I joined Microsoft in 2012 and worked with Alex in various capacities for almost the entirety of my time at the company. I always found him to be an excellent colleague and mentor, and over time I grew to consider him a friend as well. He encouraged us all to hold ourselves to a high standard, and exemplified such standards himself with his deep knowledge and expertise. But even more importantly, he was always cheerful and friendly, and eager to provide help and guidance, or just to chat about the tech news or hockey. And even as he fought this horrible disease, he was unwaveringly courageous and optimistic. The loss we all feel is immense, and nothing will be able to replace Alex's presence in our lives, but I will always remember him, his bright spirit and strength of character, and all that I learned from working with him.

Hi--

My name is Rob Young.  I am a Software Architect at Microsoft on the Surface Team.  I learned about Alex's passing this morning and I wanted to share my condolences and share a little bit from my perspective.  I had been aware of Alex's condition for a long time.

I met Alex many years ago when we started the Surface computer project.  Alex helped us get security services running in our factories.  As time went on we collaborated on many security projects.  I personally learned a lot from his expertise.  Alex posses wonderful communication skills, is transparent (no hidden agendas), very intelligent, is really cordial and easy to work with, and was always doing really great things for Microsoft and our customers.  I am fortunate to work with very intelligent/gifted people both inside Microsoft, and outside corporations as well.  Everyone I have talked to that worked with Alex tells the same story.  Anyway, I wanted Alex's family to know how much he meant to myself , Microsoft and our partners.   He will be greatly missed.  

Regards--

Sasha, you will always be here with us - in our thoughts, in our hearts, in our memories and in our prayers. We deeply miss you. Rest in peace, dear friend!

Покойся с миром брат! Земля пухом!

November 10th 1997. I remember this date still now and probably never going to forget. I was invited to a birthday party on which I’ve met Alex.  Shura, I’ve started to call him since then. He looked “fresh” ))) just came from Tomsk, Russia. I was right, few month or even week maybe, before this day. This was my second year in the country, I had some friends at that time a lot of them we are friends still. Shura fit right in and became a vocal guy a leader I would say another words! It was fun happy teenage years we spent together!!! 
 When he left to Seattle, it felt like a soul has left the team. At least that’s how it was to me. We all adjusted our own way. A lot of as has left New York few fallowed Shura and live in Seattle. Some still in New York…
 It’s devastating what happened it is hard sad and sorry for as all the day when Alex has left us! 
 I feel honored and thankful been his friend having him as mine, that fact that he was a part in my life means a lot to me. I will always remember you my friend! Thanks to you I’ve found new friends when was visiting Seattle few times and they have been coming to visit New York. May you rest in peace on earth and eternal paradise in heaven!

спи спокойно дружище. навсегда в памяти жизнерадостный и спокойный , отзывчивый и добрый. пусть земля будет пухом

Надолго запомню Сашу, как мужественного Человека, с добрым сердцем, и ясной душой.  Покойся с миром, мой дорогой друг.

Shura, NHL season is around the corner. Will keep our chat going and keep you updated! Rest in piece brother...

Alex  was one of the most positive and kind people we have ever known. His unique sense of humor, his friendly smile and unbreakable desire to live can never be forgotten. He will always live in our hearts….

Just heard the sad news,
I had the privilege of knowing Alex and working with him for few years. He will truly be missed and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

I have the privilege of knowing and working with Alex for 15 years. Alex is a brilliant engineer, an outstanding coworker and a kind friend. His tenacity and strength have inspired for all of us around him. His care and love for his family shine bright. You will be remembered, Alex.  

My condolences to the family. Sasha you will be greatly missed. Rest in peace

Шура, ты ушёл, ты но ты вечно живой и с нами! Земля пухом, спи спокойно!

Sasha will be remembered as always positive and smiling friend. May you rest in peace!

My condolences to the family. This loss is heartbreaking to all of us. Sasha will always be in our hearts! 

I have an incredible memory of Sasha’s smile when I last saw him about 3 weeks prior to
him passing. Yes, he was ill, but still making jokes with a big warm smile. Sasha always had a positive attitude and it was a pleasure to be in his presence. Life is not fair! Life was taking way too early from an incredible person. May his family only remember his wonderful smiles and may those memories warm their hearts and souls ❤️🙏


Sasha, you will be greatly missed by all of us and always remembered. Thank you for being an amazing friend who shared so much wisdom with us, gave advice when needed, had a wicked sense of humor and just enormous heart. You threw the best super bowl parties. 
May your memory be a blessing! 

You’re leaving this world young
Yet you’ve accomplished a lot
You’ve touched many hearts 
And you’ve spread a lot of light 

You have many great traits 
But most remarkable of all
Is your ability to navigate 
Environments out of your control 

You chose resilience and strength 
Over weakness, giving up
You were very determined 
To remain on healing path

The challenges you’ve faced
Did not corrupt your soul
It didn’t break your spirit 
Instead, it made you whole

Your kindness and your warmth
Will be always felt:
It’ll be always in our hearts
Because hearts don’t forget 

You will always be remembered 
As someone very strong 
Someone who loved life
Regardless what it brought along

You didn’t lose this fight, you’ve won
You’ve fought better than the best
You’ve faced this fight head on
Now… it’s time to rest

I am so sorry for your loss, my professional interactions with Alex were always great. His great smile and always a friendly interaction will be dearly missed! My thoughts and prayers with you.

  Rest in Pease Alex! - Sanjay

I met Alex in college. He was the smartest student, so I always enlisted his help on challenging projects and tests. We eventually became friends when he realized he couldn’t get rid of me, lol. Alex loves adventure and lived life to the fullest. Even through the challenges, he didn’t complain and was always hopeful. Alex is strong and courageous. I enjoyed our discussions around life and faith. I always gained a new perspective when we hung out. I will dearly miss you friend, and I look forward to seeing you in heaven.
