Nicky Pik-Yan Chan
elevated Xpdf8 Nicky Pik-Yan Chan was born in Hong Kong on March 15, 1973, to Pak Lok Ho (father) and Mui Kwan Ho (mother), and passed away in Toronto, Ontario at the age of 48, after a courageous 4-year battle with breast cancer. She is survived by her husband, Kelvin; her two children, Tyler and Arianna; her elder sister, Becky Ho; and her younger brother, Sylvester Ho.
elevated Xpdf8 Nicky grew up in Hong Kong, and studied high school at the Methodist College. She completed her university degree at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, where she met and eventually married her college sweetheart, Kelvin.
elevated Xpdf8 Nicky was ahead of her time with degrees in Environmental Studies and Data Programming. Very relevant in today’s world, her education served her well during her career at Rogers Communications for over 10 years. She was well-respected by her colleagues for her talent, dedication, and positive attitude.
elevated Xpdf8 Nicky was sweet and kind, a gentle personality who seldom had a negative thing to say about anyone or anything. She was always modest and enjoyed the simple things in life, even though some of her favorite passions were eating, travelling, and window-shopping. At the top of her list was her family and for her children to thrive, to be healthy, happy, and to live into their full potential. Her biggest smiles were reserved for their successes, though she never bragged about her children, and despite her pride in them being exceptionally good and bright.
elevated Xpdf8 Nicky was a loyal wife and friend; easy to talk to, easy to be with. Her courage, personal strength, and uncomplaining spirit will be long-remembered and cherished by her entire extended family and her friends, in Canada and across the globe.

Hi Kelvin, Tyler and Arianna,
I’m Kwing Wah Chan (Henry), Nicky’s uncle from Sydney Australia. We meet in May 2017, that was the first and unfortunately last since 1992.
It was lovely to catch up and touch bases after so many years. Then Nicky told me she was sick probably by October the same year, I was really shocked.
Since then, I contacted her regularly, she was a real fighter with all the positive attitude towards her sickness. She stopped message me from 20th Aug 2021and I knew something went wrong.
It is because of the COVID, I can’t give my condolences in person, my prayer is with your family.
We’ll definitely meet in future, either in Toronto or Sydney, be in touch and take good care!
