Yu-Hsiung Wang

Mr. Wang was born on July 27, 1926 in Bejing, China. He is the sixth child of Shu-Sheng Wang and Shu-Zheng Jing. He married Mei Chen of Tianjing, China on July 7, 1955. They were married for 21 years until she died in October 15, 1976.

He earned a Bachelor's degree in English from the National Kaohsiung Normal University of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida.

He was a Chief Deputy Officer in the Chinese Customs for 40 years. He was also a lecturer in English at Kaohsiung Medical School, Taiwan. He was born and raised in China. He moved to Taiwan where he lived for 45 years. In 1994, he emigrated to the United States where he spent his last 16 years.

In April 1981 he was baptized at Kaohsiung Mandarin Church in Kaohsiung, Taiwan after he professed his faith in his Lord Jesus Christ.

Mr. Wang was a man who loved life. A big part of his loving life was making us laugh. We enjoyed laughing with him. He was never too big a man to laugh even at himself. He was the life of the party- in many ways he was the party. It was his laughter and zest for life that endeared him to us all.

We saw the outer man, but it was his inner man in Christ that was the Source of his strength to live life to its fullest. In fact, his faith was his life. He did not hide it. He confessed it freely to all. Above all, he loved God. And in loving God, he loved the life that God gave him.

He was a faithful man with an enduring love for his wife. She died at a young age of 44. Although he was in the prime of his life, he never remarried, but spent the rest of his life remembering and honoring her.

He is survived by his brother Yu-Bing Wang; his sisters Jing Yuen Wang and Jing Hua Wang; his children Loong Hsian Wang, Wei Hsiang Wang, and Nee-na Wang Jesalva; his daughter-in-law Wen Wen Lin; his son-in-law Orlando Jesalva; and his grandchildren Ching Wang, Caroline Jesalva, and Jonathan Jesalva.

His memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 1:30pm at Peace Presbyterian Church in Cary, NC. Rev. Brian Diver of Kings Park International Church in Durham, NC will officiate the service. Pallbearers are Jim Wang, Orlando Jesalva, Joshua Niu, Charles Lin, Wu Jun, and Jiang Ming Ya. A gravesite ceremony will be held after the service. Following the burial, a Celebration of a Wonderful Life will be held in the church fellowship hall. Visitation will be held on Friday, October 22, 2010 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home in Cary, NC. He will be interred at Wake Memorial Park in Cary, NC.

There was a great outpouring of love from family and friends from all over the world during the last days of Mr. Wang's life. The family would like to thank each one of you. We especially want to thank the brothers and sisters of Kings Park International Church, Mr. Wang's home church. Their expression of love and caring, and their prayers displayed the true beauty of Christ's Bride, His church.

Three words sum up Mr. Wang's life: faith, strength, laughter. He embodied these wonderful traits. We will miss him deeply.

Until we meet again Dad. You will always live in our hearts. We love you.
