Oleksiy Filimonov
29.07.1980 – 02.12.2024
Oleksiy was born in the gentle summer of 1980. He was a child like any other – bringing joy to his family and loved ones. Yet, he had one remarkable trait: from a young age, he had a special sensitivity to the world of beauty and living things – he found joy in every little blade of grass.
He studied at Kharkiv School No. 35 and was a good student. Oleksiy read a lot, wrote poetry, and was passionate about chess – often winning in tournaments.
After finishing school, Oleksii enrolled in a technical college majoring in Repair and Maintenance of Medical Equipment. However, his creative nature drew him toward more natural and tactile pursuits.
At different times, Oleksiy worked as a shoemaker, crafted custom furniture, and engaged in painting and other hands-on work that called for a sense of aesthetics.
His last civilian job was with the support service of the NGO "Volunteer-68". Even in this emotionally demanding role, Oleksiy proved to be a compassionate and responsible person.
Oleksiy joined the Armed Forces in 2024 and served in the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade "Magura", in the 2nd Engineer-Sapper Unit.
Oleksiy Serhiiovych was killed in action in the Kursk region of Russian Federation on December 2, 2024. He left behind a grieving daughter, brother, and mother.
Glory Eternal!
