December 17, 1967 - December 30, 2022

On December 30th, 2022, while on his way to work, Dan Yang Song’s life was suddenly taken by an impaired wrong-way driver on Highway 401.

He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend.

He was born on December 17, 1967, in Dandong, China.

After graduating from university with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, he married his first love in 1992.

Together,they immigrated to Canada in 1999. He worked as a plumber ever since.

Dan Yang was a knowledgeable, hardworking man who was always on-time for work and many of his co-workers saw him as a brother.

He was well-respected by everyone he worked with not only for his excellent plumbing skills, but also for his architectural and design abilities. His co-workers would often describe him as a “math-genius” and “a man who could really eat despite being so skinny.”

Dan Yang worked tirelessly for his family, often staying extra hours at work, working weekends, and would even sometimes work 7 days a week in order to earn that extra bit for his family to lead a better-quality
life.

Because of this lifestyle, he did notreally have much time for vacations. He often told his wife that
after retirement, he would take her to travel around the world.

Dan Yang leaves behind three children who he loved and cared for very much. His main goal in life was to spend quality time with his family, and for them to all lead happy, fulfilling lives.

One of his favourite hobbies was watching TV with his wife and family. Dan Yang is a very cohesive core figure in his circle of friends. During holidays and special events, his friends would always come to Dan Yang’s house to gather. Everyone enjoyed being around his positive and playful personality.

He will live on forever within our hearts.

Thank you to everyone’s donations in Dan Yang’s honour.

Your thoughtfulness and generosity are deeply appreciated by the entire family.

It has made a world of a difference having your support during this difficult time.
