Aaron Chang-Jon Wang

Aaron Chang-Jon Wang passed away on April 15, 2026 in San Jose, California, where he lived with his partner Carmen. He was 27 years old. He was a beloved son to Shunly and Sue, dear brother to Wesley and Crystal, cat dad to Cloud, and life partner to Carmen. Aaron was born in Livingston, New Jersey in 1999. He grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey, where he lived with his parents and two older siblings. He was a happy, smart, and playful child. He graduated from East Brunswick High School in 2017 and from Rutgers University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain Management. He moved to Los Angeles in 2021 and later to San Jose in 2025 with his partner, Carmen. Aaron loved video games, anime, music, concerts, traveling, swimming, skiing, and especially cats (his ultimate dream was to home as many cats as possible). He was always making those around him laugh. He grew strong friendships over the years and was extremely loyal and devoted to his friends; he would drop anything to provide the help they needed at a moment’s notice. He was strong and soft at the same time; those close to him know how sensitive and caring he was. Above all, Aaron loved deeply— he loved his friends, his family, his cat, and Carmen more than anything in the world. His main priority in life was to be able to spend time with his loved ones and provide for them. He had dreams of getting married, traveling the world, starting a business, and having a family of his own. He always tried to be someone that his family and those around him would be proud of, which followed him to the end. Aaron is survived by his family— his parents, Shunly Wang and Shuju Chang, his older brother, Wesley Wang, his older sister, Crystal Wang, and his loving partner, Carmen Prado. We miss and love you so much, Aaron. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, April 24th at 12:00pm at San Jose Funeral Chapel in San Jose, California, followed by a cremation service at 4:00pm in Fremont, California. For those who wish to pay respects but cannot travel to California, there will be an inurnment held in New York at a later date, with details to be announced. No flowers or gifts please; we would love it if you shared a memory or photos of Aaron instead.
