Jackie and children, I was acting supervisor when Suvit started working at Fort Leavenworth. I was present and witnessed him getting sworn in on his first day at work. We became friends soon after we started working together and remained good friends. He will be missed by many.
Jackie and children. I am so sorry for your loss. Sweet Suvit was an amazing person.
The sudden passing of Suvit leaves a void in many hearts. Together, Suvit and jackie raised three fine young adults who will continue to share his legacy with our world. I know they will also be rock solid supports for their mom. My heart is breaking for each of you but I know your family bond will help you through this difficult time. My love and deepest condolences.
Jackie and kids, I am so sorry for your loss. Sweet Suvit was a huge part of our family. He was a brother to me, and a son to my mother and father. He will forever be loved and cherished. Sweet Suvit was my first friend that I met while attending NMSU in Las Cruces, NM. We were both freshman at the time. We became the best of friends ever since. Sweet Suvit and I created awesome memories! Ones that I will never forget. I’m sure you heard some of the stories. I remember his favorite song that he would play when we would go fishing. “The Kid Is Hot Tonite” by Loverboy. He went nuts. He would sing at the top of his lungs. I couldn’t stop laughing. Man, I’m going to miss him. I Love You My Brother! See you on the other side.
Dearest Jackie, Thaius, Siam, and Jasmine,
What an amazing husband, father, friend, family member, and an inspiration to others. I know it’s been a while, but our hearts are so heavy. What a remarkable, joyous life he has had and shed that light upon his family and friends.
Please know that Danny, Mateo and I send our love and prayers. You’re all in our thoughts.
With nothing but love,
Kea, Danny and Mateo

The memorial above is a perfect testimony to Suvit. His laughter in life will always be what I remember. Thank you to the Boyd family for sharing Suvit with us.
Jackie and kids, what a huge loss. I am so sorry. My heart is broken. It’s like I’ve lost a son. Suvit was loved very much by my late wife Helen and myself. He brought great joy and happiness to our family. He would always refer to me as “Pops”. He would call Helen “Mom”. Suvit was a great man, husband and father to three precious children. I am very proud of him! Suvit was always there for us. When Helen was diagnosed with cancer, he made a special trip to Silver City to see and spend time with her. It greatly lifted her spirits. He would always send gifts for Christmas, and wish us a Happy Birthday. Our home here in Silver City will always be Suvit’s home. Jackie and kids, this is your home also.
I love you my Son! Rest In Peace.
Wow, hard to comprehend! Suvit and I spent many (24) years together at GSA. Went on many GSA sponsored trips. Was able to work on many projects together. Great loss for all. Suvit will be missed, prayers to the family.
Jackie, Thaius, Siam, Jasmine and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate enough to work closely with Suvit over the years and developed a good friendship over some of our shared experiences. Whether we were discussing our projects, Germany, travels, food, or anything else, he had a way to lighten the mood. But the one thing that made him light up most was his family. He was proud of your accomplishments and was not afraid to share them. He was not just a great coworker but an amazing person.
He was a good man and will be missed.

To the family and friends we extend our sincere condolences to you all, I’d recently met him working on a GSA project and he was indeed a great guy to work with, so to the family we extend our heart’s prayer to you in a time such as this, be strengthened.

Suvit was a HUGE part of our family ever since he met my brother at NMSU and he started coming home to Silver City. . My parents referred to him as their son and I would call him brother. He would call my mom , mom and my dad, pops. When my mom got sick he flew over to see her and I can’t tell you the joy it brought my mom… She loved him so very much.He NEVER forgot to send my parents a Christmas gift and would call and visit when he could. We all Love him dearly. I can hear him laughing now and it brings my heart such joy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at such a difficult time. He will be truly missed… Love you brother…
I am truly very sorry for your loss. I have known Suvit since he started working at GSA in the late 1990’s. We went on several trips together for our projects. He was very proud of his family, talking about his children going to medical school. He just recently told me about his trip for Thaius’s wedding, showing me pictures of the good times. We talked a lot about coaching and practicing baseball over the years. I remember him telling everyone how to pronounce his name—just like “Corvette.” He was a very fun person to be around. He was so young and will be missed by everyone who knew him.
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Suvit at GSA for about 12 years. He was a very passionate Project Manager and took great pride in his work. This is a great loss, especially when it’s so sudden. My heart aches for your family. Please know Suvit will be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been looking at Suvit’s obituary for the past week and I am having a hard time believing this is real. I have known Suvit for over 20 years. We first met when he was the GSA Energy Engineer and I worked for FAA. Who knew our paths would cross when I started at GSA. For over 11 years I was a Building Manager and for almost all of my major projects he was my PM, including the last prospectus project. He was my co-worker, my friend and my “little brother”, for he called me Phī̀ s̄āw, which is older sister in Thai. We had some commonalities such as my sister-in-law was Thai and I descended from Native America. He talked often about how grateful he was to come to this country and he always talked about his family, especially his children. He was so pround of each of you. I was lucky to see him the Thursday before he passed away and I will never forget him.
We were so sorry that we learned of his death only today. We have lived in the neighborhood since late 2021 and although had not gotten to know the family, he and his wife seemed like very nice, quiet people. We would often wave and shared pleasantries while they were on their runs and doing their stretches together, and previously would watch while he took the dog for walks and played in the backyard. Please know we are sending prayers and good thoughts to all of the family during this very difficult time.
So sorry to hear about the loss of Suvit. May God continue to comfort his family. His stepfather was my classmate in Forrest City, Arkansas .
Uncle Nokie….ill always remember & cherish my childhood
