I was employed at Van-Kam Freightways Ltd.before retiring  and had many dealings with Alan. He was excellent to work with and always displayed integrity and humanity. I was very sorry to hear of his passing.

I had the pleasure working with Alan during my time at CWB for 9 years.  We were in different departments but I really enjoyed working with him for some mutual clients.  He was a great colleague to work with, always kind, polite and calm.  My sincerest and deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I met Alan years ago when I joined CWB Coquitlam branch in 2011.  He was very welcoming, very easy to get along with and very helpful at the start of my banking journey in Canada.
My deepest condolences to the Yee family.  Alan is much loved and missed.

Alan was a great colleague and friend.  I had the pleasure to work with Alan for the past 14 yrs. When I think of Alan, I think of his kind nature, his calm demeanor, and the way he carried himself.    He would always call to check in, to catch up, and to share knowledge.  He was very proud of his Daughter and Family overall and you could see his smile grow when He talked about them.  Alan was very well respected and regarded within CWB for his work, but also for the person he was, and how he treated his colleagues.   You will be greatly missed Alan.  My deepest condolences go to your family. 

I had the chance to work with Alan at CWB and I always enjoyed connecting with him after our meetings were done.  Alan was kind, very patient, always made time for me and had this dry wit that always made me laugh!

Alan will truly be missed.
   

Alan was such a gentle soul and he was always cool, calm, and collected.  He really cared about people and building lasting relationships.  Alan would always say good morning when he saw you and take the time to ask how you were and what was going on.   

I recall working in the same office as Alan when I first joined CWB and although I was not in the same line of business,  he would always check in with me to see how I was doing.  Years later after he moved to the Coquiltam branch I would see him periodically downtown, and he would always pop by and make the effort to say hi.  

Alan you will be missed.  My sincerest condolences to his loved ones.  

I had the opportunity to speak with Alan a number of times over the last several years.  He was intelligent, thoughtful, balanced - all that to say, good at his job.  But more than that, he was a nice person - a pleasure to talk to and obviously someone of character.  My condolences to the family.  He also will be missed by his CWB work family.


I started at CWB in March,

I remember the day I was suppose to start my first shift.

Alan checked in with me to see how the weather is like from Abbotsford. He made sure I would have a safe commute.

I was new to Coquitlam my first day, he welcomed me to the team.

I was also new to the area, it was lunch time. He mentioned "There is a Wendy's and Starbucks near by if you needed anything"

Thank you for your Kind Heart Alan!


A bright star has fallen, 
No, it was not the way to go, Alan.
Almighty’s gain, CWB’s loss,
Personally, we will miss a lovely boss.
Your sharp mind, deep passion,
Helped us in many situation.
You were sincere, hard working like a honey bee,
We will always remember you, Alan Yee.

Alan was a mentor of mine whom I greatly value and respect.  His patience, guidance and advice  in my early equipment financing career, is still with me to today.   I have fond memories working with him and take advice he provided and pass it on to others.    He was an exceptional leader and a wonderful  person who will be dearly missed.  

My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

During my years working with Canadian Western Bank, Alan was my Director. Not only was he a respectful leader and mentor who brought me into the Bank and supported my career growth, but he was also a great friend whose kindness and caring are unforgettable to those of us around him. 

This is such unexpected and heartbreaking news to hear about Alan.  May him rest in peace and my sincere condolence goes to his family. 

To the Yee Family, 

I worked with Alan years ago and didn't have much interaction with him beside a bump in the branch or lunchroom but I still remember his smile and gentle demeanor all these years later. 

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Alan & I had been colleagues and friends for almost 20 years.  We shared some common clients and it was always fun to celebrate milestone achievements and clients' successes over annual review lunches, industry events and anniversaries.
Alan was a pillar of the bank-always hard working, compassionate towards everyone and a great mentor to his team.  He was disciplined in his cold calls and brought in the "deal team" even before it became in style to show up at a prospect with a commercial lender and/or corporate partner.
Alan was an incredibly passionate family man and loved his wife and daughter unconditionally.  He was always so PROUD of his daughter  and her achievements in school and in sports.  He loved planning annual vacations with his wife and daughter.    Very often, I would see them all holding hands on a weekend morning heading to some event downtown.
Alan was principled, a man of integrity, humility and character.  I will miss him greatly as will our clients and the Bank that he worked at for 20 years and so loved.
Jun & Juliana
We are so saddened for your loss.  May you find strength knowing that Alan left an indelible print in all our hearts.  Gone but never forgotten.
God bless your family

Dear Jun and Julianna,

Alan was a such a kind and well liked colleague. We will all really miss him and can only try to learn from his incredible values so that we can be more like him. 

My thoughts are with both of you and I send you both prayers and the strength that you need at this time.

Regards
Supriya     

Alan's passing has been a shock for sure, and we're still trying to come to terms with it. 

I was fortunate enough to have worked [indirectly] with Alan at the Coquitlam Team of Canadian Western Bank since 2017.   He was probably one of the most soft-spoken people I've ever worked with.  He never failed to acknowledge a person while he went about doing his work and had a quiet sense of humour too. 

My last interaction with Alan was while he was trying to fix a paper jam at the main copy machine of the branch and was obviously a bit frustrated with the machine.  Together, we figured it out and, while doing so, had a good laugh too.  Through it all, I did not hear one angry word or swear word from Alan, unlike most of us who would have had a few choice words and names to call the machine. 

That, to me, was Alan.  He came across has having infinite patience and always stayed calm ... at least on the outside.  

To his family, I am so sorry that Alan has physically left you, and I pray that you are blessed with strength and grace through what must be a very difficult period in your lives.

I pray that Alan's gentle soul rests in eternal peace, in a place where only true love and joy abound.  Amen.

I first met Alan in 2012 when I joined CWB as Vice President in Vancouver.  Alan made a point of visiting our office to meet the "new guy" and we made a connection instantly, so much so, that I convinced Alan, and his boss, that he should move to our flagship branch to provide maximum benefit to our largest Commercial clients. Alan was a true professional and incredibly down-to-earth and wonderful to work with. His honesty was refreshing as was the unique way he conversed, for example he would often say, "Well you know Brian,..."  Working your name into his sentences at key points in the conversation which I think helped build trust and relationships.  Alan never disappointed me, or our clients who always had good things to say about Alan.   I also remember the love and respect he had for his family and recall a late meeting we rescheduled so that he could leave in time to pick-up his daughter from figure skating. The love and pride in his voice was palpable.  So, while this a very sad day, I am happy that I got to know and work with Alan. He was a great man.  

Dear Jun, Julianna & the Yee’s family, 

Alan is a loving father, husband & son of the Yee’s family. So sad to hear about his passing . May he rest in peace. 

May the good memories with Alan continues to give comfort, warmth, courage and grace to the Yee’s family! 

Please accept our deepest & heartfelt  condolences!  Your family are always in our thoughts ! 

Sending love & peace,  

William & Gracy Leung
