Mr. Xiang Li of Hoffman Estates

Xiang Li, 33, of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Loving son of Jianhua Li and Karen Li, nee Huang; cherished grandson of Shijun (Shuqin Li) Zhu, Caiyun (Hanlin Tang) Zhu, Wenda Huang, Baojing Zhang and Huarong Wang; cherished nephew of Jianguo (Liqin Zhang) Li, Lida (Jianting Wang) Li, Shuanglin (Weidong Wang) Huang, Xun Zhang, Chen Zhang, Guohong Zhu, Guibao Zhu, Chunhong Tang, Chunfang Tang, Wentong Tang, Zhong (Ping Liu) Huang, Yong Jin and Tao Jin; beloved cousin of Qianni (Peng Su) Li, Tao (Hui Fang) Wang, Zihao Wang and Yujun Huang. Xiang Li passed away in his sleep at home in Hoffman Estates on Sunday, 12th of March at the age of 33. Born in Beijing, but moved to Chicago at 6 years old with Mom and Dad, Xiang graduated from Lincoln Park High School in Chicago, and attended Harper College, UIC and UIUC over the next few years and eventually got a Master's Degree in library science while working at the Palatine Library. When Xiang was little, he loved model cars and collected a lot of them, and enjoyed building LEGOs. He had a keen curiosity in all kinds of buttons he could get a hand on, mostly on electrics. He was passionate about sports, started watching Federer playing tennis in his high school years and later became a huge Blackhawks fan during the three championship years in the 2010s. Mom and Dad would want to watch movies on the TCM channel but Xiang would want to watch the game. Competing for air time eventually ended up Mom and Dad joining him in cheering for our teams together. Xiang started to build computers himself as a teenager and had been an expert giving Mom and Dad advice on what to buy for electronics. Xiang enjoyed his work at the Palatine Library and loved the library community he served. Xiang's sudden passing shattered the heart of everyone in the family. Mom and Dad cherish every day and every moment of their beloved son's short life.
