Kelvin Kwai Wah Yip passed away peacefully on January 5, 2026, at Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Kelvin was a postal officer in Hong Kong, known for his exceptional sense of direction, dedication, and professional skill.
He was a beloved husband to Therese Wai Ling Yip, a proud father to his two children, Gary Yip and Annie Yip, and a devoted grandfather to his four grandchildren: Summer Wong, Marco Yip, Joyce Wong, and Michelle Yip.
Kelvin enjoyed family gatherings, food adventures, and playing Mahjong. He loved to drive, enjoyed playing Chinese chess, and was good at sports. He was also a gifted writer, well known for his beautiful handwriting.
Kelvin will be deeply missed and forever remembered for his sense of humor, generosity, and kindness—not only to his family and friends, but also to those he had never met.
