In the presence of his wife, Victor Lik To Chen passed away suddenly in his home on the morning of Saturday, August 19th, 2017 at the young age of 62. He was a model son, loving husband, caring father and a proud grandfather. Victor was born in Hong Kong, China, on May 11th, 1955. While working as a bell boy at The Empress Hotel, he met his wife Joyce and soon declared their love in matrimony on November 21st, 1976. With a son on the way, Victor turned his attention to academia and graduated with a certificate from BCIT in Civil and Structural Engineering Technology in 1979, then instructed municipal engineering courses at Camosun College. His career quickly took off, working at the District of Saanich as a draftsman, Engineering Aide for the District of North Saanich, Senior Engineering Technologist for the City of Colwood and finally, Manager of Engineering Construction for the City of Langford. Throughout his career, Victor was instrumental on projects such as Dean Park Estates, Colwood Corners, Bear Mountain Estates and Golf Course, Westhills Development, Valley View Estates, Millstream Connector, Jacklin Road and Costco. A career veteran in all things related to new construction and infrastructure maintenance, he considered Langford a second home for 20 years. He was equally passionate about his hobbies: a veteran marksman in target shooting, an avid golfer and casual sport fisherman. Victor was a generous soul often supporting Camosun Civil Engineering students obtain cooperative education work terms and serving on the college’s Civil Engineering Advisory Council. He never missed an opportunity to support the annual Golf for Kids charity event. Victor’s legacy, in part, was creating a desirable and vibrant community in the Westshore. He will be deeply missed by staff, mayor and council and the City of Langford. Survived by his mother, Min Hsien; siblings, Anna, Francis (Larry), Griffin (Meika); wife, Joyce and children, Andy (Kimmy), Amy (Calvin); his grandchildren, Kaylee, Cameron, Paige and Jordan and many nieces and nephews.
Public memorial service to be held Tuesday, August 29th at 1pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens in Royal Oak. Donations can be made to the Victor Chen Memorial Scholarship in Engineering at the City of Langford Engineering Department. Condolences may be offered to the family below.
