Pao Lung Chen's life
Pao Lung was born January 10, 1941 in Shanghai, China. His father was a self-made wealthy man who built a cotton textile company, and his mother an industrious woman, loving mother and excellent cook.
In 1949 the family moved to Taipei, Taiwan where Pao Lung grew up and studied civil engineering in college. He immigrated to the United States in the 1960s after a month-long trip across the Pacific Ocean.
After obtaining a master’s degree in civil engineering at Oklahoma State University, Pao Lung moved to Houston and built an engineering career over 50 years in petroleum plant design and construction. His dedication, precision, and attention to detail won the respect and admiration of his colleagues.
In 1972, he married Huang Yu-ling and had a daughter and son.
In 1980, he came to know the Lord and was baptized at Houston Chinese Church. He raised his children in the church and was an active member of the Alief Fellowship (now known as ROCK Fellowship).
Contrary to Pao’s restrained and serious exterior, underneath he was kind and always helpful to others. He was a loving son, brother, husband and father who worked tirelessly and sacrificed much to provide the best for his loved ones.
He enjoyed studying and doing things himself, deriving great satisfaction in being able to fix anything.
His love for his family, religious faith and strong will to live helped him endure more than a year of difficult chemotherapy treatments.
He passed away on June 27, 2022, returning a heavenly home prepared by Jesus Christ at the age of 81.
Pao is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Yuling; daughter Frances with husband Edwin Park; grandchildren Augustine and Myrrh; son Michael Chen with wife Michelle (Umengan); grandchildren Maddox and Micah.
