It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of David Kin Yee, beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. He passed away on February 1st, 2025 at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, following a heart attack at the age of 66.

Born in Sault Ste. Marie in 1958, David Kin Yee was the third of eight brothers and sisters born to Kim Chun Yee and Kam Hor Yee. His family settled in Toronto in 1968.

David earned his Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Toronto and subsequently obtained his Chartered Accountant designation. He was recognized on the UFE Honour Roll which represents the top 20 writers over the 4 day Chartered Accountant examinations. With his strong drive and work ethic, he went on to establish a successful accounting practice in Mississauga where he was devoted to helping his clients. He was a devoted Raptors fan and season ticket holder and an avid follower of motorsport. Although he would deny it, he grew to deeply love the family cat, Liger, and the other neighbourhood cats, Norberta and Jeff, who they welcomed into their home last year.

David is survived by his devoted wife of 37 years Denise Young, his son Ryan (Andrea), his son Matthew (Judy), his daughter Meagan, his grandson Evan, his parents Kim Chun (Kam Hor, passed on), his sister Susan (William), his brother William (Marina, passed on), his brother Alan (Frances), his brother Edward (Lai-Yee), his brother Raymond (Christine, passed on), his sister Carol, and brother Larry (Diane), and many nieces and nephews. As a husband, father, Ye Ye, son, and brother and to his extended family and their descendants, he was a devoted family man who prioritized his family over everything. He will be remembered by those who know and love him for his dedication, generosity, work ethic, and big dreams. We will miss his laughter, advice, and eagerness to help others.
