With profound sadness and deep love, we announce the passing of Yo Trieu on August 1, 2025, after a courageous journey with cancer. He passed away at the Chilliwack General Hospital holding his wife’s hand, surrounded by his family.
He was the cherished husband of Ashley Trieu and proud father to Violet and Stella. Yo was the beloved son of Phong Trieu and Tuyet Phan, and a loving brother to Linh Collins (Brandon), Hong McLeod (Graham) and Tam Trieu (Petra). He is also survived by his father- and mother-in-law, Tom and Gail Hoogendoorn and brother-in-law, Brandon Hoogendoorn (Jasmine). He also leaves behind many dear nieces and nephews.
Born in Jakarta, Indonesia as a refugee of the Vietnam War, he moved to Canada at 11 months old. Yo grew up and went to school in Chilliwack, making numerous friends, connections, and memories. He was well-known in the community and sold almost everyone in town a TV while working at Future Shop. He later joined the Van Houtte Coffee team and provided coffee services to corporate accounts all across the Fraser Valley.
A talented comedian and the founder and operator of Fraser Valley Comedy, Yo brought laughter and joy to countless lives. Whether performing on stage or lifting the spirits of a friend, Yo’s wit and warmth left a lasting impression. He believed in the healing power of humor and community.
His greatest accomplishment and joy in life was being a ‘girl dad’ to his two daughters, Violet and Stella, and being a husband to his wife, Ashley. He spent all of his free time with his family and took great pride in going on adventures with his kids to all of the parks in Chilliwack. He was full of energy and positivity and always had the most beautiful bright smile.
Yo lived life to the fullest, loved deeply, and laughed often. He taught us how to show up for one another—with kindness, courage, and heart. Though our hearts are broken, we give thanks for the gift of his life and the legacy he leaves behind.
In celebration of Yo's life, a service will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025 at 2pm. Reception to follow.
Main Street Church - 45830 Princess Ave, Chilliwack BC
