Alex "Ta" Denpathoumthip our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend passed away this week. A refugee from Laos, Ta was a well liked and respected member of the Lao community here in Ohio. He had a love for gardening and sports and a laugh that could fill a room with happiness and light no matter how dark it was. A wise, resilient man who was hard working, consistent, generous, and fiercely loyal.  Those lucky enough to have known him will miss him tremendously, but he left enough of his love and kindness in this world to last a lifetime and more.

Those who would like to wish him farewell may come to O.R. Woodyard Co. Funeral Home, 1346 S. High St. Columbus, Ohio 43207, on Saturday March 9th, 2024 at 2 p.m.

Donations towards his services can be made to his daughters Aimee and Janella at https://gofund.me/fce7eba3
