Our dearest friends and family,
Dad went home to be with the Lord this morning; he was surrounded by family when he took his final breath. While we are overwhelmed with grief for this earth-side loss, we rejoice that Dad is no longer suffering and is in heaven where he is without pain and cancer-free.
We are so incredibly thankful for this community that has surrounded us in love and prayers during this journey. Your support brought us strength and joy amid this difficult trial.
We will update this blog with service details at a later date. Grateful for each of you.
My deepest condolences to the family. Art will always be remembered for his kindness and laughter he brought to others. He will continue to live on through his daughters. Wishing the family peace and strength during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss Fong family. I was hoping to visit Art yesterday. If I had the chance, I would have sung to him one of my favorite songs our church’s choir sings. Words are as follows:
Go now in peace,
Never be afraid
God will go with you each hour of every day.
Go now in faith,
Steadfast strong and true
Know He will guide you in all you do.
Go now in love, and show you believe
Reach out to others, so all the world can see.
God will be there, watching from above.
Go now in peace, in faith and in love.
Glen
We have been and will continue to lift you all up as you deal with the seismic shift as Art has left your warm embrace for heaven. Holding you through emptiness, grief, pain, busyness of a different kind, and especially praying against fear for Pam. May your experience of God’s provision deepen even further, Pam. He hurts with you, and for you.
We are very to see this news. Rest in peace Art and may the Lord provide the Fong family peace and comfort at this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Pam, and your daughters, and the many family and friends who are grieving this earthly loss. But we do not grieve as those who have no hope. May the Lord be the one you go to for comfort, strength, peace, and joy … always. Even though it was a very short time that we have known Art, we are grateful to the Lord for you, Pam, and Art. Love… Daniel, Renee, Melanie Poon
My heart goes out to Art’s family. I remember Art as always having a smile on his face! I knew him from the Schurr H.S. Band Boosters. My son is Vincent Garcia. Art was always ready to joke around! I’ll never forget him. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
Pam, Jannae and Taylor, the Lord’s comfort, grace and peace be with you. So thankful for Art’s faith and the confidence we have in knowing he is free from the sufferings of this world and alive with Christ now. Art will be missed but we know he could not be in better hands now. Julie’s and my hearts are with you.
Rest in Peace Art! Thankful that you are no longer in pain and with our Lord in heaven. Condolences to the Fong family, may God help you through these tough times. and wishing you peace.
I’ll never forget the whole day our family got to spend with your family at the Magical Kingdom. Art is a storyteller! He truly made me laugh and all his wild experiences. I’ll always treasure the friendship we got to develop together. Can’t wait to smile and laugh together for eternity in a Kingdom far greater than the one here on earth! My heart is sad but I know God is sovereign. How Great Thou Art!
I’ll never forget the day our families got to spend at Disneyland together! Art is a storyteller! I enjoyed laughing and being goofy with him. Can’t wait until we laugh together and smile in each other’s presence, enjoying a greater Kingdom than the one we go to enjoy here on earth. 🙂 I know God is sovereign. How Great Thou Art!
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” (Romans 8:26)
Dear Pam, Jannae, Taylor — thank you for these updates. My heart goes out to you for your loss. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died. He understands your loss. May you feel his presence as he comes alongside you to comfort you.
I sit in sackcloth and ashes for Art. He was a beautiful soul, always with a smile on, brought laughter into the room, had a great tenor voice that blended well with others, was never about ego, just a lovely man of faith and such a team player… I love you Art and will see you in Christ’s good timing my brother! Sincere hugs for your family and know God has them safely in His arms. Peace and love my friend…
We are soooo very sad to learn of Art’s passing. We know it is bittersweet to know he isn’t in pain anymore, and know the pain you feel is deep. We hold your family in our prayers. Art was an important part of my Disney Journey, and the journeys of all who worked with him. We are all better people because of him. Much love and many prayers for you all.
Ours hearts go out to you in sympathy and love!
We know that Art has gone on to his everlasting reward that the Father has prepared for him from all eternity.
We ask our loving and merciful God to be with you as you face the coming days. May He provide you with the courage and strength at this difficult time and may He send you the support you will need in the coming days.
Please do not hesitate to call on us if we can be of help in any way.
So sorry to hear about Art. I will miss seeing him at Disneyland. He was always so kind to me. Sending the entire family much love, prayers and strength during this difficult time of grief. 🙏🏻♥️
Pam, Taylor, Jannae, Neal, and the Fong Family ~ With deepest condolences of Art’s passing. Hugs to each one of you.

Fong Family-Pam, Taylor and Jannae: we want to offer our deepest condolences to you on Art’s passing. May the Lord surround you with His comfort and care. We are praying for you in your time of sorrow and hope you feel the Lord’s near presence. We haven’t seen you guys much since we left EBCSGV, but we ran into Art last year at Disney. It was fun for our whole family to see him and chat with him. Sending love and hugs, the Peraltas: Nate, Lyane, Halle, Gabby, Emi and Shane.
Dear Fong Family,
Saying, “I am so sorry for your loss” doesn’t seem to be adequate and I have no words that will give any of you comfort. But you have great faith in the Lord which eventually will bring you solace. No doubt that Art is with God, he was a kind and righteous person. I will continue to pray for the eternal repose of his soul. May we all be as fortunate to be surrounded by loved ones when we are called home to the Father. God bless you all.
Sending love and prayers to your beautiful family. Art was a literal angel on this Earth and anyone who had the privilege of knowing him was even more blessed from that moment. I can still remember all the hugs and sweet conversations I had with him every time we worked together at Disney, and they are all ones I will cherish forever. While this world is dimmer without him, I pray that Art is now at peace and watching over you all. ♥️
Thankful your Dad is no longer in pain. We are so deeply saddened that he is no longer here to bring smiles to those here. We continue to pray for strength for your family while you are stricken with this immense grief.
So very sorry for your loss. But also relieved that he is no longer suffering & in pain. God has a plan for Art I know it involves endless laughter, smiles and love for all. Wishing you all peace & ease during your grief
Oh my dear Pam…Doug and I are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts grieve with you. We are lifting you and the family up to the Lord for comfort, guidance, strength…..May you feel our God of the gaps holding you tightly.
