He made countless merits both with worldly acts, and with the spiritual teachings of the Buddha-Dhamma, and the memory of his great deeds remains in the minds of the devotees to this day, and has passed into the living memory of the current generation of Devotees.

Luang Por Thob passed away on the 14th of March 2519 BE, on the fourth phase of the fourth lunar month, at the age of 95 years old, after 75 years of ordained life.

The current abbot of Wat Chang Phueak (Wat Chon Daen), Pra Kroo Wimol Pacharagij, who is a direct transmission lineage Looksit of Luang Por Thob, says that Luang Por Thob had given instructions before his death, that his body should not be cremated, because one day in the future, his body would become of use to the temple in some way.

So after his death, the Looksit of Luang Por Thob took his body, and placed it inside a glass coffin. The provincial offices then built a Roop Muean statue of Luang Por Thob, and a shrine area for its placement, so that Devotees could worship Luang Por Thob’s image and his Relics.

Each year, the temple performs a ritual to change his robes. The used robes which are removed, are cut up into pieces and given to the Devotees to use as articles of Faith, Good Fortune and Protection of the Blessings of Luang Por Thob.
