Dr. Daniel Pham Minh Dung's Obituary
With deep sorrow and profound love, we announce the sudden passing of Dr. Daniel Pham Minh Dung, a devoted Husband, cherished Father, beloved Son, caring Brother, and compassionate Physician, who departed this life on August 9, 2025, at the age of 58.
Born on August 29, 1966, in Saigon, Vietnam, Dr. Daniel Pham immigrated to the United States in 1978 following a courageous escape to Hong Kong. From a young age, he demonstrated remarkable resilience and academic excellence. He attended Southern Methodist University on a full scholarship, where he graduated magna cum laude with a double major in Biology and Mathematics.
He earned his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and went on to establish his own Family Medicine practice in Grapevine, which he ran for 18 years. For the past 7 years he served as Center Medical Director at Concentra in Arlington, where he was highly respected by both his patients and colleagues.
Dr. Pham is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Dr. Denise Pham. Their marriage was defined by strength and deep love for their children that enriched every chapter of his life. Together, they built a family of 6 grounded in love, nurturing, and shared purpose.
He was a proud ‘girl dad’, incredibly dedicated to raising strong, independent daughters. He leaves behind his biggest legacy in his four wonderful children, Danielle, Daphne, Dana, and Danya, who will forever miss their father — their rock, mentor, jokester, and constant source of strength. To them, he will always be their superhero.
He is also survived by his beloved parents, whom he cared for with deep devotion, as well as his six siblings, who shared in the bond and love of a strong family.
He had a deep love for gardening, often tending to plants and flowers not only at home, but also at his parents’ house and even at work — bringing life and beauty wherever he went. He treasured every opportunity to create memorable adventures for his daughters, nieces, nephews, and cousins, making each gathering uniquely special.
We will miss him profoundly — his endless humor, infectious laughter, and the joy he brought into every room. We were truly blessed to have him in our lives, and his memory will live on forever in our hearts.
