Cyril Thong

July 12, 2020

It is with great sadness that the family of Cyril How Sik Thong announces his passing.  Cyril had been battling pancreatic cancer since February 2020, and passed peacefully at Royal Columbian Hospital on Sunday, July 12, 2020 at the age of 73.

Cyril was a Senior Lecturer in the Biology department at Simon Fraser University for the majority of his life, touching the lives of tens of thousands of first year Biology students, some of whom became the wonderful doctors and nurses that took care of him while he was at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Cyril will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Christina and his children Jennifer (Kevin), and Leonard (Tina).  Cyril will also be fondly remembered by his 3 grandchildren, Alex, Kaiya, and Kaylee, and by his elder siblings, June, Tony, and Anne as well as his nieces and nephews in Singapore and Australia.

The family has chosen to forgo funeral services and those who desire may make memorial donations in memory of Cyril, to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.


You are invited to leave a personal message for the family.
