In Memory of Anton Kirichenko: Community Support

Honoring the Life of Anton “The Russian Bear”Kirichenko

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of our beloved teammate and friend, Anton Kirichenko. Known to many as the “Russian Bear,” Anton was more than just a wrestler — he was a son, a friend, and a young man who brought strength, laughter, and dedication to everyone around him.

Anton, an only child, had just begun his senior year, a time meant for celebration, hard work, and looking toward the future. His sudden loss has left an immeasurable void in the lives of his mother, coaches, teammates, and all who knew him.

We are coming together as a community to support Anton’s mother during this unimaginable time. Your generosity will help ease the burden of funeral expenses and give his mother the space to grieve without added financial strain.

Anton’s legacy will live on in the memories we share and the values he embodied — courage, perseverance, and love for his team. Let us honor him through our support, our actions, and the way we continue to carry his spirit forward.

Thank you for keeping Anton and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
