Philip Su Memorial Fund

 

As a community, we are mourning the passing of Philip Su at the age of 31 years. On March 1, 2022, we lost a son, brother, friend, and husband. Three days before his passing, he married the love of his life, Jacqueline Sun, and spent the last few days of his life surrounded by his closest friends and family. Philip very unexpectedly passed from complications of covid-19 despite extensive treatment in the intensive care unit and heroic efforts taken by the medical team.

 

Philip was a resident physician who devoted his life to helping others. During the pandemic, he worked on the frontlines directly with patients with covid-19, always completing his toughest rotations in the intensive care unit with compassion and grace. His passion for service extended to medical missions including trips to Belize, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. He was loved by his patients and co-residents; he has touched so many lives in so many ways. Philip’s sweet, caring, and humorous nature made him beloved by all those around him. To know him was to love him.

 

Philip was known to always put his loved ones, community, and patients first, selfless in both his thoughts and actions, filling our lives with so much kindness and warmth. He worked with humility and diligence on the sidelines to make sure we were all happy and taken care of. We miss him so much; his silliness, sideways grin, punny jokes, and food recommendations. We are comforted that Philip is enjoying the bliss of heaven, likely eating a Chipotle bowl and surrounded by loved ones that we all miss dearly.

 

Many of you have asked the best way to help the Su family through these challenging times. Although there are no words to describe the amount of grief we are all experiencing, your thoughts and prayers have provided much-needed comfort. Due to the severity of Philip’s condition and the complex medical care he received, including air ambulance and multiple intensive care unit stays, any monetary gifts would be extremely beneficial to his family at this time. The future hardships and impact on this family’s livelihood will reach far beyond what this campaign might fix, but any amount would help.

 

Please kindly show your support in any way possible. All proceeds will go directly to Philip’s family to help cover funeral and medical expenses. Donations can either be made through GoFundMe or sent directly to Venmo @briealc.
