Fon Hoy Look

Fon Hoy Look was born in Canton, China on January 18, 1928 to Gue Neng Look and Yuk Choi Tang. On Monday, April 4, 2022, the loving husband and father of three children, passed away at the age of 94. He passed peacefully at home in Seattle, WA, surrounded by his family.

Fon was a church elder of the Bahai faith in the Seattle chapter and community. He helped to create a legacy of memories, connections, and support in the Seattle community. His warmth, devotion and exemplary work and love of the faith was a passion and lifetime commitment. He was a faithful and devout Bahai member and to the end of his days, kept the Bahai faith closest to his heart and in his daily prayers.

Fon graduated from Garfield High School and grew up in south Seattle. His parents owned a laundromat in the International District. After high school, he enrolled in the Air Force and worked as a “weather man” stationed across the country. He retired from the US Postal Service after a career that spanned 30+ years.

Fon was a beloved husband and father of three children. He was a die-hard bowler and played in bowling leagues well into his twilight years. He had an amazing stride, graceful form, and prided himself in perfect scores. Fon loved taichi and often times would start off his day with taichi moves and stretching. There was a period in which he was a taichi instructor for those in the community. He would often tell his family and friends amazing stories of practicing martial arts and rooming with Bruce Lee in his youth.

Within the Asian community and amongst his family and friends, he was known as “Uncle Sunshine.” He exuded joy, warmth, laughter, kindness, and love of his faith and fellow man. Fon was above all a spiritual man, with a great sense of adventure, joy for living, and a natural curiosity of the next life and our creator. His loving spirit, gentle kindness, resilience, and warmth will be dearly missed by all that knew him.

Fon is survived by his spouse, On Lar Look, his children, Judy, Suzanna, Michael and grandchildren, Natasha, Dana, Garrett, Jade, Aiden (great-grandchild), and Ethan.

We love and miss you, Dad!
