Chris Cordaro, a longtime New Orleans Saints employee for whom punter Thomas Morstead recently led a fundraiser, died Monday (July 30) after a three-year cancer battle, the team announced Tuesday.
He was 39.
Cordaro joined the Saints in 2005 as a ticket sales account executive and was promoted in 2008 to corporate partnership sales, according to the team. The Ruston native stayed with the team after he began his battle with high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma in the pancreas, liver, bone, spine, scalp and multiple lymph nodes, an aggressive form of cancer.
He is survived by his wife, Jessalynn; daughter, Ava; and son, Landon.
