C. Solomon Chau Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 18, 2015.
After an eight month fight against cancer, Solomon passed away peacefully on August 17, 2015 with his wife Jennifer by his side. He is lovingly remembered by Jenn, his parents, Kim and Son, his mother-in-law Jane, his siblings, Mongkol (Sadie), Thida (A.P.), Thi Hannah, and Mike (Alana), his two nieces Arielle and Claire, and his many friends. Sol will be remembered as the kind, funny, outgoing, athletic person that he was, and for all of the joy he brought to the lives he touched. Sol was a talented chef, an avid MMA fan, and a light in whatever room he entered. Even in the hardest times, Sol's unwavering optimism has been an inspiration to everyone around him. Special thanks to Sol's loving family and friends for their unconditional support, the wonderful nurses from Spectrum, and his compassionate medical team, Dr. Whelan and Dr. Jang. Family and friends are invited to the Jerrett Funeral Home "North York Chapel", 6191 Yonge St (south of Steeles Ave) on Thursday, August 20th, 2015 from 6-9pm and Friday, August 21st, 2015 from 2-4 and 6-9pm. A Celebration of his life will be held in the chapel on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 at 1pm. Any donations honouring Solomon can be made to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation (www.thcf.com), or Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care (www.tlcpc.org). Online condolences may be left at

I am so sorry for your loss. I read your story online and you and Sol have touched my life. I will remember not to let another day go wasted. I know that families can be together forever. Marriage need not end here on this earth, but can go on for eternity. God bless you and keep you wrapped up in His arms.

Though I never met Sol, I can tell from his gorgeous smile and kind eyes that he was genuinely thoughtful, funny, and loved life. The world is a better place for him having lived, and touching the lives of those that loved him. He will never be forgotten.

There's nothing that any of us can say to alleviate your pain, but please know, Jenn, that you and Sol have inspired so many of us with your beautiful story--we should never be afraid to love, and each day spent with those closest to our hearts should be cherished.

May the light of this candle shine on Solomon's family and friends, especially Jennifer, making each know their love will last forever. Media reports touched my heart and just wanted to let his loved ones know people you have never met, people from all over the world are amazed by the love, courage and inspiration you have shown. May we all live each day to the fullest just as he did!

I am not sure if spelling will be correct for I can barely see through tears. Mrs. Chau, please, be brave. Few of us on earth are privileged to know true love. How blessed you and Solomon are to have found each other and known great love. Whilst I have never known him, I can see from the photos that he was kind, loving and found joy in each and every second of life. I wish him a safe new journey and you, his wife, I pray you find comfort in knowing that your story of love has reached many of us around the globe who hold you up from afar. F (Australia).

Our hearts goes out to you and both Carter & Chau family, friends and everyone else who knew Solomon. May Solomon rest in eternal peace and stay strong Jenn !

I do not know either of you personally but your story has touched my heart! Your story has reached across Canada, even the world and it is a beautiful love story, I am just sorry it had such a sad ending. Not many woman get the chance to marry their Prince Charming but you did Jenn and that makes you one lucky lady!! Your love will live on, and he will always be watching over you. I lost my mother to this terrible disease just over a year ago so I know the pain you feel at a life taken way to early. Make you find peace in knowing he is no longer suffering. Stay strong, stay beautiful because that is how he would have wanted you to be. Sending love! RIP Soloman - What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.

Do not know Solomon or Jennifer, but followed their story in the media. Just wanted to say that this is the greatest love story ever told ... And while the ending is sad, please try to focus on the bonds of love that time, space, and even death can never break! Your love is one for all the ages. Jen - know that Solomon will always be by your side. My heart goes out to you and everyone who knew him. Solomon had a lot to teach us about life, loving so intensely, living fully, ... May he rest in eternal peace.

Jenn words cannot express how saddened I am about Sol's passing... I read this today and thought it might be appropriate 'Whisper I love you to a butterfly and it will fly to heaven to deliver your message ' xo
