John Christian DeMasi, MD

A really nice man. I am so sorry to hear he is gone. My GOD bless.
Stephen Duesler, one of his patients,

So sorry for the loss of such a talented and vibrantly-young doctor, who wanted to help eradicate this horrible disease process. Such a loss for this world. My heart goes out to his family and friends. ❤

I was deeply saddened to learn of John's passing. I had only met him once in the course of my treatment for parotid gland cancer, when he was in attendance at the Ellis Hospital Radiation and Oncology Department. I was so impressed with his demeanor of kindness, openness and a rare ability to be an attentive listener with thorough explanations, that I relayed my experience of meeting him that one time to numerous people. He clearly was a gift to all of those who met him through his work and I...

Only six weeks ago, John was treating me for my prostate cancer. I was stunned by the news of his sudden death. He was a caring, dedicated physician who exuded a sense of treating me as a person, not at all as a number. We spoke of Tar Heel basketball and his possible interest in fly fishing. He had a sense of humor and clearly was greatly appreciated and respected by his colleagues. I send my deepest sympathy at your loss.

I want you to know how kind and compassionate Dr. DeMasi during my radiation treatment last summer at Saratoga Hospital. He was a shining star in the lives of those of us undergoing treatment. I looked forward to our meetings. He made a real difference in our lives. I remember him telling me how he was looking forward to attending the North Carolina vs Syracuse basketball game, sadly he passed just days before the game. He will be greatly missed.

John has created a positive impact on so many people in his short lifetime. He has done it all with both bravery and compassion. May you enjoy your heavenly rewards, sweet soul! I feel extremely honored to call you my cousin.

Dr. Demasi, Judy and family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My Heart goes out to you. Love Anne Fitzgerald

I knew him as Dr. DeMasi and he was a bright spot during my radiation treatment. He was clearly a caring and committed physician. Most telling, the nurses spoke highly of him and I could tell that they were energized by him. Please find comfort in knowing how many people he touched in a very positive way. Thank you.

Kit & I are so sorry to hear of the John's passing. In our few short years of knowing him he was one of the most kind and caring individuals we've had the fortune of knowing. He was an excellent doctor, an excellent friend to both myself and Kit in the trying times of residency here at UK. John always had a positive outlook on life and he positively influenced all he encountered. We were truly heartbroken to hear the news and can only pass our sincere condolences. We loved John and will miss...
