It is with heavy hearts that the family of Eric Ko announces that he passed away peacefully and in the arms of Jesus at the Vancouver General Hospital on Saturday, June 29, 2024 after a courageous battle with kidney cancer.
Devoted husband of Diana Che and loving parent of Chloe, Mario Antonio (son-in-law) and Wesley. Cherished and proud grandfather of Isabella. He is survived by his sister Mila and brother Ben as well as numerous nephews, nieces and their children.
Eric was born in Hong Kong and lived most of his life in Vancouver. He was a pillar to his family, and he will be forever cherished in their memories as a funny and caring husband, father and grandfather. His love for food was always appreciated by those who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew and loved him.
The family would like to extend their thanks to the staff at the British Columbia Cancer Agency and the Vancouver General Hospital for their care as well as friends and family for their support during this time of grief.
A celebration of life visitation will be held at Vancouver Memorial Services and Crematorium on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.
