緬懷David Yen

-曾努力爲促進中美文化經濟交流作出過杰出貢獻

  嚴雲泰,David Yan 父子倆爲中美經濟文化交流做出杰出貢獻。 早在80-90年,David Yan在他創建克利夫蘭世界貿易中心,他向華盛頓上報成立了國際項目,這樣就能連接中國台灣與美國的和平合作,很多年來伊利華報與David Yan有不少合作,David是一位才華橫溢,善良認眞有責任心的人。
   David Yan于2022年3月2日因患癌症不幸離世,享年63歲。他的去世是克利夫蘭華人社區和致力于中美友好交往,促進兩國貿易文化交流陣營的重大損失,我們沉痛悼念這位杰出的中美兩國交流的杰出使者,祝他在天國永享平靜。
 

David Yen
June 21, 1958- March 2, 2022


   David’s passion for loving, supporting, and taking care of others will endure in the hearts and minds of the countless individuals whose lives he touched. He died peacefully from pancreatic cancer at the age of 63. David is survived by his husband Nathan Levitan, parents Josiane and Anthony Yen, stepdaughter Rosa Levitan and her husband Andrew Moelis, brother Dominic Yen, sister-in-law Emily Yen, nieces Melissa and Monique Yen, sister-in-law Beth Levitan, brother-in-law Ray Trautman, sister-in-law Amy Levitan and family, and his dog Barney.
   David had a brilliant mind that flourished in many ways. He was an expert in English etymology. He spoke Italian fluently and was drawn to everything Italian. He loved contemporary art and dance. His interests in politics, history, and world travel were driven by his commitment to liberal politics and social justice. He was a car enthusiast and learned performance driving in recent years. David understood technology and mechanics and could repair almost anything. Professionally, he served in a variety of positions to cultivate international trade and economic development for the City of Cleveland.
   David’s most compelling quality was his enormous heart. His relationships were deep and long-lasting. With uncanny warmth, openness, and curiosity, he acquired a large and diverse group of friends, whom he cherished. His family was a focal point of his life. David was humble, generous, forgiving, and always real.

遠離病魔纏身
放下痛苦折磨
潔愛自身凈土
鞠躬叩頭節哀
