Yuthea "Bill" Yin's Obituary
Yuthea “Bill” Yin, age 46, passed away on Monday, December 29, 2025. He was born on November 14, 1979, in Thailand’s Refugee Camp, to his father, Yuthy Yin, and mother, Marany Yin. Yuthea is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 15 years, Srey Heang, and his cherished son, Cole Yin. He is also survived by his siblings: sisters Sina (Yin) Schildt and Christian Yin, and brother Lakena “Luke” Yin.
Yuthea came to the United States shortly after he was born in Thailand and was then raised in Carrollton, Texas where he attended school and later earned his GED. At a young age, he attended The First Cambodian Baptist Church of Carrollton, where he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and was baptized. While his childhood was not without hardship and difficult choices, Yuthea continued to fight forward, determined to make the best life he could.
Known for his playful spirit, Yuthea was a true prankster. He delighted in making others laugh—jumping out to scare someone, yelling just loud enough to embarrass you, or pulling the funniest faces to brighten anyone’s day. His sarcasm was not always understood, but it was always rooted in good intentions. Yuthea believed life was meant to be lived with humor and not taken too seriously.
He later met the love of his life, Srey Heang, and they were married on June 13, 2010 at the home where he grew up. They were blessed with their only son, Cole Yin, who was born in November 2010. Yuthea was a devoted husband and father whose greatest pride was providing for and loving his family.
Together, Yuthea and Srey Heang built a life through hard work and determination. They began their journey serving donuts to the community in Fort Worth, then continued their work in Arkansas, where they lived for 7 years, before returning to Texas. Eventually, they ventured into running their current business serving drinks and donuts in Midlothian. Through perseverance and dedication, Yuthea achieved the American dream—owning cars and a home, accomplishments that filled him with pride.
Yuthea passed away due to liver failure, but he leaves behind a legacy of generosity and love. He had the biggest heart and would give without hesitation—a place to stay, clothes to wear, or money to help, no questions asked. He understood what it meant to be humble and human.
Yuthea is now reunited with his beloved grandmother, Phy Oeuk, whom he loved and admired deeply including his favorite aunt-in-law Katharine Moa. He will be remembered for his laughter, his kindness, and his unwavering love for his family.
