Byron Chan

Byron departed peacefully in his sleep at home in the early morning of September 6, 2022. He is survived by his parents, Watson and Joan Chan, and siblings, Jenny Buffalo, Hazel Bourne, Tyson Chan, and his twin sister, Adrian Chan. Byron was a loving son, brother, uncle, and beloved friend by all.

Byron was born on February 11, 1975, in Vancouver B.C. Canada to Watson and Joan Chan. He graduated from Blanche Macdonald Makeup School with a diploma in makeup artistry. He was a successful makeup artist who worked in retail, fashion, film, and education. He received many accolades and was well respected by peers and colleagues. He later returned to his roots as an instructor at Blanche Macdonald.

Byron was an incredible light in this world. He brought joy, humor, and love to everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. He made everyone feel special and appreciated with every interaction. He was the most thoughtful, generous, kind, and loving individual. You never left an experience with him without your face hurting and stomach in stitches from laughing at something he said or did.

Rest in Paradise Byron! You are loved and you are missed today and always!
