Kouichi Asano, M.D., passed away peacefully on June 18, 2022, at the age of 90. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Marjorie of over 61 years, daughter Janet (Tracy) of North Vancouver, son David (Masuyo) of Nagano, Japan, as well as his four grandsons, Kieran, Shane, Taka and Aki.
After graduating from the Tokyo University Medical School, Kouichi moved to Seattle to complete his internship, then immigrating to Vancouver and practicing family medicine for many years.
An avid fisherman, Kouichi enjoyed being out on the ocean in his boat and, during the autumn months, hunting for matsutake mushrooms in his secret spots in the forest.
Kouichi's gentle kindness, determination, and strength of character will forever be an inspiration.
