Fund Type: Memorial
Community: Prince George
The family of Kris created this fund to support cycling initiatives and heart health care in our community.
We thank you for being a part of his legacy.
Words from Kris's son, Kieran:
Dad was the best and most supportive father. I am very grateful to have had him be such a big part of my life. From a young age he was always rooting for me in all my activities and having my back during difficult times. Through the years we had many great adventures and made many memories up to recent years developed a closer father and son bond as an adult. He was always happy to assist when you needed a hand or if you just want to have good conversations. He wasn’t just my dad but one of my best friends. I know he will always be cheering for us. Love you and miss you lots dad.
Words from Kris's son, Aiden:
I couldn’t be more grateful to call, who many people know as Kris, as my Dad. Reminiscing about him I can pinpoint times when I was in a hole and he was always kind and loving to me no matter what. I’ve seen this kindness through his work where he would always be present and willing to do whatever he could to help because he truly cared for everyone he was in service of. Stories people have told about his cycling spoke about how he was inclusive, making everyone feel welcome, staying behind and talking to people, with his smile. Races he was in where he slowed down so he could pass through finish lines together with his fellow racers showed true sportsmanship. It is very important for me to keep his legacy alive with words and with actions. This foundation puts into action a way to remember everything he’s brought to the world and to raise awareness for Coronary Artery Disease. We hope to help limit the circumstances this disease has put our family through for others and bring awareness that this could happen to anyone even if there are no signs to indicate so. We will keep riding on and hope to “crush it” for you, my Dad Kris Yip.
