We celebrate the life of Surachitt Allan Siripawa, devoted brother, heart of his family, loyal friend, and passionate Canucks fan.

Allan was born in Bangkok, Thailand. In 1970, he moved to Canada with his family and settled in Vancouver.

Allan's career began alongside his father in the travel industry, becoming an important and fulfilling part of his life. It took him to Los Angeles, where he worked in his father’s office, and later to several travel agencies. In 2009, guided by his entrepreneurial spirit, Allan founded his own travel company, TSI Travel. 

Throughout his career, Allan built many lasting friendships and connections within the travel industry. He was known for his warmth, generosity, and genuine care for others, qualities that made him deeply respected and loved by his colleagues, friends, and those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Allan had a lifelong love of travel and enjoyed discovering new places, cruising, and experiencing different cultures. He was also an avid hockey fan and took great pleasure in following the sport.

Allan passed away in Richmond, British Columbia following a courageous battle with lung cancer. He was predeceased by his father, Prem Singh Siripawa, and his mother, Premchitt Siripawa.

He is survived by his three sisters, Cherry (late Paramjit), Nancy (Kanwal), and Jelly (Vikas), as well as his uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, and great-nieces and great-nephews.

Above all, Allan will be remembered for the relationships he built and the many lives he touched through his kindness, generosity, and friendship. He will be deeply missed by his sisters, extended family, and his many friends and colleagues.

His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

You know where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain
There's been a load of compromising on the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
