Denys Chumak

Denys was born in the city of Korosten in the Zhytomyr region. He dedicated 15 years of his life to the railway, working as an assistant driver of an electric locomotive at the Korosten Locomotive Depot.

Colleagues remember him as a kind, meticulous, punctual, and hardworking man who loved his job, fast driving, and fishing. He built his house with his own hands and loved his daughter unconditionally.

The team at the Korosten Locomotive Depot of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" deeply mourns the irreparable loss. His dedication to work and family is an example we will always remember.
