Quyen Quan, 74, passed away Thursday March 5, 2009 in Oklahoma City. He was born in Canton, China on November 5, 1934. He was a loving father whose sole purpose in life was to dedicate himself to his family. He possessed a curious mind that led him to vocations that included dispenser of Chinese herbal medicine and practitioner of Chinese “chiropractic” techniques in his adopted homeland of Vietnam. In 1981, he and 10 family members escaped Vietnam on a fishing boat as one of many “boat people” to Malaysia. For the next twelve months, he and his family endured living in two refugee camps before immigrating to the US and reuniting with remaining family members in 1982. Upon arriving in the new country, he opened Miriwa restaurant in order to achieve the American dream so that his children could have freedom and better lives.
