It is with great sadness that the family of James Shee Hong Fong announces his peaceful passing on Friday, May 29, 2026.

James was born November 19,1932 in Guangdong, China. He led a fascinating life, starting with his journey to Canada to forge a better future. He worked long hours, often putting in 12-hour shifts before heading off to night school, both here and in the US.

James, known affectionately as “Jimmy” by his close friends and acquaintances, was healthy and active to the very end, continuing to cycle and garden in good weather. He worked tirelessly in his garden and proudly shared his harvest of wonderful squashes and purple beans with everyone.

He loved being in nature and in his younger days, he regularly jogged, camped and fished. His love for his family was paramount, and he did everything for them. He was an active member in the Tai Shan Association, performing accounting services as well as providing support for his fellow members.

James will be lovingly remembered by his daughters Shannah (David) and Amy (Ken), grandchildren, Brian, Christian and Emma. He is predeceased by his dear wife Rebecca, and daughters Betty and Ida.

Please join us in celebrating his life on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. Funeral and reception details are below.
