Sareyvoth “Tay” Long 06/08/92-07/21/2020
Sareyvoth was born on the morning of June 8th, 1992 in Seattle, WA at the University of Washington Medical Center.
Sareyvoth grew up in White Center & Tukwila, WA.
He went to Thorndyke Elementary School, Chinook Middle School, and Tyee High School.
Early morning of July 20th, 2020 he collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support where he battled for his life for 37 hours.
He passed away in the evening of July 21st, 2020.
He was the youngest child of Rasy Long and Saov Kong. Both parents were immigrants that fought through the Khmer Rouge in the 1980’s.
Sareyvoth is survived by his parents, Rasy Long and Saov Kong, his brothers Samnang, Samith, Savuth and his sisters Thyna and Nida Long.
He also leaves behind nine nephews; Anthany, Saovonn, Simon, Andersyn, Eliott, Leland, Dylan, Wyatt and August. Five nieces; Gabriella, Jordan, Nataly, Isabella and Louella.
Tay lived his 28 years of life to the fullest. He was the goofy friend of the group. The one with the big heart and big smile on his face. He was a dedicated gamer, he loved his Xbox. He wore his signature, all white Seahawks jersey to almost every outing he went to.
He was known to be a sneaker head, loved his Jordan’s and always kept them looking clean. EDM was one of his favorite genres of music.
His first music festival was Resolution, New Years Eve of 2014.
He had a bold sense of humor, the kind you could joke with about anything.
The name “Tay” was originated by his sister Nida. Her friends didn’t know how to pronounce his real name, so in his younger days he would go by Tay Tay, but as time went on, it shortened & the name “Tay” has stuck ever since.
The loss of Tay is very painful to many of us, but he will live on in our hearts forever, by the memories we hold and the stories we’ll share. We love you then, we love you today, and we will love you forever!
