strength and perseverance that characterized his life. He faced challenges with the same determination that carried him across countries and through the many chapters of his journey. His story is one of survival, courage, sacrifice, and love. Because of the path he walked and the sacrifices he made, his children and grandchildren were given opportunities he once could only dream of.

Frank was more than a husband, father, and grandfather. He was the leader of our home and the foundation of our family.

Frank will be deeply and forever missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, extended family, and all those whose lives he touched. While his presence can never be replaced, his strength, wisdom, and unconditional love live on in the family he fought so hard to build. His courageous journey from Laos to America, defined by immense sacrifice and resilience, created a foundation that will bless generations to come. This beautiful life is his enduring legacy.

May he rest in peace.
