Quang Mach

Quang was born on January 16th, 1935, in Cho Lon, Vietnam, growing up alongside 11 siblings. Quang married his wife, Chanh Luong, in early 1956. In 1979, Quang decided to take his family and escaped the communist regime after the Vietnam War, via boat, also known as the "boat people", and immigrated to Seattle, Washington, USA as a war refugee. This is where he joined his brothers (3&4) and families, and later was joined by sister 8 and her husband. Quang resided in Washington state from that point on. He loved Seattle and showing off the city to every family member and friend that visited- navigating without a map of course. He worked for the City of Seattle for 20 years in the Accounting Department until he retired.

After retirement, Quang enjoyed traveling with his wife. Together, they visited many countries. Places Quang loved to visit time and time again included Taiwan (Quang’s sister 9 and her entire family), Vietnam (Quang’s nieces and nephews and families), France (Chanh’s families).

Quang was kind-hearted, had immense passion for his family, and made those around him smile (and not worry!). He also never failed to be stubborn and loved to debate (or some would say, argue) with his own family. He loved learning new recipes on his iPad and cooking for his loved ones, especially making banana bread or radish cake for his visiting grandchildren. Quang was adventurous and always learning new things, often exceeding the limits of what one might expect a grandpa/great-grandpa to be able to do; using his ipad/phone to email/text his children, sending Zelle’s for birthday gifts and red envelopes, playing challenging Kanoodle puzzle games, and renewing his driver’s license at age 88.

Quang will be greatly missed by his wife of 68 years, Chanh, his children Suantin, Linh, Ticson, and their families which include his grandchildren, and great-grandchild, as well as family of sister 9 (Taiwan), family of brother 11 and brother 12 (Montreal), and many nieces and nephews around the world.

2024年5月28日, 天堂裡的麥氏家族迎來了一位新天使,麥廣生, 他排行第十, 故亦是眾人佳稱之十叔/十舅父.麥廣生享年89歲.

1935年1月16日, 麥廣生出生於越南堤岸,他與十一位兄弟姊妹一起成長. 1956年初廣生與妻子梁玉珍成親。1978年秋,廣生攜同家人乘船離越,投奔怒海,抵達了馬來西亞成為“船民”. 1979年夏, 廣生家庭抵達美國華盛頓州西雅圖與他的三哥,四哥和家人團聚, 隨後八姐和她的丈夫亦相繼而來在西雅圖定居. 廣生很熱愛西雅圖, 他會義不容辭親自駕車導遊向每一位來訪的親友展示這座城市—當然他是不需要google. 他在西雅圖市的會計部門工作了二十年直至退休.

退休後, 廣生喜歡和妻子一起到處旅遊尤其是去探訪異國的親友. 他們去過很多國家,常去的地方包括台灣(廣生九姐與家人), 越南(廣生的姪子女們及家人), 法國(玉珍的家人).

廣生心地善良,對家人, 朋友,充滿熱情,讓周圍的人都面帶微笑不用為他擔心. 他亦非常固執,若他認為對的事情他定會把握與家人辯論的機會. 他喜歡在平板電腦上學習新食譜,為家人親自下廚, 尤其是為來訪的孫子女們做香蕉麵包或蘿蔔糕. 廣生很有冒險精神, 對學習新事物從不畏縮, 經常超越人們對祖父/曾祖父能力的期望.他會用平板電腦或手機給孩子們發電子郵件或短信, 用Zelle來寄生日禮物和紅包. 他會玩有挑戰性的Kanoodle益智遊戲, 並在八十八歲時更新駕照.

廣生的離世, 他攜手了六十八年的妻子玉珍, 他的子女洵婷,洵玲, 錫江及他們的家人, 他的孫子女們和曾孫, 九姐及家人們(台灣), 十一弟家人們(滿地可), 十二弟及家人們(滿地可), 以及世界各地的許多侄子女們都將深切懷念他.

In lieu of flowers, Quang prefers you buy yourself a hat and treat yourself to dim sum.
