John Yeung, age 65 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2020.

Born in Hong Kong, John came to America when he was just eight years old.  His family was sponsored by his aunt, who owned a Chinese Laundry in Guttenberg, NJ.  They lived in an apartment behind the laundry for a short while before moving to Union City, NJ.  John graduated from Union Hill High School and went on to earn his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Rutgers University.  He went on to enjoy a career in sales, working for companies like NCR, AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Cablevision, and Verizon. He enjoyed lots of global travel as a part of his career, and he’s been to many countries around the globe.

John was a huge sports fan, rooting for his beloved NY GIANTS and NY YANKEES. He liked going to games and spending time with friends and family in the stands. He also enjoyed bowling and had belonged to a bowling league for many years.  He also liked working on his cars; fixing, maintaining, and customizing.  Relaxing at the Jersey Shore was also a favorite pastime, and he spent many days on the beach in Belmar with his family.  He loved all kinds of food and could usually out-eat just about anyone! He liked Italian food, Chinese food, and hot dogs, joined by either a nice cold beer or a glass of wine. John’s greatest love, of course, was his daughter Stefanie.  He was an outstanding dad, always active in her schooling and always supportive of her extracurricular activities. Stefanie was a cheerleader, and John always attended games and competitions throughout the years. He also enjoyed going on ski trips with Stefanie and other family members. Stefanie will always be his little girl, and she will surely miss him dearly.  

John is survived by his beloved daughter Stefanie of Hawthorne, five brothers; George and his wife Anh of Fairfax, VA, James and his wife Bellie of McLean, VA, David and his wife Esther of North Brunswick, NJ, William of Waldwick, NJ, and Edward and his wife Rosemary of Alexandria, VA, many nieces and nephews including Eric Yeung of New York, a dear cousin Bernice Eng of Rumson, NJ, and he remained dear friends with his former wife, Patricia Yeung of Wayne.
