Desi was the kindest man who loved our daughter with his whole heart! Desi was so thoughtful he always put others before himself.  He saw me struggling to put on my boots. A few days later I got a shoe horn delivered from Amazon. This was just the kind hearted thoughtful thing Desi would do. 

His laugh was one of a kind. Desi’s sense of humor was one of the best things about him. He always had us laughing.

 He will be missed but never forgotten!  We love you Desi you will always be in our heart. 

Desi is my Brother-in-Law yes but he is also my brother. We had so many laughs together. Each time leaving my face would be sore for a week from all the laughter. He had this way about him that just drew you to him. Like no matter what he had my back. At the most random times he’d reach out with a note or some inside joke we’d have and my day was all of a sudden brighter. I only knew him a short time but feel like we grew up together.  I’d joke that “Me and Him went to different schools together.”  That’s how he’d make you feel. So many times he’d say something and it was like he read my mind. I could go on and on about him. I’m really torn up tonight knowing I won’t see him for a while. But I know he’s watching out for me from where he is. One of the things he told me when I first found out he was going through this was to “Never forget how awesome you are.”  That was quite some time ago but I still pull that text up every now and then and it brings me comfort and strength no matter what I’m going through at the moment.  Lately I’ve had to look up his words more and more and it’s gotten me through some difficult moments. Even when he was going through this he wanted me to know that he was with me and had my back. I’ll never forget that about him.

I love you my brother. One day on the other side I know we’ll pick up where we left off and I’ll get to hear your laugh again. Until then please know we will be there for Ashley.  I’ll always remember how you were there for me. 

My heart is heavy in hearing of Desi’s passing. I was lucky enough to have met Desi when he worked in the travel industry. He was truly a “gentle man”. Polite, respectful, kind, smart, great sense of humor and had the best laugh! He would help anyone, and had one of the biggest hearts. Really one of a kind. 

Condolences to his family. 

Rest in peace Desi. 🙏
