It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle on December 4, 2021. At age 92, he remained very healthy until his last week, succumbing to cardiovascular disease. He will be sadly missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, family members and friends.
Shun was born on August 18, 1929, in Zhongshan, Guangdong province of China. He married his beloved wife of 57 years in Hong Kong, where they started their family. He and his family immigrated to the US, arriving in San Francisco, California, in 1975. Shun later obtained his culinary certification from the San Francisco Chinese Association.
In 1980, he brought his culinary and entrepreneurial spirit to Tucson, Arizona, to open their family restaurant, The Magic Wok.
After retiring from his culinary career in 1992, he and his wife spent their time traveling between states to support their children and family however they were needed. Shun continued to live a life celebrating his love of culinary arts, traveling with his family, and watching his children and grandchildren grow up.
