1949 - 2024

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Keith Sau Kee Chow - 周寿祺 .

Born in rural Guangdong, China, raised in Hong Kong, Keith immigrated to Canada as a teenager and settled in Toronto. On a cold night two years later, as he celebrated the Chinese New Year and his own 18th birthday, Keith met his sweetheart Mary at a party. This would become the partnership that would define his adult life, that would bring him the family and community he dearly loved.

Beloved husband to Mary, devoted dad to Andrea (Andrew) and Julia (Neil), best 公公 ever to Iris and Kenton, loving brother to Yuet Fong Young, delighted uncle to many nieces and nephews, welcoming brother-in-law to those who became his family through marriage, and predeceased by his mother (Mei Yee), father (Zoi Fan), sister (Mary Wong), and brother (Chau Wai Keung), Keith was a lifelong soccer fan (go Brazil go!), quick-witted and quick to laugh, and generous with his time, money, and love. He was a dedicated employee of Canada Post for 35 years and also ran a Japan Camera Centre with Mary. Though this made for a difficult life of hard work, we are grateful that this afforded him the stable, comfortable family and life that he wanted and valued.

He lives on in the hearts of all who love him.

FLOWERS/DONATIONS: The family welcomes flowers to the Funeral Home or to the house of Mary Chow or donations to the University Health Network Foundation [direct to: Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, in memory of Keith Chow]. Keith was, and we are, forever grateful for the expert, compassionate, life-saving care that they provided him.
