With great sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of King Chan, who passed away peacefully in his sleep on January 6, 2026, at 69 years of age, at St. Joseph’s Health Centre.

King was born in Timmins Ontario. The family moved south to Toronto in 1967 where he completed his schooling at Allenby Public School, Glenview Senior School, Northern Secondary School and Ryerson Polytechnical. At Northern, he took a number of auto mechanic courses, the beginnings of the family expert on car repairs and maintenance. After graduating, he began his career at Bell Canada until his retirement in 2021. He enjoyed working at Bell, especially with the many colleagues and lasting friends that he made there, which continued into retirement.

King enjoyed helping anyone who needed a hand; give him a call or text, and he would make it happen. It didn't matter the time, place, or what you needed. If you needed his help, he was there.

King is preceded in death by his father David Chan, and his mother Tai Chan.

He is survived by his 2 children: Michael Chan and Jennifer Chan (Corey Eusler), his 6 siblings: Perry (Zhen Chan), Percy, Mary, Barry (Samantha Lo), Shirley (Henry Ing), and Shelly (Kevin Quong), and 13 nephews and nieces: Angela Chan (Nathan Tse), Candice Chan, Brandon Chan-Lee, Stephen Chan, Charlotte Chan-Lee (Sean Patterson), Stanley Chan, Jessica Chan (Michael Reale), Anthony Chan, Danette Chan-Lee (Will Chomyc), Christopher Ing, Evette Chan-Lee, Jonathan Ing, and Kaylynn Quong.

Respectfully, we are not accepting flowers. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favourite charity. Thank you.

Suits and ties are not required. If you can, please show up in a Hawaiian shirt or colourful top. King will be looking down on us with a huge smile.

Rest in peace, King. We can’t believe that you are gone, but you will forever be in our hearts and memories.
