Sasha was a proud 2012 graduate of Shepherd Hill Regional High School and was working as a self-employed landscaper at the time of his passing. Sasha loved the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, boating, kayaking, snowboarding and biking. He was proud of his dual heritage and enjoyed Russian music, comedies and cuisine.

His life ended far too soon, but all that knew him would say he lived hard, played hard, and never left a minute on the table.
