He was born on October 11, 1965, to Bangon Kimsua Gilfillian and Jessie James Gilfillian. He was born in Thailand and loved to visit the beaches when he was a child. Growing up, he could speak 3 different languages, and he lived in many different countries before making Beaumont his forever home. He graduated from Beaumont Charlton Pollard, class of 1983. During this time, you could find Suchart at the local ‘Crank It Up’ Contests where he always won first place, blaring a bass-thumping stereo system that he proudly installed himself. This later led to his career, where he spent a majority of his working life at Beaumont Sound. He would install the best stereo surround systems, car alarms, and hand free mobile phone sets, etc. He then worked at Ion GPS selling and installing GPS systems in vehicles. This led him to his current employer, PassTime, where he traveled the nation training technicians on how to properly install GPS systems. He was well known and respected in the industry and was a master at working with his hands on any project that needed to be accomplished.

Suchart was a devoted Son, Brother, Father, Grampy, and incredible friend. He was, and forever will be the Rock of his family. He would do anything for his family and friends. He instilled a great work ethic for his children and was a great role model for many in SETX. Suchart loved life, which was felt in his presence. He had a way of making a difficult situation seem manageable. He inspired us. There was nothing he couldn’t fix, nothing he couldn’t cook, no hardship he couldn’t offset. He always said, “If you’re going to do it, do it right…or don’t do it at all!”. He was loved and cherished by all who were fortunate to know him. Suchart was an incredible cook and loved traveling to the best spots in the world to try famous dishes. In his spare time, you could find him posting photos of all of his delicious food finds for the day. He enjoyed fishing, crabbing, and hunting with all of his family and friends.
