Mikhail was smart, courageous, loving, and full of joy. He had an impact on each person he interacted with and helped a thousand of his patients. He lived his life to the fullest, despite his many challenges. His greatest joys and accomplishments were the gifts of being a dad to Alexander, grandfather to Ilya and Alan, and big brother to Nelya and Alexander. Mikhail loved her entire family. He worried about them, rooted for them, supported and protected them, and always kept on helping them. Mikhail's loss is deeply felt by his family and all those who knew and loved him. His memory will continue to live on and inspire strength, courage, and compassion in whose lives he touched.
