What Yan was like

Yan passed away at 41 years old after a lifelong battle with addiction. He was a gentle and free soul who enjoyed meeting new people, going to new places, and experiencing new things. Yan loved his family and lived his life in the moment.

How Yan will be missed

We will miss his light-hearted personality, laughter, and random gestures of kindness. When Yan was in a good state of mind, he was a positive and charismatic person despite all of his trials and tribulations. Yan easily made friends and met people from all walks of life as he was open-minded, hospitable, and nonjudgmental.
