Ivan's obituary

Ivan M Sarch passed away January 9, 2010 at only 40 years old. Ivan was not married, nor any children. Ivan was survived by his parents and sisters. There were verbal arguments between Ivan and other family members, but Ivan and his older sister always fought both physically and verbally even as toddlers to teenage years, and never spoke to each other as adults though his relationship with his parents and younger sister were cordial many times and there was never physical fighting. Ivan even at times helped with occasional chores around the home and would try to fix things such as electronics, plumbing, etc. Ivan used to enjoy going to the beach, boogie boarding, a huge interest in electronics and tinkering with electronics even as a kid, computers, video games, etc. Ivan worked full time before and after graduating high school such as at FoodTown. Ivan loved animals, he loved all the family dogs, his younger sister’s hamsters, and when he worked at Petland Discounts for several years, he bought several 20-50 gallon aquariums filled with coral, saltwater fish (seahorses, Convicts, Oscars, etc.). He also had small lizards like chameleons, 3 ferrets, and his own dog for a short time. With his father's financial help, Ivan trained at Suburban Tech receiving a diploma in Electronic Technology and worked for several years full time in jobs that required that training before until his passing. Throughout the years, Ivan mostly shunned all alcohol (inherited by his father), and nearly all drugs that most of his friends and off/on older often loudly arguing girlfriend he met through his older sister chose often to use to the detriment of their careers and/or lives. After several car accidents and other back injury incidents at various heavy lifting jobs, Ivan had severe chronic back pain that he was subscribed oxytocin for. After many years of being prescribed oxytocin, he still complained of pain and had many bouts of narcolepsy after work until he passed. His father with his immediate family had a quiet dinner at a restaurant with many extended family, friends of several immediate family, and co-workers a few weeks after his passing.
