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.

“Length of years is no proper test of length of life. A man’s life is to be measured by what he does in it and what he feels in it.” – Samuel Smiles
Although I worked with Loris briefly, he left a wonderful impression as a gentle giant. It was admirable how he would approach his work not only from a rational perspective but also from its impact on others. He was kind and cared about others feelings.
I’m sorry for your loss and know his spirit lives on in all those he touched,
