Obituary of Ruochen Sun
In Loving Memory of Ruochen (Eric) Sun 孙若辰
April 22nd, 1988 – February 24th, 2025
With profound love and admiration, we celebrate the life of my beloved husband, Ruochen Sun, also known as “Eric,” of Lantz. Eric passed away peacefully on February 24, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones and loyal friends at the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. He lived with unwavering courage, boundless love, and an unbreakable spirit.
Eric was born in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, the beloved son of Jian Sun and Luming Yang.
In 2008, Eric came to Canada as an international student. He proudly earned his X-Ring and graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in 2011. Soon after, he began his career as an application developer at Sobeys Head Office.
However, life dealt him an unimaginable challenge just as he was beginning to build his future in this beautiful country. In January 2013, at only 24 years old, Eric was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. From that moment on, he became a warrior—facing every obstacle with unwavering strength and courage for the next 12 years.
Eric’s cancer was driven by a genetic mutation called ALK, and over the years, he underwent multiple targeted therapies and radiation treatments. His journey was like a roller coaster, but through every high and low, he never lost hope and always kept his head high.
A curious, intelligent, and ambitious soul, Eric never stopped learning—even during his fight with cancer. He was passionate about making a positive impact on the world and sought to inspire those around him. In 2019, he embarked on a business venture with me and our incredible business partners. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, our business survived and continues to thrive—a testament to Eric’s resilience and determination.
Eric’s kindness was genuine and effortless. He was easygoing, full of humor, and incredibly knowledgeable—often called a “walking encyclopedia.” He had a warmth and wisdom that made every interaction meaningful, always offering laughter and insight in his own unique way. He never sought the spotlight but left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
He loved spending time with family and close friends, listening to podcasts, and watching great movies and TV shows. He had a passion for sailing, aviation, and firearms—earning his sailing certification, completing his firearm safety course, and even experiencing the thrill of piloting a plane.
Eric fought a good fight. After 12 years of facing stage 4 cancer with determination, he did not lose this battle—he won the journey. He won by living fully, by loving deeply, and by leaving behind a legacy of strength and hope. He lived, he loved, and he won. His spirit remains unshaken, and his love will guide us always.
Eric was a devoted son, husband, father, and friend, whose presence lit up every room. He faced every challenge with resilience and refused to let illness define him. Instead, he chose joy, laughter, and the moments that truly mattered. His strength was not measured in years but in the love he gave and the lives he touched. His love and laughter will live on in our hearts forever.
Eric is survived by his father Jian Sun (孙键), his mother Luming Yang (杨鲁鸣), his wife Yan Ding (丁艳), and his son Felix Haoqi Sun (孙淏琪), who will carry his love and spirit forward. His legacy is not one of loss but of victory—of a life well lived and a love that never ends.
A celebration of Ruochen Sun’s incredible journey will be held on February 28 at Ettinger Funeral Home, 2812 Highway 2, Shubenacadie.
Visitation will begin at 12:30 PM, followed by the funeral service at 1:00 PM, officiated by Minister Daverro Smith.
A reception will follow in the hospitality area.
Cremation will take place.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to ALK Positive, the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Nova Scotia Cancer Centre to continue his fight in a way that uplifts others.
