It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Tom Tho Chung, who left this world on July 19, 2025, at the age of 92 in the comfort of his Toronto home.
Born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (formerly Saigon), Tom built a life rooted in compassion, resilience, and unwavering devotion. A beloved husband, a nurturing father, and a proud grandfather, Tom’s presence brought light and kindness into the lives of everyone who knew him.
He was best known for his boundless generosity, quiet strength, and the heartfelt care he extended not only to his family, but to friends and strangers alike. A deeply loyal and loving partner, Tom shared over 70 remarkable years of marriage with his cherished wife, Mae — a bond that was the cornerstone of his life and a testament to enduring love.
Tom is survived by Mae, his two sons and six daughters; and his seventeen adored grandchildren, who will carry forward his legacy of warmth, humility, and unconditional love.
A Funeral Service and Visitation will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Elgin Mills Cemetery (1591 Elgin Mills Rd E, Richmond Hill, ON, L4S 1M9).
Tom’s life was one of grace, kindness, and quiet joy — a life that touched many and will be forever remembered.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Carefirst Ontario. Tom held deep gratitude for the support Carefirst provided to both him and Mae during their later years.
