Ng, Dan

DAN NG, of Lethbridge, beloved husband of Shandy, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on Monday, October 9th, 2017 at the age of 82 years.

Besides his loving wife, he is survived by Danny Jr. (Patricia) of Calgary, Cullen (Connie) of Lethbridge, Dickson (Tracy) of Lethbridge and Elaine (Cam) of Edmonton. Dan's seven grandchildren are Jordan, Sylvia, Kayla, Malcolm, Ryan, Isaac and Nicolas. Many relatives found in China, Hong Kong, Canada and The United States also survive him. He was predeceased by Bick Hoy (father), Juey Jean (mother) and Sue Poo (brother).

Dan was born in Zhongshan, Guang Dong Province, China. He immigrated to Canada in 1952 at the age of 17. In 1957, he founded and established Dan's Greenhouses. He first began with growing tomatoes and an assortment of vegetables. He would load up his vehicle with many plants, go out and make deliveries and wouldn't come home until the job was done. Despite the long hours in the greenhouse, he still had time to enjoy the other things in life like travelling all over the world, eating various types of food and valued family time.

There will be a private family service held in the morning of October 14th, 2017. Later in the afternoon, there will be a Celebration of Life to take place at the LETHBRIDGE LODGE HOTEL AND CONFERENCE CENTRE, 320 Scenic Drive South, Lethbridge, AB from 3:00pm - 5:00pm that will be open to the public.

In lieu of flowers and in memory of Dan Ng, donations may be made to your local Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Aunt Shandy and Uncle Dan's home was always welcoming. Some of my favorite childhood memories are spending time with family there.Rest in peace Uncle Dan.

My family (Erwin and Martha Schultz) came to know Dan and his family in 1967. Dan would come into Eastway Esso and while I filled up his green truck with gas, he would have a cup of coffee or tea in the restaurant, laughing and joking with all the local patrons - the jail guards, stock yard people like Sherman Hill and others. Dan was always kind and jovial - a perfect business neighbor. I don't think I ever met a person that didn't like him - he will be missed. Rest in peace, Dan. You lived a great life!

It is with Deep Sadness that we learn of Dan's passing. He was a Great Friend to my parents and all of us. It was Dan that gave me my first job off the farm and then introduced me to the managers at Safeway on 5th ave north in Lethbridge from where I went on to a very long career. For that I will be eternally grateful. Dan and his family were a mainstay in the community and will be missed. I would like to extend our condolences to Shandy and the children and grandchildren.
