Kui Jing Chan Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Steven Kui Jing Chan, 72, was born in Canton China, and passed away in Honolulu on December 8, 2017. He is survived by his son Jerry, daughter Judy; sisters Veronica, Julia, and Gloria; granddaughter Dannielle. His greatest passion involved cooking – and he’d be mindful of what everyone’s favorite dishes were and be sure to cook it for you. Steven spent much of his career at Wailana Coffee House and worked every major holiday serving delicious meals to tourists and locals, while most families would be feasting at home. He made sure you were always well fed and even delivered to you, just like his own Mom and Dad did. That’s how he shared his aloha with others, through his cooking. He’d always cook special meals for his sister Julia, even peeling oranges and removing vines from grapes, ensuring it’d be ready for her to eat anytime. When he wasn’t working at Nam Fong restaurant, he’d visit his friends and neighbors in Chinatown, often talking story and dropping off goodies to everyone. He absolutely loved Chinese food, would probably eat it all day, but occasionally would enjoy some Korean food too. Steven loved Las Vegas, and traveled several times a year. He enjoyed gambling, eating at the Chinese noodle restaurants, and getting long massages while in Vegas. In recent years, he really enjoyed visiting his daughter Judy and granddaughter Dannielle in Washington. He was always so proud of Dannielle, and especially as she will be graduating from college in Spring 2018. Our family will miss him dearly, especially his generous heart. Services will be held at Oahu Cemetery on Thursday, December 28, 2017. Visitation 10:00am; Service 11:30am.
