In Loving Memory of Slava Ostrovsky
May 14, 1965 – November 7, 2026

Slava Ostrovsky passed away suddenly on November 7, 2026, at the age of 61. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and friend.

Slava was born on May 14, 1965, in Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, Ukraine, to Mira and Misha Ostrovsky. His mother was a teacher of Russian language and literature, and his father was a design engineer.

An accomplished boxer, Slava earned the title of Master of Sport and won the highest titles in his weight category in the former Soviet Union. He later founded his own boxing school in Dnepropetrovsk. As a coach and mentor, he passed his passion and discipline on to a new generation of athletes and helped his students win titles and medals in tournaments.

In 1997, Slava immigrated to the United States, where he built and ran a successful transportation company for many years. Slava was known for his sense of humor, warmth, and resilience. He valued friendship and was always ready to support the people around him. He was well read and loved fishing and taking his boat out on the water. Slava enjoyed life to the fullest and never sweated the small stuff.

Slava loved his family first and foremost. His children were his pride and joy, and his grandchildren were the light of his life.

He is survived by his loving wife, Mila; his children, Dmitry, Arthur, Kyle, and Sean; his daughter-in-law, Julia; his grandchildren, Samuel and Erik; his brother, Alexander; his cousin, Elena; his beloved aunt, Sofa; and many relatives and friends who will miss him deeply. He will be remembered with love by his family, his friends, and all who knew him.
