In remembrance of Frank Pik Hung Chan, beloved husband, father and brother, who passed away on June 20, 2023. Frank is survived by his wife Winnie, his son Kourch (Jennifer), his three siblings Gladys (Barry), Raymond (Jessica) and Juvina (Joseph), his sister-law Flora, his God-daughter Veena (Tony) and nephews and nieces. He is predeceased by his brother Roger.
Frank was born in Hong Kong in 1938 to his parents Hoi Wan Chan and Fuk Yung Lai, as their first child. Frank loved his younger sisters and younger brothers dearly and he was protective as their eldest brother.
Frank was married to his wife for 56 years. Together they shared in their love for their son, their faith and their community of friends and family. As a father, Frank modelled courage, duty and a life well lived. He was kind, and enjoyed sharing his cooking, sports and laughter.
Frank travelled the five continents as a seaman and then as a marine engineer. It was during this time that he developed an affinity for the sea. In 1978, Frank and his family moved to Edmonton, Canada, where he began his second career as a journeyman welder. In 1995, his interests led to a third career in Vancouver repairing homes and apartments.
Frank made friends easily and was generous with sharing his time, his company and his knowledge with many. In his later years, Frank deepened his faith, returned to his art, practiced Tai Chi and became very passionate about fishing.
He looked for the best in people and gave the best he had.
Frank will be sorely missed by his family and friends. He is reunited with our Lord.
Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life (John 6:47).
