David F. Chao, passed away suddenly on March 30, 2025, while on vacation. Our hearts are heavy with grief, but we find comfort in knowing that he was surrounded by his family and loved ones when he was called back by the Lord.
David was born in 1945 in Chongqing City, Sichuan Province, China. He was married to Christina J. Chao for 44 years, and they had one child, Gary. He also had a daughter-in-law, Tina, a grandson, Ethan, a granddaughter, Avery, and a loving second wife, Christine Ging, step-daughter, Teresa Ging, step-daughter, Elizabeth Winston, a step son-in-law, Matthew Winston, and a step-grandson, Maxwell Winston.
David loved to preach, play tennis, travel, and sing with his guitar. He lived a life filled with love, joy, unwavering kindness, and immense generosity, and he touched the hearts of many people. We're so grateful that he's now resting in the Heavenly Kingdom, enjoying the rich blessings of the Lord. His memory will forever be cherished, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
