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.
Originating from Penang, Malaysia, Kean embarked on a transformative journey when he arrived in the United States at the age of 16. Driven by a passion for the medical field, he pursued his education, ultimately graduating from USC Pharm School and realizing his dream of becoming a pharmacist. 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.
Kean is survived by his loving family: Daughters, Sherrene Tan and Katrina Tan, and other family members who loved and cared for him.
