William Kwok Wong

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, William Kwok Wong, affectionately known as Willy. He passed away peacefully in his sleep following a year-long battle with aggressive cancer.

Willy is survived by his older sister, Daisy, and brother-in-law, Howard Glase, as well as his younger brother, Wesley. He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and many dear friends.

After graduating from high school, Willy decided that university wasn't quite for him and instead chose to work in our family restaurant. When our parents retired, he returned to school to study commerce at the Thompson Rivers University and then went on to earn his Chartered Accountant designation.

Willy was a devoted son who took on the responsibility of caring for our parents in their later years. Though it was not always easy, he did so without complaint, remaining by their side until their passing.

Willy had a passion for hunting and fishing, but his greatest love was his beloved dog, Ralphie, who held a very special place in his heart.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Kevin and Raj, whose unwavering friendship, dedication, and compassion brought Willy comfort and support throughout his illness. We are also deeply grateful to everyone who showed Willy kindness, friendship, and care when he needed it most.

Willy will be dearly missed, but the memories we shared and the love he brought into our lives will remain with us always.

A celebration of life will take place at Shoening Funeral Service on Saturday, November 21, 2026, to celebrate Willy's life, share memories, and honour the person he was.

Following the celebration, a procession will accompany Willy to Hillside Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest close our parents, Ken and Linda Wong. In a fitting tribute to their special bond, the ashes of his beloved Ralphie will be laid to rest with him.

Thank you to everyone who was part of Willy's life, in particular Dr. Brigden and healthcare colleagues. Your friendship, kindness, and support meant so much to him and continue to mean so much to our family.

Rest peacefully, Willy. You will always be loved, remembered, and missed.

Celebration on Life will be held on November 21, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Service (513 Seymour St, Kamloops, BC) with a graveside service to follow at Hillside Cemetery.
