Kean San Tan, 61, was born on September 28, 1962, in Malaysia to Kheam Tan and Chai Ling. Kean entered into his eternal rest on February 15, 2024, in Duarte, California.

His dedication extended beyond professional pursuits, as he tirelessly worked to support both his immediate family in the US and his loved ones back in Malaysia. Despite facing a formidable and terminal illness, he courageously embraced life, finding joy in savoring delectable cuisine and cherishing moments with friends and family. His resilient spirit allowed him to live his life fully and lovingly, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to share in his journey.
