********************************
He was a man of rare character—humble, yet proud, with a strong inner core.
He deeply loved his family, and despite the distance, he was always close to us in heart. Living in Canada, he could spend hours talking with our parents, supporting them, sharing his thoughts, and simply being there in the way only he knew how.
We did not speak as often as I wish we had, but my love for him and my concern for him were always with me. I sincerely wanted everything to work out for him and for him to achieve all that he dreamed of.
To me, he will forever remain my beloved brother—a man I was proud of and loved deeply.
I especially cherish the memories of our time together at our parents’ home—playing table tennis, laughing, and simply enjoying each other’s company. We often gathered with friends around a bonfire, grilling шашлык, and sharing those simple yet truly meaningful moments.
Long ago, we were also united by music—it was a part of our shared life and some of my fondest memories.
He was genuine—kind, reserved, and strong. And that is how he will forever remain in my heart and memory.
With love,
Vitalii Ishchenko
