Henry Kai-Hon Wong
May 1949 - April 25, 2022
We are sad to announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Henry Kai-Hon Wong, who entered into the arms of his Heavenly Father on April 25, 2022 at age 72.
Henry was born in Kowloon, Hong Kong in 1949 to Rose Yeung and Jeffrey Wong. He grew up with his sister Virginia. He loved music from a young age and moved to Canada in 1968 to continue his schooling. As he got older, his love for learning increased and he received micro-computer training. He enjoyed gadgets, technology, and upgrading computers. Henry was resourceful & creative. He loved Jesus and wanted others to know & understand His love for them as well. He was a charter member of Edmonton Chinese Alliance Church (ECAC). He humbly served his church and ministered to others through music and technology.
During high school, Henry met Sylvia while singing together in a church choir. They fell in love and got married in Edmonton, Alberta. They started a family and had 4 children, Gloria, Edward, Anita, & Connie, and Henry worked hard to provide for them. As a family, they spent summers going on road trips, camping & enjoying the outdoors. Henry was a loving, kind, and dependable husband & father. Henry prayed faithfully for his family and friends, and leaving a legacy of faith was of utmost importance to him. Henry had a calming, easygoing presence & a wonderful sense of humor. He enjoyed making people laugh with his different impersonations.
In addition to his wife Sylvia & children (Gloria, Edward, Anita, & Connie), Henry is survived by his sons-in-law Red (Martin) Tufts, Jeremy Smith, & Paul Gerbrandt, & daughter-in-law Grace (Min) Zhang, as well as his eleven grandchildren (Callie, Zane, Ella, & Jude Smith; Isabel, Eliana, Zoe, & Zanna Gerbrandt; Dakota & Emily Tufts; & Avery Wong), and his sister Virginia & brother-in-law Wai-Wing Chan.
A private viewing and funeral service will be held on May 3 for close family & friends.
