Jae Chang Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 9, 2025.
Jae W. Chang, beloved son of Dong Ja and Chong Kun Chang, and a cherished friend to many, passed away on March 25, 2025, in San Francisco, CA, at the age of 54. Jae was a proud alumnus of Carnegie Mellon University and one of the founders of Internet Securities. Jae was known for his diverse interests and hobbies, and was always up for a new challenge. He loved good food and was a devoted pet parent. But his greatest passion was flying. Jae not only built his own small aircraft but changed careers to become a commercial pilot. Jae is survived by his parents, his sister, Jennifer Chang (Bert Denolf) and his niece, Chloe. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
