Dave was loving, kind and funny. His family and friends will always remember him for the joy, love and warmth he brought to their lives. Throughout his life, he was always looking out for his family, trying his best to give them the world. He put others first. He loved conversations of all kinds and light-hearted goofing around, always lighting up the room with smiles. He also loved seeking and trying new things. Some of his interests were travelling, food, music, movies, video games and was passionate about all things technology related since he was a teenager. Becoming sick really got him down, but even then, he was still trying to be there for those around him. He planned trips and made quality time for his family to make memories that they will take with them even after he passes. He was deeply insightful and continued growing as a person on a journey of self-discovery and was eager to learn about the world until the very end.
He will forever be remembered and cherished for the love he spread, the laughs he shared and the lessons he taught those around him.
A service for Dave (Chu Cheng) will be held on Thursday 19 December at 10 a.m in loving memory of his life to wish him the best for what’s ahead.
