Our dear beloved Son, Brother, Uncle, Grandson and Nephew, Nikita Plutenko, tragically passed away following a snowboarding accident on December 23, 2025.

He was just 22 years old, with his whole life and so many dreams ahead of him. Nikita was a vibrant, kind-hearted soul who lived his life for others. He deeply loved his family, his friends, his coworkers, and his church community. He also had a special place in his heart for his pets, who will miss his presence dearly.

Above all, Nikita loved his Savior. He had a passion for going on mission trips to share the Word of Jesus and spread His love to the ends of the earth. While our hearts are broken, we find peace knowing that he is now with God. We are here to witness and share that same love with all of you, honoring the legacy Nikita left behind.

As we navigate this unimaginable grief, we are seeking support to give Nikita the dignified and heartfelt send-off he deserves.

If it is on your heart, please consider donating to help cover:

    •    Funeral and memorial service arrangements.

    •    Burial expenses.

    •    Support for the family during this sudden transition.

No contribution is too small, and every donation will go directly toward honoring Nikita's memory. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this story with your own loved ones. More than anything, we ask for your continued prayers for our family.

Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and for helping us celebrate the beautiful life of our Nikita.
