Kio Shik Song

Kyo Song, 92, left us in March 6, 2018, with his family by his side at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego.

Kyo was born on February 2, 1926 in Hwang Hae Do, Korea. He became a track and field coach at a university in Seoul where he met his future wife Aery Son. After their 5th year of marriage, they migrated to South America with their three little kids. They settled in Ecuador until 1985. He supported the family as a martial arts and track and field instructor while Aery Song was a self-employed business owner. In 1985, they eventually moved to the United States with their entire family and San Diego became their permanent home since 1993.

His interests included fishing, hammer throwing competition until his middle eighties, listening and singing opera songs. He was a responsible, hardworking and caring father who put his family first. He was the consummate role model by being a man of integrity all his life.

Mr. Song is survived by his wife, Aery Song; his daughter, 2 sons and their spouses, Jacob and Junhy Kim, Ken and Sandy Song, Carl and Nadia Song; and 7 grandchildren. Kyo spent his recent few weeks in the company of all of his 3 children.
