In 2023, four strangers from the United States, Vietnam, Australia, and Canada crossed paths in an unexpected place—not a business forum or a university classroom, but inside the thrilling world of CS:GO. At first, they were just teammates, working together to win matches, teasing each other over voice chat, and laughing at mistakes. But as days turned into countless nights of gaming and conversation, they became something more than friends—they became family.
Among them was their Australian teammate. He was cheerful, always the one to lift the team’s spirit when they lost, always joking even during the toughest rounds. But behind his laughter was a truth he could not hide forever. One night, with a heavy voice, he told his friends:
“I’m sick… seriously sick. The doctors say I don’t have as much time as most people. But before I go, I have one dream: to build something lasting, something that makes people happy. I want to create an online store where shopping is simple and joyful, so that even after I’m gone, the happiness I shared with you can live on.”
The silence that followed was heavy—but then it turned into determination. His friends from the U.S., Vietnam, and Canada promised: “We will help you. Your dream will not fade.”
In 2025, after two years of friendship through screens and headsets, the four finally met in person. It was more than just a meeting—it was the proof of loyalty, love, and an unshakable bond. In that moment, they turned his dream into their shared mission, and HappyDay Market was born.
Today, under the slogan “The simplest way to shop – anytime, anywhere”, HappyDay Market is more than a marketplace. It is a legacy, a living tribute to a friend from Australia whose courage and dream continue to inspire every order, every smile, and every happy day.
In the months that followed, their Australian friend’s health grew weaker. Yet, even as his strength faded, his eyes lit up whenever he saw the store slowly coming to life his dream taking shape. Not long after HappyDay Market was founded, he passed away peacefully, surrounded not by silence, but by the love and promises of his friends.
Though he is no longer here, every order placed, every package shipped, and every smile brought to a customer carries his spirit. HappyDay Market is not just a business it is a living memory, a celebration of friendship, and a reminder that even in the face of life’s hardest battles, dreams can live on.
His laughter, his courage, and his dream remain with us forever. And with every Happy Day we bring to our customers, we honor him.
From John, Tin, and Henry to Leo:
“Leo, our brother, our friend, our light.
You taught us that life isn’t about how long we live, but how much love and joy we leave behind. Every step we take with HappyDay Market is a step we take for you. We see your smile in every milestone, we hear your laughter in every late-night idea, and we feel your spirit guiding us forward.
You may not be here in person, but you are with us in every heartbeat of this journey. This store is not just ours—it will forever be yours. We promise you, Leo: your dream lives on, and the world will remember you through every Happy Day we create.”
