Timothy Young Fong

December 29, 1955 - February 2, 2021

Timothy Fong (Tim), age 65, passed away February 2, 2021. Born in Chicago, IL, he was the much-loved son of Chester and Helen Fong and the beloved younger brother of Glen Fong, all of whom preceded him in death. Tim is survived by his loving nephews, Nick, his wife Rocio, Brent Fong, Christopher Fong and sister-in-law Brenda Fong. He is the beloved Great Uncle of Rocco and Sienna Fong and Godfather to Myalisa Miroballi and Michael Hoy. Tim is the much-loved Stepfather to Dr. Brant (Melinda) Hulsebus and Cory (Aaron) Park and to seven step grandchildren. Raised in Chicago’s Chinatown, with his lifelong friend Ron Hoy, he then graduated from Lane Tech and then attended Northern Illinois University. Tim pledged Sigma Chi Fraternity, where Joe Miroballi was his pledge father and where Tim next became pledge father to Perry Miroballi whose friendships and family ties have extended through the years. Tim was known and loved as a compassionate, loyal and giving friend to all. He became a member of so many of the families that a holiday or celebratory dinner without Tim was not the same. While Tim hated crowds, he did often help restaurant friends provide their services at Taste of Chicago because Tim was just this kind of friend. He truly did love the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Summer Tuesday night concerts on the Esplanade. A true Chicago fan, he always watched the Chicago Bears, groaning and cheering as the game dictated. It was his life dream to relocate to Cabo San Lucas to spend his retirement years with two of his nephews who live in that area. An entrepreneur at heart, Tim at an early age embraced the two “R’s”: restaurants and real estate. He was involved in a number of successful restaurant ventures from exquisite Chinese restaurants to elegant dinner/dancing establishments in the Gold Coast and Rush Street. The restaurant business brought out Tim’s inner chef: he was a first class cook and was the “go to guy” for cooking questions. On the real estate side, he brokered a large number of real estate deals and ultimately settled into providing management consulting expertise to emerging businesses ranging from technology to PPE manufacturing. The consummate networker, Tim had a gift for connecting business professionals to their mutual benefit. Due to governmental restrictions on public gatherings, the service is strictly limited but can be observed via video.
