It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Huang Tien Yen, who left us peacefully the morning of April 11, with his son Paul by his side.
Huang Tien Yen will be remembered as a patient and selfless man. He was a husband and a dad first who had a voracious appetite for life, food and travel. His quiet strength was a source of inspiration to his family and touched the lives of those around him. He always put his family first, providing steadfast care and support throughout his life. He was a devoted grandfather who doted on his grandkids and took great pride in his children.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Hou Mei Ying. Their marriage has always felt like “faith”, a love that was simply meant to be, and one that lasted a lifetime. Their love was deep and enduring, and together they built a life rooted in devotion and partnership.
He is lovingly remembered by his children: Catherine (Philip), Christina (Michael), Peter, Caroline (Joseph), and Paul. He was a proud grandfather to Timothy (Mandy), Kevin, Rebecca (Rodrigo), Michelle, Leslie, Selena, Elena, Ethan, Alyssa, Emmeline, and Carissa. His legacy lives on through the many lives he shaped with his love and guidance.
He will be deeply missed beyond words and his memory will live on in the way his family and loved ones carry forward his legacy, honoured each day through the lives they lead in his memory.
