In Lieu of Flowers

Chris believed in building a better world, and one of the causes he supported passionately was EPIC Homes.
EPIC empowers communities through sustainable housing and was a project Chris deeply admired and supported.
In memory of Chris, we kindly ask that, instead of flowers, you consider making a donation to EPIC Home, a cause that was close to his heart.
Your generosity will help continue the work that meant so much to him, and will honour his spirit in a meaningful way.
You can donate directly via the EPIC Homes website (https://epichome.org/).

A loving brother always giving warmth and care so his sister always had a smile on her face while telling us stories back in the days or a family trip in Hong Kong. I have not met you many times Chris, but I very much see you are deeply loved by your family and will always be.
I am so shocked and saddened by your sudden departure Chris.
I have known you to be always positive, always beaming with a smile as a thoughtful co-worker and as a wonderful Christian friend who bore good witness to your faith. Your trust in the Lord in the most difficult circumstances of your life journey was an inspiration and encouragement to me. I am sure you have also touched the life of many people and friends around you, and this memory and legacy will certainly live on. Miss you bro - will see you in Heaven someday!
Chris, Remembering those joyful childhood times at your parents' place in Bukit Timah. The soccer matches and Apple computer games we played....those fun-filled memories will forever be etched in my mind...
Your kind and humble nature will always be how I'd remember you..
Your departure was just too sudden...
Yet, while I didn't have a chance to say goodbye, I look forward to our meeting again in heaven, where eternal life reigns..
Till then, thank you for your brotherly friendship & kinship. And may the Lord continue to keep watch over your family....
I was deeply saddened to hear of Chris' passing. I'll always remember Chris for his radiant smiles, his gentle spirit and those incredibly kind eyes that made everyone feel seen. My heart aches for his family during this painful time. Sending Cathy, Uncle, Auntie, Carolyn, Karen and all the family so much love and strength during this difficult time.
Chris, you were one of the first friends I made in Chinese Church ‘90. Thank you for turning around to talk to me while we were queueing up for tea. You were sweet, big-hearted and always with a ready smile that you instantly put this nervous newcomer at ease. I’m sorry we lost touch after London, but I do often think of you whenever I see people being rude in restaurants. Because many years ago in a Mexican cantina in Holland Village, you charmed the wait staff with your easygoing banter and showed me that kindness and self-deprecation always wins. You’ve left an indelible mark and I’m grateful to have known you. Till we meet again.
Chris was the kindest and gentlest of souls- just the most thoughtful person who always made time for everyone and went out of his way to help others. I count myself privileged to have shared a close friendship with him during our London days, and shall forever treasure in my heart, those very happy memories of hanging out together…late night chats, car rides, celebration team, church camp etc. Thank you for those good times Chris, and for being a real gem of a friend. You will never be forgotten xx
So many childhood memories flooded back. Family trips to Fraser's Hill. Late night kids games while our parents played mahjong. Later on, seeing you in London. Seeing you in SF last year and meeting Cathy and the girls. Seemed like you would always be there. Until you were not. Rest well, old friend. I will miss your easy radiance, your friendship and kindness.
Dear Chris your passing has robbed the world of a remarkable person. Your family and friends will be devastated by your loss but can take comfort in the person you were and the legacy you leave behind. My sincerest condolences to your family and fiends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Chris, you will be missed. You have left behind you a great legacy. A loving family, a hoarde of wonderful friends and memories everyone will cherish for a lifetime. You were beyond extraordinary and this world is a darker place without your generous heart and smile. I have no fear though. Knowing you, your wife and daughters will carry on making this world a better place as you did for all. Rest in peace.
We miss you uncle Jin. Love you always, Olivia (Molly the cat and Maui the crazy dog too!) 😍
