Ilpoong Chang Obituary

Visit the Thomas F. Dalton Funeral Homes - Hicksville website to view the full obituary.
Ilpoong Chang passed away on October 13, 2025. Born in China, he lived in Korea until 1976 and immigrated to New York to join his wife, Aisik Chang. He was predeceased by his mother, Shinok Kim, and his beloved wife, Aisik.

Ilpoong worked as both an accountant and a computer programmer. For many years, he balanced work in Virginia with home in New York, traveling each weekend to be with his family. He spent five years as the primary caregiver for his wife after she was disabled by a fall.

He had a deep faith in God and faithfully attended church throughout his life. He cared deeply for those facing hardship, whether due to illness, physical challenges, or the demands of difficult work. He cherished his grandchildren, Colin, Yeji, and Jamie. A voracious reader, he loved to share books with friends and family. He also loved the outdoors, finding joy in hiking and walks along the beach.

He is survived by his sons, David and Paul; his brothers, Stephano, Hyeonpung, and Andre; and his daughters-in-law, Yuyu Bu and Catherine.

Before he died, he expressed great confidence that God was calling him home. He looked forward to seeing those that had passed before him again. He will be missed by his friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Milal New Jersey, which provides faith-based classes and activities for children and young adults with disabilities. https://www.njmilal.org/?page_id=57
