Sayon Takashi Savorn

March 19, 2001 – June 9, 2018

Sayon Takashi Savorn, a bright and energetic presence, was born in Seattle, Washington on March 19, 2001. A young man with an infectious smile and a warm personality, he passed away on Saturday, June 9, 2018, at the age of 17.


A student at Lynwood High School, Sayon played the clarinet in the orchestra and had many passions. He loved playing football, snowboarding, rollerblading, track, swimming, and video games. Sayon was also proud but humbled to be selected captain of his football team, a title that showed how much his teammates respected him. In quieter moments, he enjoyed working out, spending time with his family, and eating Ezell’s chicken, often taking photos of his meals and videos of his friends on Snapchat.


Sayon is deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his loving family, including his mother, Sheri Tada; his father, Thoeun Savorn; his siblings, Bryson, Jasmine and Dylan Le, Angelique and Jaramani Savorn; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and his faithful companion, Gizmo.
