Lester is survived by his partner of over 35 years, Kimmy Chiu, his son, Ryan Lee, daughter, Andrea Lee, stepson Kevin Chiu, and his grandchildren, Sebastian Lee and Joshua Lee.
Born in Hong Kong on March 14, 1942, Lester immigrated to Vancouver in 1966, where he later married and started a family. He always kept in close touch with his siblings, cousins and friends in Hong Kong, and traveled back often to visit.
A loving partner, father and grandfather, Lester found immense joy in his later years traveling the world with Kimmy. He will be remembered for his smile, friendly disposition, and his love of a good deal.
A viewing is scheduled for June 1st at Ocean View Funeral Home. His inurnment will take place on June 5th at Ocean View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, we ask instead that you donate to a Tribute Fund set up in his name with the S.U.C.C.E.S.S Foundation, an organization that helps bridge and connect Canadian and Chinese societies, offering help to recent immigrants. Resources like S.U.C.C.E.S.S. were not available when Lester arrived in Vancouver, yet he was able to accomplish many things on his own. We are very proud of him.
We hope with your generosity, that we support the next Lester Lee in his or her journey. To donate online, go to:
