Our dear friend Thomas Corsaut passed away on Friday, May 20, 2022. Thomas was born in Highland, California. He loved his family and spoke fondly of his childhood; his bike riding adventures in the desert and foothills of San Bernardino. He spoke lovingly of his mother’s baking and his father being an aviation mechanic. He lived most recently in La Habra, California. He was a loving brother and uncle and an amazing friend to all of us.
Thomas was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a very aggressive brain cancer with an average survival rate of about 15 months, in June of 2021. Because Glioblastoma effects the brain and its functions, he was unable to fully grasp the reality of his diagnosis and continued to maintain a positive outlook although the inevitable outcome would be fatal. He was a long time employee of Sakura Finetek, USA and had a good understanding of the cancer diagnostic process. He felt that understanding the diagnostic and testing process gave him a little comfort that he knew what to expect from the tests that were being performed.
We honor Thomas’s memory as he touched so many lives in the very best way. We are grateful that we got the chance to know him as both a colleague and a friend. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
