Wayne Wai Ning Chan

Our loving brother, Wayne Wai Ning Chan, born May 3, 1966 in Hong Kong, passed away on June 28, 2022 at the young age of 56. Having survived a devastating stroke in 2019 and two cases of Covid, he retained his sense of humor and carried himself with dignity and grace. He leaves behind his three sisters and two brothers.

Wayne immigrated with his mom and two sisters to the United States at age 3 and spent his childhood and adult life in the historic town of Locke located along the Sacramento Delta. He loved being an uncle to his many nieces and nephews and would regale them with his stories about the practice of Tai Chi, the cats of Locke, and his interest in NASCAR racing. One of the most important roles that he assumed with love and dedication was to take care of our mom, Yin Kwan Chan, until her passing in 2017. We will always be grateful for his sacrifice and commitment to ensuring that she was well cared for in her own home.

Wayne will be missed greatly by his family and friends who takes solace in knowing that he has reunited with his grandfather, mom, sister, and other ancestors.
