Died December 5, 2020 at the age of 81. He was born in Hong Kong to Yip, Kai Wan and Leung, Choy Har. He courageously moved to Canada and became a proud citizen in 1979. Man Chan will be remembered with love by his wife of 40 years, Susan, daughters Virginia and Florence, son-in-law’s Mike and Tim & grandson’s Noah and Mathias.

Man Chan worked very hard his entire life, at times working multiple jobs, to provide for his family. Man Chan’s faith was his guiding light, he was a man of truth, honor and love. Man Chan was a parishioner at St. Francis Xavier Church where he also volunteered. In his later years he developed a passion for singing Chinese opera, and he often visited with friends at his local S.U.C.C.E.S.S, where he was a member. We love him and he will always be in our hearts.

Tony passed away on the 30th June 2020, at the age of 82. After several months of declining health, he passed away peacefully, with his beloved partner Joyce King by his side.

Tony was born in Leeds, UK on the 28th August 1937, the youngest child to parents John and Sylvia Pratt. He is survived by his sister Shirley whom he holidayed with many times with their families. They discovered most of the Greek Islands together.

Tony met his wife of 53 years Joyce Bottomley through the Burley Methodist Church and they married in 1961 after a long courtship whilst Tony completed his National Service in the RAF. Unfortunately, Joyce predeceased him in 2015.

He is survived by partner, Joyce, two children; Stuart John (Jayne) and Debra Suzanne (Neil), grandchildren; Freya, Toby, Ben and Katie and countless extended family. All held him in the highest regard and loved him dearly.

He was an adventurer and loved the outdoors having climbed most of the Wainwrights in the Lake District and some high ones in the Alps including the Jungfrau. He also loved sailing and windsurfing and introduced many friends and family to the love of the water. Tony was a volunteer Venture Scout leader and whilst as a leader he discovered a passion for skiing, which took over his life for the next 30 years. As a family, they joined the Lions Ski Club, where Tony as mentor to his children took them all over the UK ski racing. He was chair of the club and for many years helped to organise ski holidays in Europe.

He worked most of his life in Insurance for Commercial Union where he was known as John Pratt, retiring in 1997. For the next 15 years they took full advantage of retirement and traveled all over the world until it became too much for his wife Joyce who he then cared for until her passing.

Still with a sense of adventure he resumed his travels, especially on cruise liners, where he met his partner Joyce, a Canadian, and for the next few years they enjoyed life together and then at the age of 81 he moved to Canada to be with her. A true adventurer to the end!

Kesavan Ashokkumar, son of Ashokkumar and Sugirtha, was born on April 16, 1986. He lived his life in India, Sri Lanka, Montreal and Vancouver, Canada. Kesavan was loved globally. He was known as a son, older brother, boyfriend, fiancé, best-friend, leader, cousin, grandson, and nephew. Kesavan’s family describes him as the biggest gift, as he was known for his kind, warm, loving heart, and was recognized as the most caring person in the family. His siblings; Akilaa and Kiran looked up to Kesavan as a role-model and a warrior that protected his family under his wings. Undeniably, he was confident and always set the bar high to positively think and overcome difficult situations. Most people knew Kesavan had the capacity to be serious, driven, and motivated to get tasks done and ensure that his family and himself are stable physically, mentally, financially, socially and emotionally. However, those whom knew Kesavan more on a deeper level often described him as a roasted marshmallow; being rough and tough on the outside, and soft, mushy and warm on the inside. Some words his family shares is that he would do anything to see his family smile and laugh. He was giving, wise, social, selfless, and accepting of anyone he loved. He always ensured that everyone was included. One aspect that Kesavan’s family mutually loved was his unremarkable and memorable laugh. For example, he always found joy in the smallest things; sometimes even his own joke at times, which made the room he was in more joyful.

Regardless of how old he got, Kesavan’s family all agree he was young at heart. He was the eldest cousin and brother, but his spirit never aged. His joy, love, passion, compassion, excitement and humour was endearing and quite contagious. Kesavan never looked at himself as belonging to a particular age group and often found ways to blend with his family, friends, and loved ones. Without a doubt he bonded with everyone. The bond would be nurtured through common ground like his love for sports, travel, marvel, cars, shoes, jerseys, kothoroti, as well as his own life experiences and triumphs. Even if there is no common ground he will always find a way to strike up a conversation to help you feel belonged.

Kesavan lead by example not by words. He taught us that family is first. He also taught us how to be driven and self-accepting of who you are, and what you are capable of. He showed us what it meant to live, love, and cherish every given moment. He was taken too young, but his legacy, lessons, and life will never be forgotten. We love you forever and always. May you Rest In Peace, Kesavan. June 22nd, 2020.
