Mr. Theodore Theo Ting Horn Yee

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Theodore, our much loved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, on December 22, 2017 at Vancouver General Hospital. He is pre-deceased by his son Edmund (May), his brother Edward, and sister Dulcie (Joe). Theodore is lovingly remembered by his wife Eva, daughters Marian and Marilyn (Bruce); son Favian (Pauline); and by his four wonderful grandchildren Cameron, James, Sean and Dylan. Theodore also leaves behind his sisters Lai (Ramesh), Yum, and Clarice (Elliott); step-cousin Jackson (Ruth) and numerous nephews and nieces. After a life in China, Hong Kong, Australia and Fiji, Theodore and his family moved to Canada and settled here in Vancouver. After arriving in Vancouver, Theodore and the Yee family purchased and operated a wholesale produce supplier in Chinatown. One of Theodore’s favourite pastimes is the Vancouver Canucks, of whom he was a devout season ticket holder for almost 40 years. Theodore also followed his love for golf and moved into a home across the street from the Fraserview Golf Course. He spent many hours there on the golf course or at the driving range working on his swing. Theodore’s family would like to thank all the staff in the Emergency Room and Respiratory Ward at Vancouver General Hospital and they give special thanks to all the loving and caring staff at Lakeview Care Centre. A viewing will take place on Saturday, December 30, 2017 at 7PM at Ocean View Funeral Home and a celebration of life will be held back at Ocean View Funeral Home on December 31, 2017, at 11AM. A Chinese reception will be held afterwards at 2PM at Golden Swan Restaurant 5380 Victoria Dr, Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC or the BC Cancer Foundation.
