Today, the community of Ivano-Frankove says farewell to Lesyk Turko — a gifted Ukrainian musician, singer, and one of the founders of the band DZIDZIO. A native of the region, Lesyk dedicated his life to music and, during Ukraine’s time of need, joined the Armed Forces to defend his homeland.
Following the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion, he enlisted in the Ukrainian army, showing true courage and patriotism.
In December 2024, he suffered cardiac arrest and underwent a complex surgery. Despite serious health challenges, Lesyk continued to fight for his life, sharing his sincerity, warm smile, and deep love for music with the world.
His bright talent, kindness, and inner light will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
The farewell service will be held today, November 22, at 7:00 PM at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Novoyavorivsk.
The funeral will begin tomorrow, November 23, at 12:00 PM. Lesyk will be buried in Ivano-Frankove.
