Eddie Lo-Tak Chan

Eddie Chan, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his devoted wife, his loving brothers and sister, his caring brother-in-law and sister-in-law, his cherished son and daughter-in-law, and his precious grandchildren, who will continue to carry forward his legacy of love and faith.

Eddie was born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States in the early 1980s, first settling in New York City before later building a home and family life in North Carolina. A hardworking and devoted man, he was best known for his quiet strength, kindness, unwavering integrity, and faith in Jesus Christ.

Eddie was a Master Tailor trained in Hong Kong, carrying forward the proud legacy of his grandparents, who were themselves renowned Master Tailors serving Hong Kong’s “Hollywood” film industry. When he arrived in the United States, the New York fashion world welcomed him, recognizing the mastery he carried from his Hong Kong background. He worked as a pattern maker with respected designers including Adrianna Papell, Julie Francis, and Christian Dior, where his artistry and precision earned him recognition. Later, as the owner of Magdalen’s Tailoring in Winston-Salem, he quietly brought that same level of skill and dedication to his community. Many came to recognize and appreciate his exceptional craft, though Eddie himself carried it with humility, always seeing his work as a way to serve others.

Beyond his professional life, Eddie’s humor, warmth, and dedication to his faith and church enriched the lives of those around him. For over 20 years, he was a faithful member of the Winston Salem Chinese Church, supported through Ardmore Baptist Church on Miller Street in Winston-Salem, where he lived out his Christian values in the way he loved and served others.

The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Christopher Jue, Novant GI Specialist, whose dedication and attentiveness meant so much to Eddie. Dr. Jue immediately arranged for CT scans and set up appointments to ensure Eddie’s condition was understood quickly and accurately, diagnosing his Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and carefully overseeing the progression of his illness. Eddie deeply appreciated Dr. Jue’s faithful follow-through and compassionate care throughout his journey. The family also gives special thanks to Dr. Hope E. Uronis of the Duke Cancer Center, whose treatment sustained him well beyond the typical six-month survival timeframe and gave the family cherished additional time together. Deep appreciation is also extended to the compassionate caregivers at the Novant Health Palliative Care Unit and the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home, whose kindness and tender care provided comfort and dignity in his final months.

We give thanks to the Lord for graciously sustaining Eddie’s life for one year and eight months beyond his diagnosis, granting his family precious time to share love, memories, and faith together. Now healed and whole, Eddie rests in the eternal presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—rejoicing in the peace and joy found only in Him. His life was a true testament to faith, love, and devotion, and his legacy will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.

陳羅德，北卡羅來納州溫斯頓–塞勒姆居民，安息於主懷，親人環繞在側，平靜離世。 他身後留有摯愛的妻子、慈愛的兄弟姊妹、關懷備至的姻親、疼愛的兒子與媳婦，以及珍貴的孫兒女們，他們將承繼他的愛與信仰的傳承。

陳羅德出生於香港，於1980年代初移民美國，先在紐約市定居，後來在北卡羅來納州建立家庭與人生。他是一位勤奮而忠心的人，以其沉穩的力量、善良、堅定的正直，以及對耶穌基督的信心而廣為人知。

陳羅德是一位受過專業訓練的香港高級裁縫師，承襲了祖父母的驕傲傳統——他們曾是服務於香港「東方好萊塢」影壇的知名裁縫大師。當他來到美國時，紐約的時尚界熱情地接納了他，讚賞他從香港帶來的精湛手藝。他曾擔任打版師，與包括 Adrianna Papell、Julie Francis 以及 Christian Dior 等知名設計師合作，他的藝術造詣與精準工藝因此受到肯定。後來，他在溫斯頓–塞勒姆開設 Magdalen’s Tailoring，將同樣的專業與奉獻帶給社區。許多人讚賞並依靠他的非凡技藝，而他始終謙遜，把工作視為服事他人的方式。

在專業之外，陳羅德以幽默、溫暖和對信仰及教會的委身，影響了周圍無數的人。二十多年來，他忠心地參與溫斯頓–塞勒姆華人教會的聚會，該教會由位於米勒街的Ardmore 浸信會所支持。在那裡，他以愛心服事，真實地活出基督徒的生命。

家人特別感謝 Novant 腸胃專科醫師 Christopher Jue 博士，他盡心盡責，立即安排電腦斷層檢查並設定相關診療，及時發現並正確診斷出陳羅德的第四期胰臟癌，並細心跟進整個病程。在這段艱難旅程中，陳羅德深深感激 Jue 醫師持續的守護與關懷。家人也特別感謝 Duke 癌症中心的 Hope E. Uronis 博士，她的治療使他的壽命遠遠超過一般僅有六個月的存活期，讓家人得以珍惜額外的一年八個月的寶貴時光。家人同樣感謝 Novant 醫療體系緩和治療部門與 Kate B. Reynolds 安寧療養院的護理團隊，他們的仁慈與細膩照顧，在他最後的日子裡給予尊嚴與安慰。

我們感謝主，奇妙地保守陳羅德自診斷後多活了一年零八個月，讓家人得以分享更多愛、回憶與信仰。如今，他已痊癒完全，安息在救主耶穌基督的永恆同在裡——享受那唯有在祂裡面才有的平安與喜樂。他的一生是真實的信仰、愛與奉獻的見證，他的精神將永遠活在所有愛他之人的心中。
