Sorry for being silent and reaching out this late – it has been one and a half years since Steve Tso’s passing. His death has been a profound loss, and we do this with heavy hearts.

Steve fought pancreatic cancer courageously for over two years with his usual good spirits, buoyed by his many friends – like you – his family, and his faith. He passed peacefully on March 22, 2023, surrounded by his loving family and friends.

In honoring Steve's life and highlighting his commitment to helping sick children and their families, his family would appreciate memorial gifts to be made to the Ronald McDonald House. Donating to this cause would not only honor his memory, but also provide much-needed support to the children and families who are receiving specialized care and services. Your charitable gift can help to ensure that his legacy of compassion for others lives on, and that sick children have access to the best possible care and resources. We extend our deepest condolences to Steve's family and loved ones.

We thank you for considering a donation in his memory. Donations can be made using this link: https://rmhbc-in-memory.raisely.com/tsokinglokstephen.
