Kevin, I still can’t believe you’re gone.
Even though we didn’t talk often and it had been a while since we last saw each other, you always remained a part of our family. I would often ask about you and how you were doing.
I still remember our family trip to San Diego and staying at your place like it was yesterday. You welcomed all of us with open arms, invited us into your home, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. You took us out, showed us around, and made sure we had a great time together. Another memory was a night spent with you and the rest of the cousins, laughing, hanging out, enjoying the nightlife, and creating memories that felt like they would last forever. It’s incredible how quickly time passes.
Through the years, you always made me feel like family, and that’s something I’ll never forget. I won’t forget your phone calls.
To me, you were never just my brother’s best friend, you were family.
May you rest in peace, Kevin. 🤍
30 years of friendship at my fingertips, this is so difficult to type. Procastinating, last minute, and I really don't want to do it. But as a friend who was always absent, this is the only thing I can do from the other side of the world.
You were a crazy person. The serious warning you got at school for asking if Mr Wong (yes, we all knew it was Mr Leung) from computer class was married. The foot you put in Sin Yee's mouth (or was it Sunny?). Brother Sid's incident will stay with me, don't you worry.
You almost got us kicked out of the British Museum. You let me teach you how to style your hair for the first time. The latest iPod mini you brought me from the States. The clubbing in London. How tempted you were by those "special bars." Those funky shops.
God, those were fun. Until we looked up and realised we were already in our mid-lives, each carrying our own weight on opposite sides of the world, but the fun lived on with gravity.
Then I got to know your childhood insecurities, the plain white sneakers, the bus rides, the loneliness. That night at the park, our Jinro cocktail mixed from 7-11 garbage, I thought there would be more. Now only that one lasts.
You wrapped everything in your humor, and became "daddy's funny friend" of my girls.
Then it stopped. Aren't you supposed to move back in a few years?
That's not a proper goodbye.
Till we meet again.

Dear Kevin,
Thank you so much for sharing with me, at the end of last year, so many wonderful photos of your travels with your beloved mother. Through those pictures, I could see the sweetness, happiness, and joy that you shared together, and it was truly touching.
You also told me that you wanted to be even better to your dear mother and give her a happier and more joyful life. I still remember how proudly and happily you said that your mother is still very beautiful! 🥰🙏
You are not only a devoted and loving son, but also a sincere, kind-hearted, and responsible young man and brother in Christ. It has been a blessing for me to know you, and I thank God for that.
I will miss you very much. Until that day, when we meet again in the presence of the Lord. Amen!

I am not sure how to process this. I can still clearly hear your voice in my head. You impacted so many lives, you helped me so much when I was in San Diego. I remembered that I casually approached you in bayside at SSC when I saw your 'Love is for fools' t-shirt, and started an amazing friendship that lasted up until this point. Most people you meet at work end contact when you leave that workplace, but with you, we stayed in touch...for as long as we could. Thank you for everything that you did, I don't know when I can finally accept this reality, but I know I will miss you very much.
I’m grateful to have known you and to have shared all these great memories together. Our college night time volleyball matches, our old tea house adventures, late night talks and studies, our San Jose night out and even our 2004 spring break LA trip. All these memories and laughters we have shared together will never be forgotten. Rest in peace in God’s loving embrace my dear Fat.
The dance that we went together, the food that we shared together, the trips that we went together… all the silly laughs….
