On March 18, Jan Catherine Sy, SMDC AVP and eldest daughter of Henry Sy Jr., passed away. Everyone at Dot Property sends our deepest sympathies and prayers to her family and the team at SMDC. She was 29-years old.
The Sy family statement posted a statement on Facebook, “Dear family and friends, tonight, March 18, 2021 at 6:35pm, our dearest daughter Jan Catherine Sy is now with the Lord Jesus already. Blessed be the name of the Lord. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be your name!”
Ms Jan was known for her faith, creativity and selflessness. As SMDC AVP, she was a leading proponent of the company’s The Good Guys campaign. The program found new ways to make a positive impact, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She cited Luke 12:48 as SMDC’s motivation behind The Good Guys program:
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
Despite her high profile, Ms Jan never felt comfortable taking the credit. Instead, she was always quick to point out the hard work, dedication and passion of everyone involved. The efforts of the SMDC team and everyone’s contributions, no matter how big or small, were a huge source of pride for her.
Ultimately, Ms Jan wanted the world to be a better place for everyone through community spirit and wanting to do good for others. She will truly be missed.
