Tylun Wah Tim Pang's Obituary
It is with extreme sadness we announce the passing of Tylun Wah Tim Pang, age 65. Tylun, also known
as Tim by his Pang Ohana, was a cherished and loved Son, Husband, Father, Papa, Brother, Friend, Mentor,
and beloved Chef.
Tylun was born July 10th, 1956 on the island of Oahu. He was pre-deceased by his parents Mildred “Mili”
Pang and Yun Yung Pang. After graduating from McKinley High School, he continued his passion for
culinary, worked on Oahu, Kauai, California, and Maui. He spent the past 25 years as the Executive Chef at
the (Fairmont) Kealani Resort, and executed the debut of KŌ Restaurant.
Tylun poured his heart and soul into his work and family. Everyone always admired his passion and
creativity of his art. He was an excellent fisherman, doting husband, proud father, distinguished Chef, and
the most loving Papa.
The Pang family, along with the KŌ and Kealani Ohana were all unprepared for this devastating loss. His
legacy will live on in all the lives he’s touched.
He is survived by his Wife, Mary-Jo, Son Timothy, (Step) Daughters Malia, Moani and Miki’ala, Hanai Son
Ryan; Grandchildren Slayder and Kealia; Sisters Jody (Robert) Domingo, Ani Pang, Tami (Raymond) Orozco,
and Mari (Dennis) Chan; Nephew Kealoha (Claire) Domingo and many, many Cousins, Nieces, Nephews and
extended family.
“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew
why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never
would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place that
no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.”
