Kind, sensitive, always ready to help. Everything he took on, he did conscientiously and strived for perfection and completeness in everything. He was a versatile person - he was engaged in apartment and house repairs using all modern technologies and tools, studied 3D Max modeling, loved cycling, hiking in the mountains. Due to health restrictions, he did not serve in the army and could have not gone to fight, but he did it at the call of his heart and from the beginning of the full-scale invasion he volunteered. During his military service, he enjoyed well-deserved authority among his comrades-in-arms. He was well-motivated, reliable and responsible and always supported the morale of his comrades-in-arms. Eternal memory to the Hero!" - said his sister Yulia. The defender left behind his parents, brother and sister.
