Thank you for caring for people in a way they knew you cared, for advocating for those that often could be overlooked, and for teaching so many who will be providers just like you for many years to come. I appreciated your laugh, your humor and how you partnered with the team to provide the best care. You will be missed

Dr. Losli had an unforgettable laugh. I remember being in the ER and he asked the doc, “are you giving my boy hell? You should be!” He will be missed for his straight-shooting honest conversations. Such a loss for our hospital and an even larger loss for his family.

The start of the summer of 1971 I moved next door to Stuart Schmidt and he was best friends with Steve. Us three hung out all summer that year. There was the two cutest guys and me. lol. I also remember the time that Rick Fermelia was talking about when Steve got hit in the eyebrow when Lincoln School had a piñata. Dave Bozner was the one who hit Steve. In Dave’s defense what happened was Dave hit the piñata and one piece of candy fell out to the ground and Steve wanted it real bad. He jumped in after the piece that hit the ground when Dave was swinging to hit it again. Needless to say but Dave hit a home run unfortunately we weren’t playing baseball. There was a lot of blood and all of the girls were mad at Dave just like Rick said. It is ironic because Dave and I were just talking about it two or three weeks ago. One other memory of Steve is that Lincoln School had a field trip to the Fine Arts Center and Steve and I both liked Keri Novotny. Well needless to say I had one of my friends go to her and tell her that I liked her and to talk me up so she would like me. I didn’t know at Steve had one of his friends doing the same. I had a girl in our class come and tell me that Keri said she would go out with me. I was all happy then I found out that it was Steve.

I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Steve and I grew up together until I moved away. As kids, there was a group of us who used to run between E and F Street playing night games and getting into trouble. In elementary school Steve had a great set of hands, he was the best “wide receiver”. How befitting that he used those great hands to care for others as a doctor. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Very sorry to hear about this loss. Steve was a very nice guy all the way around probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I have been in Rock Springs now for almost 58 years and he is one of the people that really stood out in my life. Steve Would do anything for anyone. Very smart and I am proud to say I knew him. Losing more and more friends from school and life as time goes on and the years pile on. So sorry for his Family and the many many friends Steve had. See you on the other side my friend.

My heart breaks for Steve’s kids...and all of us. Steve was such a kind and compassionate person. We used to round together on weekends at Emanuel and I got to know him well over the past 27 years. He happened to be in the ED once when I brought my then 4 year old in after she had gotten into some robitussin with codeine. He was totally charmed by my girl, who clearly had not had too much of the cough suppressant as she buzzed around the room. Ever after, he would ask about her...we always talked about our kids and he was so proud of his! He will be missed.

1981, UC San Diego, Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, USA

I met Steve one night in a dorm room a short time after we started our freshman year at UC San Diego. He arrived with an entourage sporting a serious but playful look. We played "quaters" and life long friends. In those days we both dreamed about becoming doctors. We occasionally crossed paths late nights in the libraries. On some weekends we would talk philosophy. The existentialist was top on our list. "Life has no meaning except the meaning you choose to give it". Steve was precocious in his understanding of philosophy. Way beyond myself and others his age.
He was a natural athlete and loved competing. His junior year at UCSD he competed in an intramural decathlon event. Competitors had to high jump, run several events, kick field goals, and bowl etc. He broke the school record. I entered the next year and my score was close.
Today I am an MD hospitalist just as he was.
I am going to miss you! Rest in piece.
I will be attending the memorial and will make a contribution when I get there.

1968, Rock Springs, WY, USA

Steve and I grew up across the street from each other before 3 rd grade. Steve had got a telescope so one night were looking at the moon. It’s was incredible that we could see the craters and so much detail. So this had to have been like 1968 or 69. For us that was just an Awesome experience. Never forgot about it. After I moved and Steve was still in Lincoln school they were having a get together and had a piñata. David Bozner turn to try to hit it with blind fold on. Well hit Steve and not the piñata I believe in the head knocking him out. Was an awesome person and great kid to grow up with. Will be missed for sure. Fly High Buddy You Stuart Jimmy Jim and Kevin can now have an awesome Basketball Team. Play Hard Fly High Until we meet again RIP

We all struggle at times to find meaning in this crazy world. Me and Steve connected over that struggle (though we had football and BBQ too). I always admired his ability to connect with the people around him, no matter who they were. He had a unique gift for that, and that's one of many reasons he'll be missed by me and by so many others. May he rest in peace. My warmest condolences to the Losli family and to everyone else who is feeling this tremendous loss.

I worked with Steve at Emanuel Hospital for 10 years. One day I was wearing my Denver Broncos scrub top and he stopped me and told me what a big Broncos fan he was. From that moment on, whenever we saw each other we would talk about our beloved Broncos! One year for my birthday, he gave me a Denver Broncos duffel bag. I still have it. I will cherish it always. RIP my friend. You will be missed by all who knew you. Thank you for not just being a doctor I worked with, but also my friend.

I can see him now wheeling onto the unit with his white coat on and his coffee in hand. I will miss his bright eyes and impeccable wit. His authenticity was something I valued the most about him. I’m so sorry for your loss and hold you all in my heart. ❤️

Steve was an Internist at the St. Helens clinic when I started in 2006. I always remember how he made took me under his wings to show me the ropes and make me feel comfortable with the team. I appreciated it more than he ever knew. I was saddened to hear about his passing and send my deepest condolences to his family.

I went to grade school, Lincoln Elementary, and in sixth grade I remember we had a piñata at school. Some blindfolded kid swung and clocked Steve in the head. Blood everywhere and I remember all the cutest girls cried on his behalf. Steve was always the most popular kid in class. Steve had a scar on one of his brows from that. I remember Steve introducing me to a song on the radio called “Bohemian Rhapsody”. I still think Steve was one of the greatest guys I ever met - his positive philosophical outlook on life has literally always inspired me since way back then. He was one of a kind.

From working with him as my attending during residency to my colleague in LIMS, his presence will be so missed. He was so warm and had a story for everything. He was that doctor that his patients never forgot in the best possible of ways. He will live on in all of the people he trained, worked with, and treated.

Every time I got to work with Steve I knew I would laugh, I knew I would smile and I knew I would learn something. He once told me, " If you just listen to your patients, they will tell you almost everything you need to know". I came to understand, if I just listened to his banter, I would learn what I needed to know about becoming a better doctor, but more importantly, he could teach all of us how to be better people.
