GONE FISHING FOREVER
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of King, our beloved brother, on Friday, August 16th, 2019. King was born in China, raised in Hong Kong, and went to medical school in Taiwan. He completed his internship in Winnipeg, MB and held his residency in Hamilton, ON and Saskatoon, SK. King became a physician/surgeon in Saskatchewan in 1978 and a fellow of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in 1981. He moved to Moose Jaw in 1979/1980 as a baby/women’s health doctor until his retirement in 2007. He loved his work and made Moose Jaw his home for the friendly people, the beautiful nature, and the tranquil life style. Besides his hard work and long hours, he enjoyed fishing, travelling, cooking, photography and hosting parties for friends. Thank you to the medical team and staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital for making the last months of his life as bearable and comfortable as possible. Special thanks to Dr. Rininsland, Dr. Majid, Dr. Miller, Dr. Cheddie, and all of the nurses who provided exemplary care to him. Thanks to his friends for many visits, prayers and cards.

My condolences to all of the friends and family. I hold the upmost respect for Dr Chan. He delivered both of my children and he was very compassionate and understanding. I still have the picture of him with my kids and his pride showed in the picture. He will be missed by many in Moose Jaw.
King Him,
We’ll remember you as a good doctor.
Rest in peace Uncle Him Sook Sook. Your guidance and company will be missed.
I wish to offer my sincere condolences to the family of Dr. CHAN King Him (陳敬謙) who was a quiet, humble, hardworking student and one of my respected, high school classmates in Hong Kong. My prayers are with Dr. Chan and his family.
Rest in Peace,Dr Chan…….
Our deepest sympathies to Dr. Chan’s family. He was a very caring man who 20+ years after delivering our sons still asked about them when we saw him. He will be truly missed by our community.
King Him is a truly well liked and respected gentleman. His passing will be missed deeply by us.
King Him and I have been friend for over 40 years, dating back to the time that we were classmates in medical school. He is kind and gentle, a wonderful host during my last visit to Moose Jaw. I will surely miss you. My condolences to your family.
Rest In Peace , Dr. Chan
