Dmitri was a remarkable husband, father, brother and a friend What does father MEAN... A Father means so many things... A understanding heart, A source of strength and of support Right from the very start. A constant readiness to help In a kind and thoughtful way. With encouragement and forgiveness No matter what comes your way. A special generosity and always affection, too A Father means so many things When he`s a man like Dmitri, you know who This is what made Dmitri a great father What is a brother Brother ýýý pl. also brethýýýren (brýýTH`rýýn). One who shares a common ancestry, allegiance, character, or purpose with another or others, especially: a. A kinsman. b. A fellow man. c. A fellow member, as of trade union, d. A close male friend; a comrade. Allegiance ýýý commitment: the act of binding yourself (intellectually or emotionally) to a course of action , what a man!! his allegiance to his wife, his children, his brothers, his sister, his family, and his friends. Today We lost a very close friend ýýý a comradeýýý. A fellow member of the electrical union. Dmitri was a man of spiritual principals and lived by these ways. He was gentle when he needed to be and he was firm when it was called for. Dmitri took time away from himself and sometimes even his family to help others. Dmitri was very compassionate and very strong. Dmitri was a lover of music, sports, and good conversation. Dmitri most of all loved to help other and boy he was a great listener. Dmitri was very gifted. Dmitri was good with his hands and good with his mind. He knew how to use these gifts to help his family and friends. I had the honor to grow up with Dmitri and saw the Allegiance he gave to all who new him which was bound with honesty, love and care. This is what made Dmitri so good because his dediciation and allegiance. Dmitri set the standards for being a brother. What is a friend We need friends for many reasons, all throughout the four seasons. We need friends to comfort us when we are sad, and to have fun with us when we are glad. We need friends to give us good advice. We need someone we can count on to treat us nice. We need friends because we are social in nature, and having friends makes us feel secure. We need friends to remember us once we have passed sharing memories that will always last. "If you go looking for a friend, you`re going to find they`re very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you`ll find them everywhere." - Zig Ziglar Dmitri didnýýýt look for friends he gave his friendship to everyone never asking nothing in return. Dmitri your are my brother, my friend, and my inspiration You walked with me with true dedication You always listened to me when I was so blue You even gave me sound advice when I didnýýýt know what to do I know some things that I want to share with you all Dmitri was a good husband, a good father, a good brother, and a good friend this is what makes him stand so tall. Dmitri loved to dance, listen, smile, laugh, love, give, and share But most of all I know that dmitriýýýs biggest was he really did care I will miss you my friend, but now you are free I hope when I come up we will be together for all eternity

Grief is a long, slow journey,it`s path has many twists and turns; you may spend time in dark narrow alleys or dismal cul-de-sacs, long barren stretches of empty highways or exhausting mountain roads. Each persons journey along this path will be different; and there are no short cuts. Give yourself time. Be patient with the demands of this difficult journey. Rely on God`s peace to ease your mind and help you heal. D was loved by many,and he will always be my baby.

Dmitri was truly a gift from God. Psalms 127:3 When he was born, I was 16 years old and had the privilage of traveling to Portland, Oregon to help my sister care for him and her other 2 sons. Dmitri was such a joy! He was a very quiet and sweet little boy, maybe thats why many of us chose to call him Mouse. And as an adult, I would sometimes call him Mr. Smiley because he always had a sincere smile that would melt me right into his arms for a hug. What a loving caring man he was, always bringing so much joy and laughter to all of us who knew him. He will be greatly missed but will always live on in our hearts and into eternity with the Lord because he asked Jesus to be His Savior and forgive his sins. In the Bible, John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall never perish but have everlasting life. God doesn`t lie! Dmitri believes in Him and so do I! We will see Dmitri again and so can you! Believe! Just say this simple prayer: Jesus, you died in my place for all my sins. Thank you, please forgive me and help me to know you and do good. I believe in your name. AMEN

To the Family, I only had the priviledge of meeting this great guy, his wife B. and children one time, at a family reunion and birthday party for his grandmother Ida in Homedale, ID. It was a 3 day celebration. The closeness and love of the family he came from is amazing. D was a wonderful father and loving husband which was very obvious in his kind and caring ways. He will be missed by all who knew him, family, friends, co workers and etc. God definately had a special place in Heaven for him. God Bless his family as they go through this difficult and sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Maggie
