Loris Longo
elevated sTzQC In Loving Memory of Loris Longo
elevated sTzQC July 1, 1967 – May 18, 2025
elevated sTzQC It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Loris Longo, who left us far too soon at the age of 57. Loris has found peace and is now resting in the loving embrace of God, reunited with his cherished parents, Elvio and Mirella Longo.
elevated sTzQC Loris was a kind and compassionate man, known for his quiet strength and the deep love he held for his family. Though he faced challenges throughout his life that many could not fully understand, Loris always carried himself with humility and warmth that touched everyone he encountered. He was fiercely devoted to his family, offering them love, support, and protection in ways that were felt deeply, yet rarely spoken of. His family—his sister Sonia Garofalo and her husband Jim, his niece Jessica, and nephew Lucas and his fiancée Caitlin—were the center of his world, and he was theirs.
elevated sTzQC Beneath the surface of his struggles was a spirit full of empathy and resilience. Loris’s love was unconditional, and his caring nature shone through in the quiet, everyday ways he made life a little brighter for those around him. He was a brother, an uncle, a son, and a friend who gave his all, even when he asked for nothing in return.
elevated sTzQC Though Loris’s journey on Earth has ended, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who loved him. His family and friends take comfort in knowing that he is now free from pain and surrounded by eternal peace. His legacy of love, kindness, and strength will forever guide and inspire those who remain.
elevated sTzQC May we honor Loris by carrying forward the love he so freely shared, and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Rest in peace, dear Loris—you will forever be loved, and your spirit will always remain in our hearts.
elevated sTzQC Forever in our hearts.

Sonia and family – I was so sorry to hear about Loris’ passing. Though it’s been years, I still hold many fond memories of him.
He was incredibly kind, with a voice and laugh I can still hear when I close my eyes. I’ll always remember our early mornings and late nights watching Formula 1 races—his passion was infectious.
He often spoke of how much he loved and cared for his family. Please know my thoughts are with all of you during this time.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Mirka
