Obituary
With heavy hearts, the family of Kang-Ching Cheung announces his peaceful passing in Mississauga on October 25th, 2025 at the age of 95. Kang-Ching was a devoted husband to his wife of 60 years, Jane, a loving father to Alex, Magdalene and Peter (Kristi), and a proud grandfather to Nora and Ivy.
elevated 4WFPQ Born in Hong Kong on March 21st, 1930, to Chi-Ying Cheung and King-Fong Leung, Kang-Ching, or K.C. to most, dedicated his life to education. After attending Queen’s College Hong Kong, he went on to Northcote College of Education, where he completed his teacher’s training. He later earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of London and completed further studies at the University of Hull in the UK.
elevated 4WFPQ Throughout his career, K.C. was deeply committed to teaching and mentoring students, many of whom still remember his kindness, patience, and guidance. It was through his career in education where he met the love of his life, Jane Wong, in 1962, when both were working at Yau Ma Tei Government School. Their romance began over a shared love of music – he on his viola and she on the piano. Later on, their joint passion for music led them to ballroom dancing, with the Waltz being K.C.’s favourite step.
elevated 4WFPQ Music remained an important part of K.C.’s life. He found joy in classical music and in playing his violin during his spare time. Even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he continued to take comfort in the familiar melodies he had learned decades earlier.
elevated 4WFPQ In 1986, K.C. and Jane immigrated to Canada with their family, settling in Mississauga. At 58, he began a new chapter as a small-business owner, running Domar Printing & Mailing for over 20 years. K.C. never shied away from a new challenge and stayed active and curious well into his later years.
elevated 4WFPQ Perseverance has always been one of K.C.’s strengths; he took great pride in completing a mile-long swim across Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong in the 1950’s. At the print shop, he would often work until the early hours of the morning to ensure he’s providing the best service possible for every job.
elevated 4WFPQ Outside of work, K.C. enjoyed playing Mahjong with friends and relatives, going to the racetrack, and occasionally testing his luck at the roulette table, where he took great satisfaction in finding his own “system.”
elevated 4WFPQ The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care, who cared for K.C. with compassion and dedication over the past 11 years, keeping him safe through the pandemic and beyond.
elevated 4WFPQ In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Kang-Ching may be made to the Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation and/or to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.

Thank you Christine for your kind thoughts and prayers.
“Cheung Sir”, our Primary 4 Arithmetic teacher at Ellis Kadoorie pm School in Hong Kong patiently explained Compound Interest to a bewildering eight-year-old; 70 years later, he is still remembered for his remarkable compassion, patience and helpful nature.
Since my early adolescent years, he has become my mentor in music, introducing me to the cello, meeting like-minded people in his Poco Orchestra, and nurturing my budding curiosity in philosophical thoughts and other wide-ranging subjects.
His helpfulness to many who had crossed his path was legendary, and he was an inspiration to learn from and put it into practice. He also demonstrated that it’s never too late to start afresh and take on new projects.
I am forever grateful to have met K.C. (“Cheung Sir”), and be able to become his mentee and friend these past 70 years.
Precious Memories Forever to Hold,
3 Cheers to “Cheung Sir”
for another Epic Journey of
Monumental and Heroic Adventures !!!
