Obituary for Francis Kai Tak Lee

Francis Kai Tak Lee, loving father, devoted son, and supportive brother, passed away from cancer on November 5, 2017. He was born in Hong Kong on October 19, 1960 to Ignatius Lee and Agatha Cheng, the second of five children. He attended Wah Yan College Kowloon before bravely setting out, at the age of 19, to the United States.

He attended Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts for his Bachelor's, and Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for his Master's in Engineering. He then attended the University of Alberta for medical school, and conducted his residency in Boston, Massachusetts.

A dedicated psychiatrist who touched many lives, from Boston to Toronto, he spent his life helping others with care and compassion and providing comfort to those suffering from mental illness. As a friend, he brought wit, humor, and wisdom. He always gave to those in his life, setting a shining example to all.

He loved playing Risk with his children, watching Star Wars, drinking Heineken, and eating good food.

He is survived by his 2 children, Jeremy and Jocelyn, and by the many lives he touched. He will be dearly missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.
