Andrew Tan
elevated WpkSl It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew Tan. God called Andy back home on Thursday December 23, 2021. He is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Christina Tan, loving children Christopher (Terri) and Danny, adoring granddaughters, Kaitlyn and Chloe, and devoted brothers Alfred, Terry (Sharon) and sisters, Helen and Ai Lee.
elevated WpkSl Andy loved helping others and bringing people together. He welcomed everyone into his home and shared his love with all. He always went out of his way to help those whom he knew. Ever ready with his tools, he even offered his handyman talents while on vacations. In summers, he ensured that the backyard bbqs welcomed his friends and their families with prime rib steaks which we will never forget. During the holidays, no one can forget his epic Christmas parties that brought together so many friends and family in celebration. He leaves us with the life lesson to always be kind to others.
elevated WpkSl He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all his family and friends. Until we meet again, may he be enjoying the cottage life and fishing with the Lord. May he enjoy rest in eternal peace.

My deepest sympathies to the family. While I never had the good fortune to meet Mr. Tan, I too experienced his generosity when I visited Toronto a few years ago. I am sure that he was a good man as the evidence is in his son, Danny with whom I have been friends for over 20 years, another good man. The father has left his mark on the sons. May you weather the grief and loss with grace.
I will always remember all the kindness Uncle Andy gave me since I was a teenager. He was, in many ways, a second dad to me.
My heart goes to Auntie Christina, Chris, Terri and Danny for their loss.
May he Rest in Peace.
