It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and tragic passing of our beloved father, Hon Cuong Quach.
On May 13th, 3:30PM my father, Hon Cuong Quach, was tragically ran over by a elderly driver who suffered a diabetic attack. He was rushed to the Elmhurst Hospital where they tried to resuscitate him, but eventually he succumbed to cardiac failure, and pronounced him deceased ~4:30PM.
Often times I see online people tell us to cherish these moments with our parents because they will not be here forever, and in a blink of an eye they will be gone before we know it. I never thought too much about it since, I didn't think such a tragedy would ever occur. I really thought he would've been here longer, long enough to see my wedding, long enough for him to see my children.
One of my fondest memories of him was also one of my earliest. I remember I saw my dad reading his newspaper, and as a wee lad I decided to imitate him. I don't know why, but it's always a memory that has stuck with me. He was also the sole provider for the family. He meant so much to us and his memory will forever be with us, and now it feels like a big piece of our hearts are missing.
I want to now be able to provide him with a dignified exit and give him a good funeral as he would have wanted. We are aksing for support to cover the funeral and burial expenses at this time. Any contribution, no matter the amount would mean so much to our family. If you are unable to give, please help us share this message to others. Thank you for the support, love and compassion during this time.
我们怀着沉痛的心情，宣告我们挚爱的父亲——郭汉雄（Hon Cuong Quach）的突然离世。
5月13日下午3时30分，我的父亲郭汉雄不幸被一名突发糖尿病发作的老年司机撞倒。他被紧急送往埃尔姆赫斯特医院，医护人员竭力对他进行急救，但最终他因心脏衰竭而离世，于下午约4时30分被宣告不治。
我常在网上看到有人告诉我们要珍惜与父母相处的时光，因为他们终有一天会离开，转眼间便会消失在我们眼前。我从未认真想过这些话，因为我从未想过这样的悲剧会降临在我身上。我真的以为他还会陪伴我们更久，久到能见证我的婚礼，久到能看见我的孩子们。
在我对他最深刻的记忆中，有一段也是最早的记忆。我记得小时候看到爸爸在读报纸，年幼的我便学着他的样子模仿起来。不知为何，这个画面始终留在我心中，挥之不去。他也是家里唯一的经济支柱。他对我们意义重大，他的音容笑貌将永远活在我们心中。如今，我们心中仿佛缺失了一大块，再也无法填补。
我希望能够给予他一个有尊严的告别，为他举办一场体面的葬礼，如他所愿。我们恳请大家的帮助，以支付此次葬礼及安葬所需的费用。无论金额多少，您的每一份心意对我们家人来说都意义非凡。若您暂时无法捐助，恳请帮助我们将这条消息转发给更多的人。感谢大家在这段艰难时期给予的支持、关爱与同情。
