When people found out on the internet that chef Hans Korompis had died, they sent his family a lot of thoughts and prayers.
Many of the chef’s fans have praised him and thought of him as a humble, self-sufficient man.
His family posted on Facebook that he had died, and they have since asked for money to help them through this hard time.
What Happened to Hans Korompis?
Hans Korompis, a young and talented chef, died, and his family confirmed it, even though the exact cause of death is still unknown.
When his family makes the announcement is unknown until the details of his funeral and eulogy are made public.
Still, after he died, his family wrote an obituary and set up a GoFundMe account to ask for donations.
Also, the MARKET brand only came about because they tried to match the Chef with the Restaurant instead of the Restaurant with the Chef.
Hans took the brand and made it his own by coming up with dishes like Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab, Lemongrass Shrimp & Grits, and their famous Lobster & Crab Rolls. These dishes were inspired by the Pacific Northwest and Asia.
Through his efforts, Downtown Seattle and Edmonds got a new type of food that quickly caught the attention of food influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Hans Korompis is said to have had an accident while scuba diving in Mukilteo, Washington. His family never heard from him again after he went diving.
On July 17, the news said that a man from Edmonds had gone missing while taking a dive for fun. Even though they looked for him for two days and covered more than 100 square miles of water, they couldn’t find him.
On Friday, the fire and police departments in Mukilteo responded to a call for help at Lighthouse Park. Two divers went into the water, but only one of them came back to shore.
The Coast Guard said that the weather was bad both on and near the water, which was reported by the news outlet. The search for the diver took two days, and during that time, the rescue team used a drone and a boat with sonar for several hours.
