Born in Vietnam, on February 26, 1971, he was the beloved son of Bao and Sandy Tran. As the proud owner of The Classy Nail Bar in Bridge City, Lam dedicated his career to providing exceptional service and building meaningful relationships with his clients. His artistic flair was evident not only in his work but also in his love for drawing, reflecting an innate creativity. Lam enjoyed the great outdoors, finding joy in fishing and bird hunting. He had a particular fondness for the thrill of the horse track, where he often spent time cheering on his favorite jockeys and trainers. Above all, Lam cherished his time with his children, who were the light of his life. His love for them was boundless. His generosity was felt through his great cooking, especially boiling up a big pot of spicy crawfish and crabs. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness and creativity that will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Larry Lam Tran will be dearly missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
