On Tuesday 23rd April, our dear colleague and friend Ray Chan sadly passed away having suffered a stroke.
One of the most energetic and passionate characters to grace the film industry; so many of us have been fortunate enough to experience Ray's dedication, creativity and endless enthusiasm over the last three decades.
It doesn't seem conceivable that someone so dynamic can be taken so soon, and so suddenly.
The movie world has truly lost one of it's main characters.
This page has been set up for us all to pay tribute to Ray - and his family has proposed the Stroke Association in the hope that more lives can be saved by greater awareness. Please give as much or as little as as you can afford, and feel free to leave a message of condolence.
MEMORIAL IS TAKING PART ON FRIDAY 5TH JULY AT 7PM, STAGE X AT PINEWOOD STUDIOS
Ray, you will forever be in our memories! My thoughts are with your family who you always spoke so fondly of, and were so proud of all of them! It was a pleasure to get to know you during Deadpool and I cannot believe that you won't be with us to see your dream come alive "70ft on a cinema screen!!!!". You still got such a buzz from doing this job after so many years which is incredible! We were lucky to get to know you better, post-strikes, in a small team where the frantic pace had slightly dropped even if your walking pace didn't! We certainly got the best of you and it was a pleasure to sit next to you for those months! I will be forever grateful for the advice you gave on working in this industry with a young family and your reassurance. We will all miss you! Ray, matey rest well! x
So Sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. Deepest condolences to all family and friends.
Ray was just perfect to work with, always had such positive creative energy and looked out for you. His sunny smile would make you smile too. I feel lucky to have worked with him, an all round lovely guy.
