He grew up during tumultuous times in South Korea and served three years of mandatory service in the armed forces. He married Yong Ja Ji in the late 1960s and had two sons. Seeking a better life—and with help from his older sister and her husband—he took his family to America. He worked for his family to provide them a decent life, which he succeeded in doing. The Waco Korean United Methodist Church was his local Christian family. He was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife, Yong Ja Ji; his eldest son, Dongchun Ji; and his second son, Peter Ji.
