Pius Yun

October 18, 1932 – December 1, 2024

Pius Yun, 92, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2024, surrounded by the love of his family. A devoted Catholic, Pius exemplified unwavering faith in God and the profound impact of prayer throughout his journey.

Born on October 18, 1932, in Canton Province, China, to Kiet and Phat Yun, Pius's life was marked by resilience, love, and a steadfast commitment to family. In 1951, the Yun family relocated to Cambodia, where Pius married his childhood friend and lifelong partner, Lien Theresa Le, in 1956. Their journey continued in 1957 when they moved to Vietnam, residing in Binh Hung and Saigon, before ultimately immigrating to the United States in 1981. They settled in Massachusetts, building a home filled with love in Brockton, Stoughton, and later Sterling.

Pius worked as a machine operator in the medical device industry, ensuring his children could pursue higher education and a brighter future. Alongside his wife, he played an integral role in raising many of his grandchildren, finding joy in their presence and in tending to his cherished garden.

Pius was predeceased by his beloved wife, Lien, his parents, Kiet and Phat, his brother, Luc, his firstborn son, Mein, and his grandson, Perry.

He leaves behind a devoted family who carries forward his legacy:

His children: Vincent (Meiling), Eric (Stacey), Ben (Mi Mi), Yen (Paul), Julian (Purvi), and Angela (Thomas).

His grandchildren: Sean, Alexia, Austin, Amilia, Aaron, Avianna, Lawrence, Tiffanie, Jeanie, Priscilla, Olivia, Luke, Wesley, Oliver, Jadienne, and Winston.

Pius is also survived by his brothers, Lian, Tri, Mon, and Sing; his sister, Sei; and many other relatives and dear friends. He will be remembered for his love, spirituality, courage, perseverance, compassion, and unwavering kindness, which touched countless lives.

Following this, a funeral Mass will be held at 12:00 PM at St. Cecilia's Church, 180 Mechanic Street, Leominster (across the street from the funeral home), followed by burial in St. Cecilia's Cemetery.
