Obituary
After fighting the good fight against cancer, Loris Desa peacefully passed away on July 2nd, 2015, two weeks shy of his 42nd birthday. He was surrounded by his loving wife and soulmate Roopa, daughter Kaitlyn, and son Kevin. Loris was a devoted father, son, godfather and husband. He was loved and respected by all those who knew him. Loris was notorious for his quick wit and quirky sense of humor as evidenced in his love for Seinfeld. He never shied away from a great food experience and would drive any distance to find a great restaurant.
As he bravely battled cancer armed with the knowledge of his disease that even surprised his doctors, Loris’ resolve, positive attitude and selfless virtue inspired all those around him. His childlike spirit and magical persona was reflected in the way he loved his Kaitlyn and Kevin. In addition to his joie de vivre he was a logical and progressive thinker, but most of all he was a man with a deep-rooted faith in God and his church. Loris will be missed, but never forgotten, by all those whose lives he touched.
The family requests that Loris’ fight against cancer be continued by donations made to the City of Hope, in lieu of flowers.

Loris was an extraordinary team member at AACN. He was highly respected by his team due to his knowledge, calm demeanor and leadership by example. The internal customers that he worked with always gave him high praise for his professionalism, respect and the way he honored his commitments. Even when his was going through his treatments, he always had a positive attitude and never made any excuses for not getting his job done. This selflessness and resolve was an inspiration to us all.
I remember visiting him at the City of Hope one day after a very rough treatment course. It was clear that he was not feeling well, but as soon I mentioned what was going on at work, he started wanting to problem solve with me. He clearly preferred to contribute and feel valued rather than focus on his illness and what he was going through.
On a personal note, Loris was always very kind and compassionate. He loved his family dearly and would always talk about how the kids were growing so fast. He will be deeply missed by his AACN family as a team member, manager, mentor, peer and friend!
I wanted to give my most sincere condolences to his family.

Dear Uncle Loris:
I am going to miss you so much. When I think of you, I remember your smile. I also will never forget your magic and how you always had a special treat for me when I saw you.
I love you and am so glad that you were my godfather.
