Sayan was a deeply kind person, often helping others through difficult situations. He loved telling stories to both adults and children. His vast knowledge—of history, science, music, mythology, and just about everything—meant you never quite knew what the story would be about, but it almost always ended with a ridiculous punchline. He was also an incredible cook who enjoyed preparing delicious feasts for friends. There were so many things to love about Sayan. His loss is deeply felt.
