Kai Chuen Kam 甘介川

Kai Chuen Kam, a beloved figure in the hearts of many, passed away on January 5, 2025, in Vancouver, where he had touched countless lives with his passion for teaching and art. Born on May 15, 1931, in Shun-Tak, Kai was not only a devoted teacher of English but also a passionate instructor of calligraphy at Vancouver's Chinese Cultural Centre. His dedication to education and the arts was evident throughout his long career, as he inspired students to appreciate the beauty of language and the elegance of written form.

A hardworking and diligent individual, Kai Chuen lived a life characterized by simplicity yet filled with profound achievements. His artistic talents shone brightly, culminating in the publication of his calligraphy artwork in 2008. He held numerous exhibitions showcasing his work, sharing his artistry with a community that deeply admired his creative spirit. His proudest accomplishment came when he was featured on a Fairchild TV in Vancouver, a recognition that affirmed the beauty and impact of his artistry.

Beyond his career, Kai Chuen found joy as a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. He loved to listen to Western Classical music and appreciated Classical Chinese poetry. He not only dedicated his life to Chinese calligraphy, but he was very fond of photography. His personality—the blend of hard work and down-to-earth sincerity—left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege to know him.

Kai Chuen is survived by his son Raymond and many more relatives, who will forever cherish the memories of his warmth, kindness, and dedication. He is preceded in death by the love of his life, Tam Ling, whose presence he missed dearly. Their bond was a testament to lasting companionship, and together they created a legacy of love and commitment that continues to inspire those left behind.

A Funeral Service will be held in honor of Kai Chuen Kam on January 21, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM at Olympic Village, Vancouver. Friends and family are invited to gather and celebrate the remarkable life of a man who not only dedicated himself to his profession and art but also to the people around him. His legacy of teaching, artistry, and love will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege to be part of his journey.
