Wayne Chan

1932- 2022

Wayne Chan, July 1932 - January, 2022, was born to a Christian family from the Guangdong

Province of China. His father and mother were third generation Christians who loved the Lord.

Wayne grew up in Hong Kong in a large family which consisted of four brothers and one sister.

He excelled in sports and represented Hong Kong in the 1952 Asian Olympic Games held in

Manila, Philippines. He held track and field records for almost 40 years at Pui Ching High School,

a famous Baptist school in Hong Kong. He was called the "Asian Tarzan" by local newspapers

because of his athletic prowess.

Wayne left Hong Kong to further his studies at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada.

He eventually settled in the Metropolitan Detroit Michigan area where he eventually married

and raised three loving sons.

Wayne honored God all his life. He loved his family and his church deeply. Wayne was a very

humble, gentle, kind and considerate person. His selfless love and personality won the praise

of those who knew him. People respected and loved Wayne for his faithfulness in serving the

Lord. He has indeed left beautiful footprints in the lives of those he met. He faithfully served as

Elder at the Chinese Bible Church in Michigan for 59 years.

In recent years, Wayne and his wife, moved to California to live with their youngest son. He

enjoyed the beautiful SF Bay area weather, cultural diversity, authentic Chinese food and trips

to the ocean. In January 2022, he unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord with his loving

wife and youngest son by his side.

He will be remembered for his love of family and church, his sense of humor and his

humbleness. He is survived by Betty, his loving wife of 60+ years, sons Dan, Jeff and Joe along

with their families and six loving grandchildren.
