Today, the Velikomosti community bade farewell to its Hero — Ivan Naganchuk.
Ivan was not only a warrior but also a remarkable person. He was courageous, dedicated, and sincere. From the first days of the full-scale invasion in 2022, he stood up for Ukraine without hesitation. As a combat medic, he saved comrades under the harshest conditions. His heart stopped on the front line, but he remained loyal to his oath, homeland, and people until his last breath.
His wife, two children, brother, sisters, and the entire large family remain in unspeakable grief. The Velikomosti community gathered in numbers to see the Hero off on his last journey with military honors, an orchestra, and a military salute.
The flag that draped the coffin was handed to his wife. The flag, with which he went into his last battle, now remains with her as a symbol of his bravery, loyalty, and love. War is cruel; it takes our finest warriors.
But the memory of Ivan will live forever. In his children, in the hearts of those he rescued, in our community, and in the freedom for which he fought.
Eternal memory to the Hero. Eternal glory to the Defender. We will never forget.
