Veteran petrol dealer and owner of Steve’s Texaco/ Rubis Service Station on Vlissengen Road, Steve Chung died at home on Monday of an apparent heart attack.
He was 79.
His reputed wife Sharon Mohan told Stabroek News that the father of four returned home from a day at the service station on Monday evening and was retiring to bed sometime close to 11. However as he neared the bed she said he collapsed and died while being attended to by their neighbour who is a doctor.
Mohan remembered her husband as a humble man who fell in love with Facebook and his favourite pastime during the day was to update his posts and also read those posted by his friends.
“He was very down to earth, so kind and loving. He loved Facebook he would be checking all the time,” she fondly reflected.
Mohan pointed out that Chung, who liked to be called ‘Big Steve’ also enjoyed camping and hunting and would cook his traditional Chinese meals often.
Chung has four children, one girl and three boys, and all remember him for his bubbly personality and strong will.
His funeral arrangements are still being organized.
