Christopher Cheung passed away peacefully on January 10, 2026 at Stanford Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. At 93 years young, Christopher lived a full and meaningful life marked by devotion to family, perseverance, and kindness.

In his 30s, he built a loving family of his own, which remained the center of his life.

Upon retirement, Christopher and his wife, Irene, enjoyed traveling the world together, creating lasting memories.

Christopher is survived by his loving wife, Irene, his brother Sam, and sister-in-law Adaline; his four children and their spouses; four grandsons, and many nephews, nieces, relatives, and dear friends.

Thank you, Christopher, for gently guiding me through the family reconstruction process during the HK summer camp. That experience became a meaningful part of my personal growth, where I truly felt seen, accepted, and understood. I´m deeply grateful for the warmth and care you brought into that journey, and for all your contributions to the Satir training community. May you rest in peace, surrounded by the love and light you once shared with so many.
