Zheng Ximing
I am heartbroken to announce the death of my father, Ximing Zheng. He passed away peacefully at the age of 64, with family members at his side on December 7th, 2022, in Kirkland Washington under Evergreen Hospice Care Center.
He was born in Suzhou, JiangSu, China in November 1958.
Ximing grew up in Suzhou with his parents and three older sisters. He attended HeFei University of Technology (HeFei, China) in 1978 and Electric Power Research Institute (Beijing, China) in 1982. After graduate school, he continued to work eight years in China and decided to come to the United States to pursue his studies at University of Wisconsin – Madison in 1992. Ximing then worked as an electric engineer for various companies in the United States and Canada for about 30 years. Ximing met many of his close friends in university, graduate school, and work.
Ximing was fun loving, hardworking, smart, optimistic, and enjoyed a wide range of hobbies. He loved to play Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) since childhood. He participated in many Xiangqi competitions and won Champion at Chinese Chess National Championship of Canada, Champion at North American Cup Xiangqi Individual Championship, and 10th place at World Xiangqi World Championship. Ximing was given the International Grand Master title by the World Xiangqi Federation. Ximing also enjoyed playing Go and Bridge and often played matches online with his friends.
In his free time, Ximing loved plants and flowers. He surrounded the family rooms with 20+ plants and flowers. He took extra care of the plants by spending lots of time watering and nourishing them.
Ximing was a proud and loving husband and father who enjoyed traveling with his family. He especially enjoyed spending quality time with family and friends at family and friends gatherings.
Ximing is survived by his devoted wife Li Lu, daughter Luxi Zheng, sisters RongHua Zheng, JiHua Zheng, MingHua Zheng and their families.
He fought a formidable battle with Lung Cancer in his last 17 months. Ximing will be greatly missed, fondly remembered and loved forever.
The family would like to thank Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (Fred Hutch) and Evergreen Hospice Care for all of the care and support during this time.
