In Celebration of
Joseph Gabriel Chan Sing Kuan
January 4, 1945 –
November 28, 2022
Joseph Gabriel Chan Sing Kuan was born on January 4, 1945, in Port Louis, Mauritius. He is one of five siblings, the second and youngest son to Ah Chin Lam Him and Lewis Chan Seun Koon.
An adventurous and courageous spirit, Joseph immigrated to Montreal, Canada on his own to forge a new beginning. Not knowing anyone in this new country he met friends who would one day soon become family. Surviving on hotdogs, Joseph went to school during the day and worked at night to help accomplish his dream of increased opportunities. He met his wife, Vivianne Ng Cheong Ton, and they were married on July 9, 1977.
In the summer of 1978, Joe and Vivianne moved to Toronto and bought their first house in Scarborough, Ontario. In this house, they had two daughters, Priscilla and Melissa, and lived there for many years. They moved to Mississauga, Ontario in 1985 and have lived there since.
He lived happily and peacefully. He made friends everywhere he went. He loved food, sleeping, and everything tech related. He had a curious mind and a generous soul. He loved to help people, donated to numerous charities, gave blood regularly, and was an active part in his children’s and grandchildren’s life. He was devoted to his family and he built the life he dreamed of.
After spending this last beautiful summer and vacation in Mexico with the entire extended family, Joseph soon became unwell. In October 2022 he was diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell carcinoma. After a short hard fought battle with this aggressive cancer and with his loved ones at his bedside, Joseph left us peacefully.
We will never forget his courage, his smiling face, his humour, his hard work, his selflessness, and his strong will to live until the very end.
He was loved deeply by many and we will miss him every day.
You are so loved
Rest in peace
