January 1, 1947 – October 16, 2026

Joseph Su Reh was born on January 1, 1947, in Daw Mi Khû Village, Shadaw Township, Karenni State, to his parents, Day Reh and Bu Meh.

From a young age, Joseph worked as a farmer to support his family. Even after getting married, he continued to live a humble and dedicated life centered around farming and serving his village.

In 1996, amidst the ongoing civil war in Myanmar (Burma), Joseph Su Reh fled to the Thai border, where he and his family found temporary refuge in a Karenni refugee camp. On March 30, 2010, through the UNHCR resettlement program, Joseph Su Reh and his family arrived in the United States to begin a new chapter in Dallas, Texas.

Joseph Su Reh was the beloved husband of Ei Meh. He was also the devoted father of three children who preceded him in death.
