Thank you all for the overwhelming support and love over the past couple of days. The comments and stories we've heard just solidifies how much Dad loved to care for people.
Many have asked about service and funeral. The following are details:
Viewing and Service will be on March 6th at Ng Fook Funeral Home. Final viewing and Service will be on March 7th at Ng Fook Funeral Home and burial will be at Kensington Cemetery. Please message us for addresses, times and other details.
We have received a lot of requests to send something in memory of dad, and for condolences.

If you would like to send something for our family, please message me on Facebook so that I can give you my address.
This GoFundMe will be for those who would want to donate instead of sending flowers or gifts. Proceeds will go to a charity and to the family.
If you have any questions, please message. Thank you all for your continued love and support. ❤️
Tribute:
It is with the heaviest of hearts to say that my father, Michael Chao, passed away at 66 - he just turned 66 on 12/14/2020. It has been a rough year for our family and how COVID impacted us. Now, he is with God watching over all of us. God calls the best for his flock. He can now truly do his best work and care for the billions of people on Earth, with God. He was our Angel here on Earth, now he is our Angel in Heaven.
He spent his whole life taking care of his family and his friends. His love for food and travel had no bounds. Regardless of what happened with him personally, he always found a way to help others; always putting others before him. He spent 30 years creating and building his own business to provide a better future for him and his family. 30 years of having clients that became close friends. 30 years of giving opportunities to people he just met and also helping him grow. He never stopped wanting to do better - for himself and for others.
He was a loving father, husband, and most importantly, he was a very caring man. He was never rude or upset with any single person. He may be upset with a situation but never someone. He has taught me a lot and definitely taught me to try to be a better person. I am forever grateful to have such a wonderful father.
While he may not be physically here with us, he is being safe and happy with God. He is making everyone in heaven laugh with his corny jokes and showing everyone the wonderful foods they may not have gotten to enjoy. He can also now travel the places he hasn’t been before, though I am glad that he was able to do so much traveling in the past years. He will be a wonderful addition to God’s graces and family. I love you. I miss you. We love you. We miss you. We will see you soon. May you forever be at peace.

Michael Chao, you were not just a father-in-law, but rather a father. You were not on this Earth to just serve yourself, but to serve others. You are a man, that I will forever look up to. You inspire, you lead, you love, and you shower everyone with so much kindness. Our world has definitely lost one of the greatest souls.
The jokes we made together, no one could understand. Our conversations, your advice, your guidance, our moments of pure happiness - all of it. I’ll cherish it forever. The way you spoiled your family. I’ll never forget it. You never looked at me as a daughter-in-law; I was always your daughter. You didn’t treat me or Matt differently. And for your love, I’ll forever be in debt. For your love, we will all be forever in debt to you.
Our lives will never be the same without you, dad. Our future will never be as bright, now that you’re gone. Holidays, birthdays, no significant eventk in our lives will ever be the same without your shining presence and beautiful smile. We miss you.
We hope that you are sitting with God in Heaven right now, eating all the food your heart desires (he loved porkbelly and chashu pork!) and watching over our entire family - blessing us, guiding us - just as you have done when you were here on Earth.
Everything feels gloomy right now, but I know we will meet again one day in Heaven. Until then, this isn’t a goodbye - it’s a see you later. See you later dad. I love you. Rest In Power and Peace, our sweet Angel.
