Ka Chi "John" Yeung

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ka Chi "John" Yeung on May 20, 2019, surrounded by family at St. Boniface Hospital. Ka Chi was predeceased by his parents Fai-Wah Yeung and Cheng Wai Hing. He is survived by his wife, Grace, of 39 years; sons, Gordon and Colin (Mallory); and siblings, Ka Lin, Ka Yan, Ka Yee, Ka Bik, Ka Tin and Ka Yung; and numerous nieces and nephews. Ka Chi immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in August 1964, after spending 2 years as a teacher. He attended the University of Manitoba and graduated from Plant Science in 1971. He remained in Agriculture at the U of M until 1991 before moving back to teaching, as an Instructor with Red River College until his retirement in 2012. Ka Chi was quiet-natured but had an unquestionable dedication to family and friends. He was hard working and ever the handyman, never one to turn down a challenging task. He always loved the outdoors, enjoying swimming, bike rides and strolls in the park. He also looked forward to his daily trips to the coffee shop. Memorial service will be held on Sunday May 26, 2019 at 9:30 am at Thomson "In the Park" 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. Burial service will be held on Monday May 27, 2019 at 10:00 am at Waverley Memorial Gardens, 1501 Waverley Street. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
