Local celebrity Dennis Chew shared that his father passed away peacefully on February 12. In an Instagram post remembering his father, he wrote: 'You always made sure no one had to worry and left so quietly. You always thought of others first and yourself last. You always had compassion for stray animals—our home nearly became a zoo." He also expressed gratitude, thanking his dad for giving him an "optimistic personality" and a "one-of-a-kind sense of humour".
周崇庆悲曝父亲今早（2月12日）11am许安详离世。
周崇庆昨天（11日）才开心分享从义安理工学院修读3年华文传媒系毕业，也把好消息告诉了父亲，不料今早传来父亲离世的噩耗，悲喜交加。周崇庆形容父亲为人：“你总是不要人家担心，静悄悄地走了。你总是先想到别人，最后才想到自己。你总是怜悯路边的动物，家里差点变成动物园。你总是把钱塞给朋友，宁可自己那个月饿肚子。”
周爸爸也遗传了乐观的性格，还有那独树一帜的幽默感给儿子。周崇庆对爸爸说：“谢谢你教会我如何用心做人，我一直在践行着。谢谢你带我去大华戏院，看了我人生中的第一部电影。谢谢你教会我欣赏黄梅调的美。谢谢你，接受了最原本的我。
“爸爸，谢谢你把我带到这个美丽的世界。你放心，我会好好地生活。爱你，非常爱你。”
周崇庆过去曾透露，年迈父亲近年身体欠佳，之前曾进出医院。
