We are deeply saddened by the passing of our City Year L.A. AmeriCorps member Nguyên Quang Bùi. He was an incredibly kind spirit with a passion for service at John Liechty Middle School. His family shared that he loved supporting his students so much that he was even considering returning for a second year. Nguyên’s warm spirit and passion for service will continue to be remembered by our Los Angeles community. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

It is with a very heavy heart and sorrow that I write this post. Over the Thanksgiving break we lost a beautiful and caring soul, Nguyên Quang Bùi. Nguyên was an amazing person who touched every soul he met and lit up the room when he walked in. He was extremely passionate about serving for City Year @ JLMS and loved his students. The impact he made on the staff and students at JLMS was quite strong and he always made sure to ask “ how’s your day going “ or “ any plans for the weekend ? “ Nguyên, you are a beautiful soul that will truly be missed, may you rest in peace. 💙🙏🏽👼🏼🦈 #RipNguyên #BeAShark #HeMadeBetterHappen
