Eugene Chu Obituary

Eugene Y.C. Chu

Of San Bruno, CA, passed away suddenly on June 25, 2014 at the age of 63 in Maui, Hawaii.

Eugene was born in Indonesia on March 25, 1951. He graduated from Lowell High School in 1969, attended City College of San Francisco from 1969-1971 and received a degree in Accounting from UC Berkeley in 1973. He went on to have a distinguished career as a CPA with the IRS for more than 35 years before retiring four years ago.

Eugene met Margie Hom in 1972. They dated for a couple years and were married on January 14, 1979. They remained devoted to each other for the past 35 years and together enjoyed years of traveling, attending San Francisco Giants games, and supporting local schools and other causes.

Eugene was a beloved member of the community and enjoyed spending his mornings at Lake Merced. His weekends were spent attending local benefit concerts and community events, and being with his family and friends. He was a loyal Cal Berkeley football, Giants and Niners fan and a big fan of Jest Jammin.
Eugene Chu is survived by his beloved wife Margie Chu; his two children Kristina Chu (Julius Li) and Michael Chu; his brother, Lincoln Chu and sister, Ava Stottlemyer.

A viewing will be held at Duggan's Serra Mortuary, 500 Westlake Avenue, Daly City on Saturday, July 12th at 10 am and the celebration of life service will follow at 10:30 am.

We are sorry to hear about the loss. My wife May Lee and I had been taken Tai Chi class in CSM with Gene in 2012 and we had a great time. Gene has been a great member of the group and was very nice, humor, and humble and he will be missed.

My dear brother Gene - I will always love you with all my heart and treasure my wonderful and fun memories with you. It is still hard for me to accept that you are gone, but you are here in thought and spirit. Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. Ava
