An obituary for mathematics professor, Joseph A. Shalika who passed away on Sep 18, 2010 at the age of 69 is presented. Shalika's sharp intelligence and talent, together with his cheerful and kind personality very quickly attracted a lot of people to work with him having a warm friendship that lasted throughout his life. A large portion of his career was devoted to the theory of L-functions for GL(n), a rich theory of zeta functions which occupies an important chapter in number theory that play a central role in the theory of automorphic forms and the Langlands program that allowed to classify automorphic representations of GL(n) over number fields. His career continued to the end of his life working mainly on arithmetic aspects of the theory.
