Suzanne Whang Death
Suzanne Whang died on September 17, 2019 in her Los Angeles home after a 13-year long battle with cancer. She was 56. Whang’s death was confirmed by her partner, Jeff Vezain, in a statement on her website and on Facebook. The statement states:
“Suzanne Whang (1962-2019). A lifetime of love, adventure, humor and bliss now lives in our memories. On Tuesday evening (September 17th) around 7:20 pm, Suzanne breathed her last breath here at home, as I knelt beside her and caressed her. For thirteen years she confronted cancer with courage, humor, determination and optimism. She was immensely encouraged by the love of her family, friends and those she had yet to meet.
“Your kind, loving messages always lifted her spirits. I know she would prefer that her life be celebrated, as opposed to her passing mourned, but I also know how vehemently she disagreed with anyone being told, “Don’t cry.” So…cry if you will. I’ve been crying a LOT! And laughing…and everything in between. It’s all part of life, but laughter was a staple of our dynamic. Her audacious sense of humor blessed many, shocked a few, but allowed us to laugh in the face of adversity. She was an amazing daughter, sister, friend, mentor and advocate.
“As I, her family and her closest friends process her transition, we ask for your prayers and loving thoughts. We have appreciated all of the kind words and memories shared on her Facebook page. It has brought much comfort. As I say good bye to a soul who was more than a true love, but also a best friend and an intellectual and spiritual book-end, know that we may not be able to respond to queries, but will try to keep you updated. Thank you.”
HGTV, the network on which House Hunters airs, also released a statement following Whang’s death: “Suzanne was warm, funny and kind with a distinctive voice that made everyone feel at home. Our HGTV family mourns her loss and wishes to express deepest condolences to her friends, fans and family who knew and loved her.”

Suzanne Whang Breast Cancer – Suzanne Whang Tumor
Whang was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. She kept her fans updated with her health throughout her cancer journey. In February 2019, she posted a photo of her bare chest, revealing a large tumor sitting between her breasts. “Yep, that’s a photo of my chest,” she wrote. “I have 3 t-ts now, and the tumor is bigger than both of my other t-ts combined! Sheesh. I just wanted you to see what I’m dealing with. It’s much more aggressive than the cancer I had in 2011, so I’ve had to increase my dosage of targeted immunotherapy, which is quite costly.”
In 2015, while in remission, Whang was profiled by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health where she talked openly about her struggles with cancer and mental health.
