Obituary for
Siaw Yit “John” Chan
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of “John” Siaw Yit Chan on May 3, 2022, at the age of 84 years.
John will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Shui Kiaw of 59 years and his children; Kelly (Victor), Cynthia and Andy. His greatest joy came from spending time with his grandchildren, Benjamin, Makenna and Cora. John will also be missed by his brother, many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
John was born and raised in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia. There he earned his Instrument Technician certificate. In 1968 they made the long voyage to Canada where they established roots in Edmonton.
John enjoyed spending time working with his hands whether it be tinkering with his vehicles or working on various home projects. His proudest accomplishment was in the organization and construction of the family home the children were raised in.
Thank you to the doctors and nurses at The Royal Alexandra Hospital for their kind and compassionate care.
Funeral Service Thursday May 26, 2022, at 1 p.m. at Park Memorial, 9709 – 111 Avenue, Edmonton. Interment will follow at Evergreen Memorial Gardens.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Siaw Yit John
