Petro Tymofiiovych Papayevych left an unforgettable mark on the hearts of many people.
Today, a farewell to the brave Defender took place. Family, friends, comrades, and fellow villagers gathered near his home, in the church, and at the cemetery to pay their last respects to the Hero.
His son Nazar, also a soldier, stood by with a heart full of indescribable pain for his father: “Dad, I will stand… I will defend… I will become even stronger… We cannot be broken…”
Petro’s wife, daughters, and grandchildren, with eyes full of sorrow and love, felt immense pain, but their pride for their husband and father remained undiminished. The Hero left them with the strength of his heart, his love for Ukraine, and an example that will live in their hearts forever.
Today, a father, husband, grandfather, comrade, neighbor departed — one who never hid behind others, who always led, who knew how to support with word and deed. Those like Petro Tymofiiovych do not disappear. They live on in their children, in their deeds, in their land which they loved until their last breath. They live in every prayer, in every grateful thought, in every step we take toward victory.
We bow low to you, Hero 🙏 And we will continue to stand. For You. For Ukraine 🇺🇦
