Jason E. Chin
Of Arlington Heights

Jason E. Chin, son of Mary and Eddie Chin, brother to Justina (born May 6, 1982) was a man who brought out the best in his friends and never allowed other people’s opinions to stop him from doing anything. He died unexpectedly on August 21st, 2010, at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights.

He set the bar high so that when his friends were making a decision, they asked, “What Would Chin Do?” (WWCD). When he chose a friend he would do anything for them, no questions asked. He lived in a black and white world with a mischievous sense of humor. Even his favorite team was the White Sox.

Jason lived his own values. What was typical of Jason was that if someone told him that it couldn’t be done, he made sure it happened (i.e. the birth of the Chin Cradle-a new wrestling move that the coach said could never work). His single minded determination led to being given the Dan Whittemore Award for Courage and Determination. Being named co-captain of the Hersey Football team wasn’t about being recognized by others, but a natural result of doing his best.

In addition to his parents and sister, Jason is survived by; his grandparents, Yin Bing and Yuk King Moy and Sue Chin; his aunts and uncles, Lina (Ron) Hamilton, Betty (Saulius) Ploplys, Marline (Matt) Wicks, Susie (Jon) Forde, Karen Chin, Carol (Mike) Curda, Bill (Mary) Moy, and Donna (Jeff) Clarke; and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Charles Chin.
