Despite the public attention he received, he liked to go to local coffee shops… Serhiy Ivanovych did not like hypocrites, and he was not ashamed to say so to their faces. He was not ashamed of tears when old people approached him on the streets. When he watched heartbreaking videos from the front… He loved his daughter and his family very much. He loved life. He died as a result of a nighttime missile attack on a hotel in Kryvyi Rih. It is a great pity. Only fond memories. RIP!” Olena Shapoval wrote about Serhiychuk.
