Shaojun (Alex) Pan, a devoted husband and a beloved father of three, passed away in a tragic accident on June 18, 2026.

Working miles away from home, Alex strove to provide a better life for his family. He worked tirelessly as a truck driver, a grueling job that allowed him to return home only once or twice every few weeks. Despite the distance, he made sure to set aside at least 30 minutes every single day to call his family, staying deeply involved in his children's lives.

Just days before Father's Day, on a devastating Thursday morning, Alex's truck overturned during his route. Tragically, he passed away before emergency responders could arrive.

Alex was the financial and emotional backbone of his family. He sacrificed sleep, time, and ultimately his life to support his wife, Salina (Yaxuan), and their three young children: Lisa (17), Maggie (10), and little Eric, who just turned 5.

As Salina (Yaxuan) and the children navigate this profound bereavement, they must also face the heavy financial burdens Alex once carried. With Lisa heading to university this year and the younger children facing a future without their father, Salina is struggling to cover upcoming educational costs and daily living expenses while trying to protect her family's emotional well-being.

Our goal is to support this young family during this incredibly difficult time, easing their financial strain so they can focus on healing. Any donations received from this campaign will go directly to Salina and her family to cover the costs of funeral arrangements, immediate living expenses, and safeguard the children's educational future.

Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and support.
