Wai Chun “John” Fong
September 23, 1953 – November 2, 2025
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Wai Chun “John” Fong, who left us on November 2, 2025, at the age of 72, after a recent brave battle with cancer. John departed peacefully at CHA-Everett “Whidden” Hospital, surrounded by the love and warmth of his family.
Born on September 23, 1953, in Kowloon, Hong Kong, John was the cherished son of the late Dick and Joyce Fong, and one of five siblings. At the age of seven, his family immigrated to Chelsea, Massachusetts, where he became an integral part of the community. He attended Chelsea Public Schools and proudly graduated from Chelsea High School in 1972.
For over 25 years, John dedicated himself to his work as an auto mechanic at Sears Automotive Center in Saugus. Later in life, he contributed his talents as a shipping and receiving clerk at the TJX Co. at the Bedford Home Goods Store, where he was known for his reliability and kindness.
John’s devotion to family was unwavering; he took immense pride in hosting weekly family dinners that filled their home with laughter and love. An avid Boston Celtics fan, he once had the unique experience of appearing as a movie
extra in “Celtics Pride.” A tinkerer at heart, John enjoyed customizing bicycles
and enhancing car sound systems, always staying abreast of the latest electronics and technologies. Each day began for him at 3 a.m. with early morning visits to Dunkin’ Donuts, where he savored his coffee as he welcomed the dawn, ever appreciative of life’s simple pleasures.
John will be fondly remembered as a loving son, caring for his late parents and a devoted brother to May L. Fox and her husband Norm of Francestown, NH, David Fong and his wife Nicole of Halifax, Susie McDonald and her husband Jim of Concord, and Patricia “Patty” Calabrese and her husband James of Lynn. He was a most revered uncle and a steadfast presence in the lives of his nieces and nephews: Jacob Fox, Hana Fox, KC Kansaki, Aly Kansaki, Daniel Fong, Jimmy McDonald, Olivia McDonald, Max Calabrese, and Sam Calabrese.
Funeral Services were private. In this time of sorrow, we find solace in the love he shared and the memories that will forever remain in our hearts. John; you will be dearly missed.
