Viktor Zozulya, age 51 of North Royalton, passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. Beloved husband of Zoryana (nee Goroshko) for 28 years; loving father of Sophia Bilovol (Andriy) and Daniel; devoted son of Ivan (Nadia) and the late Galina (nee Lats); dear eldest brother of eight; uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

Viktor’s professional journey began as a passionate watchmaker, a craft that spoke to his patience and attention to detail. For the last 27 years, he served as a dedicated machinist at Progress Rail, where his reputation as a tireless worker and a generous provider was well known. Viktor was a man of immense kindness and self-sacrifice; he was the one who would always take the time to call loved ones just to check in, ensuring that everyone around him felt cared for and not forgotten.

Outside of work, Viktor found peace in simple things. He was a lover of nature who enjoyed the quiet patience of fishing and the intricate world of beekeeping. Some of his happiest moments were spent side-by-side with his son, Daniel, experiencing new things or just working on cars. Whether the family was traveling on vacation or simply gathering at home, Viktor’s presence was a source of warmth and love for his family.
