It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of dad, Hoy Kuey Ken Jay. Born on December 16th, 1928 in Kaiping (Hoy Ping), Win Hon Lay, Guangdong, China and passed on Monday, September 5th, 2016 at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia. Dad passed away peacefully in the early afternoon with family by his side.
Survived by his beloved wife, Helen, his children Suzanne Jay (Mark Wickstead), Raymond Jay, Nancy Jay (Shawn Jones), Edmond Jay (Laura Scott) and Norman Jay (Caroline Hu). He dearly loved and will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Emma Dang, Abigale Jay, Christopher Jay, Madeline Jay, Katherine Jay and Hana Jay.
During his fight against acute myeloid leukemia, dad spent many hours with the wonderful nurses, doctors, clerks, and ancillary staff at St. Paul's Hospital. He was truly appreciative of the amazing work and care they provided him during his many medical visits. This, plus the immeasurable amount of blood-related products that he was given during his short battle with this cancer, is the reason that we would like to ask those that would like to express their condolences for our loss or to celebrate dad's life to make donations to either the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation or the Canadian Blood Services, in lieu of flowers or gifts.
Please join us to remember dad on Sunday September 25, 2016. Drop-in anytime from 2PM-5PM at the Fraserview Golf Course Clubhouse, 7800 Vivian Drive, Vancouver, BC.
