Sasha was like a little sun that illuminates and warms everything around with its presence. Despite everything, because over the years of service he has seen a lot of grief, injustice and losses, he never lost that spark in his eyes and deeds that gave hope for the beautiful. Always cheerful, with positive thoughts, sincere, kind. He loved children very much... I love you, you will be forever in my heart, thoughts, memories. I know that when it's difficult for me, Sasha from heaven helps me in all my endeavors and protects me from all troubles. You are my guardian angel, forever in the ranks, my Hero," his wife Yulia wrote. "Sashka was always surrounded by the best people. At work, he gave it his all, cared more about others than himself. His sincere smile, which made everyone around smile... Oleksandr was not only a good warrior, but also a wonderful brother. He was a part of me. I am grateful to him for always being there, for our daily conversations. I really miss his openness, his laughter. He was very kind and always, when he had the opportunity, helped people. I know that one day we will meet and I will hear his familiar voice again. Forgive me for not protecting you. I will hug you again. Hug you as never before. My Hero. I am proud of you, you know that. The memory of you will live on as long as I am," added his sister Alina. The defender was buried in the village of Vita-Poshtova in the Kyiv region.
