It is with a heavy heart that we announce Hok Man Herman Chan has passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on Friday November 28th, 2025.

Hok Man was born in Hong Kong on November 5th, 1957. He resided in Hong Kong until the age of 12, then lived in Jamaica before deciding to start his new life in Canada after meeting the love of his life after a fateful move to Toronto.

He was a quiet, easy-going guy, living life one day at a time. He did not say much but when he did he brought smiles, joy and a laugh to all who he interacted with.

He dedicated his life to supporting his family by becoming a chef and worked his way up the ranks to become head chef in many Chinese establishments across the city. He worked day and night to perfect his craft and earned high praise amongst his peers at work and from his family and friends at home.

In his down time, he enjoyed watching sports and movies.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Chan and Son, Thomas Chan. He will be dearly missed and remembered by all his extended family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, we appreciate that any monetary contributions be given to the family.
