On March 2, 2026, at 89 years, Samuel Yan-Lin Wong, after a short illness, passed peacefully into the loving arms of Jesus Christ, his Lord and Saviour. Born and raised in Kowloon, Hong Kong, he would later immigrate to Toronto, ON, to join his mother and sisters who had immigrated earlier in the late 1960’s. He was introduced to Jesus at a young age by his mother, found refuge in his faith, and was known to sing many beloved hymns and songs daily to carry him through. His friends and family enjoyed his witty riddles and sense of humour. Eventually graduating from the University of Ottawa in Electrical Engineering, he would work in Computer Engineering in Mississauga. A relatively quiet person at heart, he enjoyed gardening, fixing appliances and many DIY projects over the years.
He was predeceased by his parents (Wong Shau Ki and Wong Ho So King) and his elder sister Grace Yan Chuen Wong.
He leaves behind a sister, Ginnie, and a nephew, Joshua.
The family would like to thank the staff at Humber River Hospital (7E), Queen’s Estate Retirement Home, and Etobicoke General Hospital (9E) for their care in recent months.
