It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Soon Lee, a devoted husband, father, and friend, who departed this life on December 20, 2024 at the age of eighty-three.
Known affectionately as “Pops”, Pops was the beloved husband of Jeannie, with whom he shared a life filled with love and unwavering partnership. He was a proud and caring father to his two daughters, Jennifer (Chris) and Colleen, who were the light of his life.
Born in Malaysia, Pops later spent years living in Trinidad and Tobago, New York City and finally, Toronto where he settled with Jeannie and raised his two girls.
A man of quiet strength and determination, Pops will be remembered for his smile, kind heart, steadfast dedication to his family, and his ability to bring warmth and comfort to those around him. He will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered.
Pops lived his life the best he knew and left this earth wishing that his children will continue to find joy and safety in this world. While their hearts mourn the loss, they take comfort knowing he is now with Mom and their beloved dog, Charlie.
The family of Pops wishes to thank the team of 4D at Scarborough Health Network – Birchmount Hospital and the Palliative Care team at Toronto Grace Health Centre for their compassion, support and care for Pops. The family also wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the Baggeley family for their support of Pops and Mom over the years. Their generosity will always be appreciated.
A memorial and reception service will be held in Pops’ honour at Highland Funeral Home – Scarborough Chapel on January 5, 2025 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm.
