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.

In life, how often do you get to meet and become good friends with a person born on the same date, in the same month and year as you. I remember your unique voice that often got caught by teachers in the classroom. I remember your quirky sense of humour. I remember your kindness towards others.
My birthdays will never be the same and I miss you dearly Loris.

I will always remember Loris for his kindness, helpfulness and willingness to take that extra step for a friend. Faded blue jeans, a smile on his face, walking down the corridors in Khandola, sometimes with a handkerchief tied around his neck.
Wonderful memories will endure.
Rest in peace Loris.

When Loris was about 3 years old, he would often be standing at the window above our pharmacy, singing the Happy Birthday song aloud to the world outside.
My classmates who would hear him as they walked past on their way to school, would joke ‘How many times in a week does your little brother celebrate his birthday ?.’
Well, today he celebrates his first one up there with the angels in heaven. So difficult to believe and accept he’s no longer with us.
Happy Birthday Loris….Miss you so much.
Love, Elvis.
