I was deeply saddened to hear of Angus’s passing.

I remember him not only as a student, but as someone who brought sincerity, focus and quiet determination to his playing. There was always a sense that he approached music with care and intention and that stayed with me long after our lessons ended.

Over the years, it’s been clear that he built a truly full and meaningful life devoted to his family, grounded in his work and enriched by his experiences.  Knowing he shared that life with his wife Jennifer and boys Owen and Liam speaks to the kind of person he was: steady, thoughtful and deeply committed to the people he loved.

It’s never easy to make sense of a loss like this, especially when someone still had so much to give.  But there is something lasting in the life he created, in the family he raised and in the quiet impressions he left on those who knew him even in small chapters, like the time we shared through music.

Please know that I am thinking of you and holding your family in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Angus, my dear nephew, words cannot describe how I am feeling right now.  I will miss your quiet and gentle personality, your bright smile, and the words of you calling me Siu Yook Yee with your lovely smile. You are a very talented violin player and you have shown that by being on the newspaper at a very young age, and it was such a proud and unforgettable  moment. 

Always in our hearts and loved.

Angus is the rare example of both talent and humility in equal measure. We know Angus as cerebral and measured in the way he approached life. He did not need to be the loudest person in the room to leave an impression. Angus had a calm presence and an even temperament, making whatever he did seem grounded and deliberate. 

He was a very skilled hockey player, a talented musician, and our ringer for any trivia competition. He was the first in our group to take a keen interest in cycling, eventually assembling a bike himself. 
Angus excelled at anything he put his mind to, but there was no showiness to him. He approached all he did with intelligence, care, and thoughtfulness. He had an understated confidence and that he didn’t need to show or prove to anyone.

He had a quick wit - the kind that would catch you off guard in the best way. It was never forced, just sharp and perfectly timed. No one could select a more perfect GIF than Angus. That wit was part of what made being around him such a pleasure. Right after he delivers his punchline, he would just smile and patiently wait while your brain catches up.

One of the clearest reflections of who he was can be seen in his family. Together with Jennifer - raising Owen, Liam - two very strong, intelligent boys. They reflect a great deal about the person Angus was. Raising children with intelligence and character requires patience, steadiness, and deep care. All qualities Angus had.

There are some people who are remembered for grand gestures, and others who do it more quietly - through consistency, strength of character, and the example they set every day. That is Angus: Quiet. Steady. Thoughtful. Capable. Deeply respected.

Angus, you were a central part of everything we did together, and represent the collective best of us. What started as a hockey team that you captained, is a brotherhood, a family, and a collective bond that will never be broken. “Rest easy my friend, you're just on an earlier flight than us.”

Angus was a type of person that everyone might learn a lot from.  He has had the heart of an  angel and a love that brightly shone.  His strength and confidence with a smile were always there, he was quiet though.
I am much grateful to have Angus as a friend of mine, always.  He will be dearly missed…..

Angus was such a kind and inspiring soul. In all the years of playing music together, his quiet reassurance, gentle smile, and warm welcomes are what will stay with me the most. I will miss him dearly as my colleague, my stand partner, my co leader, my fellow musician and my friend.

Angus, my younger cousin of just 2 years. The countless memories and family gatherings we had.  I fondly remember the first few years of our lives. Almost inseparable. We spent almost every weekend or other weekend together.  Riding bikes playing hockey, Chinese school(meh).  Even riding bikes from Vancouver to Richmond with Albert after you moved. All the hockey talk with your dad and our Uncle John.  Sleepovers. Just innocent boys with no care. As we grew older and went our own ways, I regret I never have a chance to tell you how proud I am of all your accomplishments. They say you should always leave this world a better place and you truly have. I will always  cherish all the memories of our huge happy family.  Much love and deepest condolences.

A wonderful memory of ours was going to see Angus play Vivaldi's Four Seasons at the Chan Centre. It was such a beautiful concert and now when we hear the famous piece, we immediately think of him. Thank you for sharing your music with us and the world, Angus. We will miss you very much.

Angus was my one and only violin teacher for many years. He taught me to play music for myself and to find the joy in playing music for others. I'll always remember his patience and quiet composure. 

Thank you Angus for all the great memories and thank you for being an incredible role model.

I remember when Angus would put on his hockey helmet, he made a “bshhhhhh” sound, imitating the hiss of some sort of machine. He was a great captain, a leader with quiet confidence, and I’ll always think of him anytime I put on a hockey helmet.

Holding you in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept our deepest condolences.
Your cousin

I played with Angus in my first orchestral experience, and we shared a stand. I was 14 and he was 19, and he was so kind to me, and showed me the ropes and made me feel less like I didn't know what I was doing. Over the years until I moved away from Vancouver in 2009 we would still play periodically together in orchestras as well as in a chamber group. I remember chatting to him about his then girlfriend, and how happy I was to hear that she became his wife and they had 2 beautiful children. It goes without saying that if you choose to continue to play with someone for almost 2 decades, you treasure their friendship and company as well as musicianship. I'm so sad to hear of Angus' passing. What a loss before his time. Thinking of his family.

My deepest condolences to the family. Hope all the memories of him could heal the pain.
