In memory of

Woo Young Park

February 16, 1967 -  March 6, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Woo Young Park on March 6th, 2025. He passed peacefully surrounded by his beloved daughter, loving parents and devoted sisters. Woo Young courageously battled cancer since 2016 while living a full life devoted to his family and his rewarding career.

I am so sorry for your loss. Woo and I were friends at Scarlett Heights. We always joked that we were twins, even though I’m not Korean!
He was such a lovely person. Very funny. Very kind. Very generous. I stayed with him several times when he was out to Vancouver. We kept in touch over the years via text.
I’m sorry I can’t attend his funeral. Woo will be missed. Please know that your family is in my thoughts.

Woo, I wish we had the chance to have better connected the last few years. I know life was not easy for you the last few years, and I didn’t realize what you were going through, but I always and often thought of you. You made my Ryerson years fun and worth attending no matter how difficult things were. I loved taking rips in your red Honda Prelude (I’ve owned 4 Hondas as a result ❤️), and I loved visiting you at your family’s coffee shop. Your parents made the absolute best coffee. I was always amazed at how easy you made things look. Most of us would slave for hours, weeks, and pull multiple all nighters, and some of us struggled no matter how much effort. You would show up after either going to a party, or working at the coffee shop to help your parents out, then you would waltz in cool and collected and knock off a design or write a paper as if they were already stored in your head. I’m glad I was able to visit you in Vancouver, and glad you took the time to visit me and Kelly in Hamilton, but most of all, you stepped up when I needed you most and took on the role as my best man….and that you definitely were….you were my Best Man. You were also there for me when I lost my mom. For these reasons, you will always have a special place in my heart ❤️. Woo, you were one of a kind….a gentle soul….a loving father…a talented designer/Project Manager….a wonderful son, brother….and a loyal friend. You will be sadly missed by so many people that you touched. GOD BLESS and Rest in Peace forever. Until we meet again my brother ❤️🙏🏼🤗

Though it’s been many years since I saw Woo, I will always remember the fun times we shared at Ryerson. My thoughts and prayers are with Woo’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

My heart and prayers go out to the Park family and especially Megan.

Woo and i became friends in High School and shared many many great times over the years. He was a great guy with a BIG heart. In our last two times getting together in 2024 he spoke so proudly of Megan and his sisters.

Woo will always be in my heart and thoughts!

Woo Young was a dear friend—the kind you don’t really remember meeting because they were simply always there, a natural and lasting part of your life. We connected sometime in early high school, and from then on, we were always together. We spent countless hours driving everywhere, first in his Hyundai Pony and later in his beloved Honda Prelude. My love for cars, especially Honda’s, began with Woo.

He was always there, influencing and inspiring me in ways that have stayed with me for a lifetime. When it came time to buy my first camera for school, it was Woo who guided me toward Nikon. Thirty-five years later, I’m still driving a Honda and still using a Nikon—constant reminders of his impact on my life.

In 1995, Woo stood by my side as part of my wedding party. His friendship was a gift, and I will always value the memories we shared.

Rest in peace Woo Young
