Facebook Executive Chef Josef Desimone was killed in a motorcycle wreck that occurred Monday morning, according to a post by company CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg, who lured Desimone away from Google, did not give details about the accident, including where it happened.
"Josef was a Facebook legend and institution," Zuckerberg wrote, recalling how "Chef Josef" joined the company in 2008 and "built our culinary team from a handful of employees in a single caf? into a global team with dozens of world-class restaurants."
"He never compromised on quality while maintaining total attention to detail. Josef played an incredibly important role in defining our culture during those first years and right up to the present."
Away from Facebook, Desimone regularly volunteered for veterans? organizations and firefighter breakfasts, Zuckerberg wrote.
"We will find a way to permanently honor Josef?s legacy at Facebook soon. For now, let?s remember and celebrate the passing of a great friend, devoted mentor and inspirational leader," he wrote.
