Wenjun Jin

Wenjun Jin, 89, died peacefully on October 1, 2025.

Born in Shanghai, China, Wenjun grew up as the youngest of three brothers. In 1964, he married his beloved wife, Hongying Lin, and together they raised two daughters, Lei and Yu Jin. He immigrated to the United States in 2004 to be closer to family and help care for his two grandsons.

Wenjun was inquisitive and deeply curious, always eager to learn and grateful for all that life offered him. He was an avid reader of Chinese literature, taught himself English, and cultivated a lifelong passion for writing. He frequently composed poems reflecting on life, family, and the world around him, and he even wrote an autobiography chronicling his life’s journey. He also found great joy in photography, always seeking to capture the beauty of nature and the cherished moments he shared with his family. Beyond his creative pursuits, Wenjun loved to travel the world and explore new cuisines, most recently visiting Las Vegas with his family for a celebration of his 90th birthday according to Chinese tradition. His favorite pastimes included playing Mahjong and listening to Peking Opera.

Wenjun was a loving husband, devoted father, and adored grandfather. He poured his heart into his family and filled the lives of those around him with joy. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Hongying Lin; his daughters, Lei Jin and her husband Dave Falardeau, and Yu Jin and her husband Yibin Gu; his grandsons, Albert and Andrew Gu; as well as his extended family worldwide.

Visitation will be held from 10:00-11:00 AM on Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Cusick Funeral Home, 80 Mountain Avenue, Somerville, NJ, with services following at 11:00 AM.
