Farewell to Jon Nantawut

Representatives from the management, staff, and children of the Pattaya Orphanage, led by Fr. Weera Phangrak, attended the funeral and cremation ceremony for Nantawut Hangsalad, or Jon, a former resident of the orphanage, who passed away on November 2, 2024, at the age of 35, due to an underlying health condition. The cremation took place at Na Chom Thian Buddhist Temple in Sattahip District, followed by a ceremony to scatter his ashes at sea, organized via Wat Djittabhawan in Banglamung District. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped arrange these services, including Mr. Watchararit Thanasansitthikon, or Khun Fah of the “Pitstop” workshop, Jon’s former employer, as well as his staff and customers. We also express our gratitude to Jon’s fellow alumni of the Orphanage, including the “Hero” group, and the HHN Foundation. May God grant eternal rest to Jon..
