Anatoliy Obedkov

EULOGY On August 28, 1976, in the family of Nikolai Nikolaevich and Natalya Petrovna Obedkov a son was born. Anatoliy was the second child in the family, and was a happy addition to family which already had his older sister. He had 4 siblings, Tanya, Olga, Tima and Pasha. He was a very vocal child, all the neighbors could hear him, he was strong, and as he grew, he helped around the house. His parents instilled a love of work in him from childhood. Tolik, or Tolyan, as his family and friends called him, did not like to study, but his teachers loved him. After finishing school, he was drafted into the army where he served in alternative military service - working in a furniture factory. After the completion of the service, he opened his own business and started helping people. In 1998, his daughter Nastya was born, in 2000, his son Nikita was born, and in 2005, his youngest son Artyom was born. In 2003, he moved with his family to the United States and here he also opened his own business manufacturing custom cabinetry. Since he had great talent and vast experience, the business took off. He loved his family very much: his wife, children and grandchildren. Especially his grandchildren. He spent a lot of time with them and often visited them. He often gathered his and his sister Tanya's family, he loved spending time with them. Sometimes, when he wanted to go somewhere, and if his parents for some reason could not, he would simply take his nephews and only niece and go with them, either to the coast, or to the waterfalls, or somewhere else. Tolik loved fishing, loved spending time with his grandchildren and doing what they wanted, jumping on a trampoline, going to the park. He always had candy for his grandchildren. Throughout his life, Tolik touched many people with his kindness and responsiveness. He delved into the needs of people and did not pass by. He had a huge heart - if he saw a need, he always helped, mostly anonymously. He didn’t like big gatherings, he made a personal connection with everyone he came in contact with.

September 18, he was brought to the hospital unconscious, then it turned out that he had an aneurysm that provoked 2 heart attacks. After a long struggle, on September 20, at 12:57, surrounded by his family and closest loved ones, Tolik passed away. We miss him very much, and although it is painful and hard for us, we trust in God's plan.

He lived on this earth for 48 years and 23 days.(total 17,555 days)
