Help Honor the Life of Herman “Chong” Francis Joseph III

Hi, my name is Antonius, and I’m creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my family in loving memory of my brother, Herman Francis Joseph III, affectionately known as “Chong.”

Born on January 1st, 1975 in Tacoma, WA, Chong was the definition of a generous soul. He was a true family man — kind, loyal, and always ready to help anyone in need. If you needed it, he would literally give you the shirt off his back, no questions asked.

Chong was the oldest of five siblings, a protector and leader in our family. He leaves behind two children and a granddaughter whom, heartbreakingly, he will never have the chance to meet.

We are raising funds to help with funeral and memorial expenses so we can honor his life the way he deserves. Any support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or a prayer — means the world to our family during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for helping us celebrate and say goodbye to a man who gave so much while asking for so little.

With gratitude,

Antonius & Family
