With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Woon Tim Wong, affectionately known as Timmy, who left us peacefully on June 28, 2025 in Toronto, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 79 years old, just days shy of his 80th birthday.

Born in Pingdi Village, Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, China, Timmy began life with humble roots. After moving to Hong Kong, he trained as a mechanic with Mercedes-Benz, and in 1967, he immigrated to Canada to begin a life filled with hard work, generosity and family.

Timmy was a skilled and trusted automotive mechanic who co-founded a successful garage. He was known not just for his craftsmanship, but for his humor, honesty, and the friendships he built with his customers.

Outside of work, Timmy enjoyed tennis, table tennis, fishing, cheering on Toronto’s sports teams, horse racing, playing mahjong with friends, eating dim sum, and family barbecues.

He married Ita (Lai-On) in 1974, and together they built a loving home, celebrating over 50 years of marriage. Timmy is lovingly remembered by Ita, his children Brian and Cindy, son-in-law Kevin, and grandsons Henry and Louis.

A visitation will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025, from 10:00–11:00 a.m., followed by a funeral service from 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 375 Mount Pleasant Road, Toronto — a fitting tribute on what would have been his 80th birthday.
