In Paradiso, Dante arranges the people of pardise in concentric circles around God. This is because it's too much too look directly at the light of God but you can look at the light reflected off the people. Each person reflects a different aspect of God, allowing you to see infinitely more light.

For him then, the loss of one person deprives everyone of an infinite knowledge of God's light.
