Yooshin Cha

Yooshin "Yooshi" Cha, 44, passed away on February 23, 2025, in Sunnyside, Washington.  

Born on December 7, 1980, in Inchon, South Korea Yooshin later moved to Sunnyside, where he graduated from Sunnyside High School in 1999. He was known for his humor and his love of conversation—always ready with a joke or a story to share.  

Yooshin found great joy in spending time on the golf course whenever he had free time and was dedicated to staying active through workouts. However, nothing brought him more happiness than his family. He deeply loved and adored his daughter, Bella Cha, taking immense pride in all of her accomplishments. His partner, Clara Rufina, was the love of his life, and their bond was one he cherished dearly.  

Yooshin is survived by his parents, Jong Won and Young Cha; his sisters, Reyne Cha and Karley Beckord; his beloved partner, Clara Rufina; and his daughter, Bella Cha.  

Yooshin's presence will be deeply missed by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who loved him.
