Story
In loving memory of Patrick Lau
With deep heartbreak and disbelief, we share the sudden passing of our father, Patrick Lau.
Patrick was a father of four—two adult children, and two young boys who remain in Qingdao, China with their mother. He was a brother, a businessman, a connector of people, and a charismatic friend whose warmth and energy filled every room he entered. His loss has left an unimaginable void in all of our lives.
This fundraiser was created not only to help us lay him to rest with the care and dignity he deserves, but to support the two young sons he’s left behind. Our hope is to ease the financial burden as their mother faces the immense challenge of starting over and adjusting to life without him.
It still doesn’t feel real. We always think there will be more time—that we’ll talk tomorrow, plan next week, or say what needs to be said later. But sometimes that time never comes.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this, and for any donation, share, or message of support. Every gesture, big or small, helps carry us through this overwhelming time.
Rest peacefully, Dad.
You are loved endlessly, and missed beyond words.
