Michael Munn Wong

Michael “Mike” Wong was born on July 29, 1938 in Santa Rosa, California, and raised by his parents Rose Edythe Chan and Po Kay Wong. Mike attended Lowell High School in San Francisco and graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. While in Seattle, he met his loving wife, Victoria Shui Lang Wan. They were married on October 29, 1960 and had three children: Sharon, Brian, and Angela.

As a career employee at Boeing, Mike earned supplemental master’s degrees in electrical engineering and business administration. He appreciated the opportunities to work and lead many exciting projects in various locations across the United States and globally. He enjoyed exploring the world with his family, especially traveling with his wife Vicky where they visited by bus, air, and sea to so many interesting and diverse locales on nearly every continent.

During his retirement, Mike loved learning new arts and crafts such as origami, Chinese brush painting, and how to play musical instruments. He was also a collector, filling numerous books with stamps and coins as well as Disney pins with his granddaughters. Mike was a charming, cheerful, and gentle man who leaves behind a legacy for everyone he touched and where his spirit will live on.

Michael was preceded in death by his wife Vicky, his brothers Henry Lee, Gene Lee, Ben Lee, and his brothers-in-law of the Wan family Rodney, Milton, and Samuel, and sadly recently by his daughter Angela. Mike is survived by his sisters Eagle Lee Roberts and Anna Kay Lee, sister-in-law Joline, and the members of the Wan family (Frederic and his wife Julia, Edmund and his wife May, Michael and his wife Angela, Marie and her husband Ken Cheuk, four additional sisters-in-law, Susie, Li Qiong, Christina and Money); his two children, Sharon and her husband Leo Madden, Brian and his wife Joyce Wong, and his eight grandchildren: Jonathan and his wife Jaycee, Brittany, Joshua, Jacob, Jeremy, Aoife, Fiona, and Ciara; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews in the United States and Hong Kong.

On June 7, 2022, a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend passed away from complications with pneumonia.
