A family of three, including a five-year-old girl, are among those killed in the Lapu Lapu Day tragedy.

Richard Le, 47, and his wife Linh Hoang, 30, along with their daughter Katie, were at the south Vancouver festival when a driver sped through a pedestrian-only area and struck dozens of people on April 26, 2025 just after 8 p.m.

According to a GoFundMe campaign that has been set up for the family, the couple leave behind a 16-year-old son Andy Le, who was not at the festival “only because, at the last moment, he decided to stay home to finish his homework instead.”

“Richard Le was a dedicated father, badminton and tennis coach, and real estate professional. He devoted his life to teaching young people the values of sportsmanship and team spirit. He served his community and clients with pride and always went out of his way to help others,” read the GoFundMe.

“His wife, Linh, was known for her kindness and gentle spirit. She had been planning a visit to see her family in Vietnam. Katie, one of the youngest victims, was about to graduate from kindergarten. She was vibrant, joyful, and full of life.”

On Wednesday, son Andy shared a video statement via his aunt’s Facebook page, thanking everyone for the donations to his GoFundMe.

“I would like to thank everyone who has donated to the GoFundMe campaign, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. I truly appreciate each and every one of you,” he said.

He said he knows other people are hurting too so he pledged to donate $266,000 of the funds to help the other victims.

As of Thursday, More than $540,000 had been raised to help Le.

Le said he wishes to live with his grandparents who have helped raise him and “who truly love me.”
