Alex Tan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bonney Watson Funeral Home - Federal Way on Jan. 16, 2026.
Alex Zoleta Tan, a devoted Catholic, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, was born on December 3, 1944 and passed away on January 7, 2026. He was deeply loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him, especially his family and close friends.

Known for his kindness and generosity, Alex was always the first to offer a helping hand-never thinking of himself or what it might cost him. His selfless nature touched countless lives, and he lived each day guided by faith, compassion, and a sincere heart.

Alex was always cheerful and full of life. Among family and friends, he was known as the comedian-quick to make others laugh and able to brighten any room he walked into. His joyful spirit, warm presence, and humor made those around him feel loved and at ease.

Of all his blessings, Alex cherished his children and grandchildren most. Their happiness brought him immeasurable joy, and he filled their lives with love, encouragement, and unwavering devotion.

Alex leaves behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and joy. He will be forever remembered in the hearts of those who loved him. May he rest peacefully in the eternal care of our Lord.
