Slav lived to serve others, always ensuring that everyone surrounding him was safe, comfortable, and well-fed. He worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful life for his family whether it was working several jobs or spending days cooking a feast. He was a popular colleauge, making and maintaining friendships at all of his workplaces.

He was a passionate man who never did things lightly. Family was most important to him, but he also had a healthy obsession with good food, great music, and fantastic shoes. In his personal life he was a celebrated chef, a covert rockstar, and was always overflowing with charisma. He deeply appreciated craftsmanship, his most beloved possessions being an ever growing collection of Japanese chef knives, guitars, and well made shoes. He cared for his possessions as meticulously as he did for his family.

His devotion to family, incredible cooking, stoic presence, and animated humour will be dearly missed.
