A Tribute to Brenda Huang, President Emeritus of ForeverGreen Worldwide

We are deeply saddened by the death of our beloved ForeverGreen President, Brenda Huang. After a brave battle, Brenda passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 17.

Brenda was kindhearted, beautiful, loving and touched the lives of the many people who were lucky enough to meet her. While Brenda is no longer with us, her memories and spirit will always remain with us. #BrendaStrong

Please read below for a tribute letter about Brenda from Ron Williams.

“I must first acknowledge all who have encountered me these past few months, the dimming of the lights, the hole in my soul, doing all of this without the yin of my yang, our President, Brenda Huang. Because she was so bright, healthy and brilliant, I saw her as invincible. There was a magic; a balance in our indescribable relationship. She was somewhere in between a sister, a best friend and a business spouse. The sister would always give me honest feedback. The best friend would love unconditionally and always knew the right time to trade in a stress reducing shoulder rub. The business spouse made me look worlds better than I ever was or will ever be. Brenda and I only had the highest form of respect and integrity in our relationship, since the day we met just before the launch of ForeverGreen. It was as pure and as close one can be without ever crossing certain lines. Trust and openness were an understatement with Brenda and me.
I knew right out of the gates that Brenda was special, brilliant and very progressive in business. I have never met anyone that could see the cause and effect in real time the way that Brenda did. I think she just tolerated the rest of us so that we could only catch up to her. Yes, she was patient, even long suffering, working with the rest of us. However, the greatest experience was witnessing her personal growth over 12 years while at ForeverGreen. I watched her evolve from a very matter-of-fact business woman to a world leader, an ambassador and living proof of the ForeverGreen message.
I have so many fond memories from long layovers, loud laughter, eating her packed lunches when she was not looking, to her love and compassion for Maron. I have hugged Brenda at least a thousand times. There was something about our relationship, where the lines were never in question. We never needed to discuss it, the energy just was and it was beautiful.

ForeverGreen planted itself into the future from day one. With that came many risks and timely challenges. One of those risks was losing good personnel as we stood and honored the test as it pertained to our vision. Of course, many companies came calling. Everyone wanted Brenda; this beautiful, brilliant woman that was an expert in our industry and spoke six to seven languages to boot. They offered to double her pay, percentages of sales, even equity in start-ups. Not Brenda; she chose to be in surrender to a vision bigger than all of us. I am shaken by this thought as God knows the challenges we have endured together. I am also happy to announce that Brenda leaves equity in ForeverGreen to her beautiful family in which I intend to see through its benefits and rewards.

On a very personal note, I thought I was prepared for her passing, but I was wrong. I never knew my aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. so in actuality I have never had any one close to me pass. Brenda is my first. I spoke to her four days ago and it was another re-run of a thousand calls before. There was nothing different other than her life was in the balance. She asked for my advice and I told her to live every second the same way she has always lived. We had scheduled for me to fly to Taiwan and chaperon her back to ForeverGreen so she could say her goodbyes to her precious and prized ForeverGreen family. The next day her doctor ruled out that idea. I am happy to say that Brenda chose to live in the way that only Brenda could. I am also happy to say that ForeverGreen was there for her and her family until her last earthly breath. Live or die, that’s how we roll, family is first and Brenda was and continues to be the matriarch of ForeverGreen. Today, all that matters to me are the things that really count, and that is love, family and relationships.
Brenda’s passing may instill fear or anxiety in many of us as we measure how much of our time is spent on nonsense. Greed, power, jealousy, hate, things of carnal nature that eventually separate us from our divinity. All of which remind me to declare my faith in our creator. There are too many perfect and unexplainable elements on this planet to ever be in question. Things like gravity, rainbows and their divine colors, talents, love, intimacy and for God’s sake…CHILDREN. If a child does not reveal God then nothing does or ever will.
Brenda did not resist her fate; she embraced it in the same way she embraced all matters. In spite of her pain, invasive surgeries and medications, she was actually at peace and in a great place. She was flat-out sharp. She asked me to express to all how her encounter with ForeverGreen not only prepared her for life but for her death as well. Her feathers remained gracefully intact. She is a hero and an inspiration to us all on how to live. She is and always will be President Emeritus of ForeverGreen Worldwide.
To me this means there really is no need to compartmentalize any area of our lives and that in all situations, we get to only choose the things that matter most. I will always love and miss you, Brenda. Thank you again for showing me, and all of us, our next.”
