Aleksander Sergeyevich Savinskiy's Obituary
Aleksander Sergeyevich Savinskiy, affectionately known as "Papa," passed away on
August 21, 2024, in Bountiful, Utah, at the age of 64. Born on January 19, 1960, in
Uzbekistan, Aleksander lived a life marked by integrity, generosity, and a distinctive
sense of humor.
Aleksander's professional life was as varied as it was fulfilling. Known for his versatility,
He excelled as a welder, mechanic, and semi-truck driver. However, his family
remembers him most fondly for his unparalleled role as a father, always present with
support and guidance.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Aleksander had a passion for the outdoors. He was
an avid fisherman and camper, often seen running up the beach with his giant fishing
pole. He also cherished time spent teaching his grandchildren how to play chess and
fixing cars, creating lasting memories through shared experiences and lessons.
Aleksander's personality was a beacon of consistency and love. He was known for his
ability to offer stern, wise advice that always came from a place of deep care. His
humor, often cringey yet perfectly timed, could defuse any tense situation, leaving a
smile on everyone's face. His legacy as a generous man, who would "give you the shirt
off his back," will live on through the many lives he touched.
He leaves behind his wife, Nina Savinskaya; daughters Evelina (Paul Hyde) and Yelena
Ayala Savinskiy; sons Sergey and Anatoliy Savinskiy; and grandchildren Mark, David,
Christina, Paul Jr., Eddie, William, Izabella, and Michael. Who lovingly called him Dedushka.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Sergey Nikitovitch Savinskiy and Lyudmila Vladimirovna

always as the steadfast rock of his family and a man whose actions invariably matched
his compassionate words.
