Dr. Yang, one of the best down to earth person i've ever met. Always happy to help especially the nurses who are in the OR room working with him. We were sad when he left us to work to another hospital...but the news about his passing is a devastating news to most of us who had a chance to get to know him and laugh with him. Dr Yang we love you and we will miss you!

John is the type of person who you would meet once and would never forget. His jokes were almost always politically incorrect, yet everyone laughed, even if the joke was on them. He had a fantastic way making fun of people yet the person that he’s making fun of not only doesn’t get upset but laughs as well. He was quick witted and completely uncensored. He was never afraid to express himself or his opinions. John we miss you and will always have you in our hearts.

Dear John, we will forever treasure your friendship, your generosity, and most of all your one-of-a-kind humor. Your sudden passing, though still unacceptable to me, has made me ponder more about life: how delicate, unpredictable, and precious. The sleepingdoc has fallen asleep forever. To an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind friend: rest in peace. JY: you're THE BEST!!!

I have known John for over three years. John helped me get into Pacific Hospital after graduating from residency. Since then John have been like an older brother helping me adjusting to private practice and passing my oral exam. When John become your friend he will go out of his way to help. We at Pacific Hopital are going to miss you. I'm going to miss one of my best friend. Rest in peace, John.

I am devastated by the news about John... He was way, way too young for this to occur. I have no words...and will miss him

John, beneath all the non-chalant exterior, was a sincere and caring man. His divorce was very painful, yet he never complained or asked for help, even though he took a huge financial hit. He told me recently that he could never complain about himself after seeing all the unfortunate children at Shriner's Hospital. He truly meant what he said

John. You played a cruel joke on us with your passing. Although I only known you for a very short time, I find you to be honest, humourous, fair, and kind. I am saddened that you did not reach out to your friends in times of your troubles because we all cared for you. I am saddened that a life so bright can burn so short. If you can hear us, please know that your friendship will always be remembered and you will be missed. May you rest in peace.
