Upon Kha’s death he left behind his wife, Anna Nguyen Thi Than, and sons, Khôi, Thuc, Diệm, Nhu, Cẩn and Luyện, and daughters, Giao, Hiep and Hoang. Khôi would later become a governor but would be assassinated together with his son by the Việt Minh. Thuc ended up becoming Vietnam’s third ordained Catholic bishop. Diem would become the first president of an independent South Vietnam and Nhu would help him in the running of the country. Hiep’s son, Kha’s grandson, Francis Xavier Nguyễn Văn Thuận became a Cardinal in the Catholic Church in 2001 and in 2017, he was named as Venerable by Pope Francis, opening up the road to possible sainthood.
