Tae Chong was born in South Korea on March 3, 1961. Tae moved to the United States with his parents in the 1970s. Tae worked for years in Maryland as a mason, often working on schools and shopping mall foundations in many Maryland communities. Tae is survived by his wife, Sun Ja Chong, as well as his daughters Alexandra Chong-Kiskowski and Crystal Chong. Most dearly he adored his grandchildren William (age 6 years old) and Sasha (age 4 years old). He also relied on his loyal son-in-law Louie Kiskowski who always went above and beyond to ensure Tae's safety and comfort.   Tae was loved and cared for by many people, he loved vacationing in Ocean City, MD and cooking on the grill at family events. In lieu of flowers and services, the family encourages donations to help support those who cared for Tae in his last few months and weeks of life. All proceeds will go towards Tae's personal caregivers at Full Circle Assisted Living who not only cared for his physical needs as his health rapidly declined, but had the deepest love and caring for him in a short amount of time, as well as Grassroots Crisis Intervention, an organization that offered much needed services during a time of need.
