CHELMSFORD- Ivan Voloboi, 74, a resident of Chelmsford passed away Friday, June 5, 2015 at his home. He was the beloved husband of Valentyna (Ostapenko) Voloboi with whom he celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2015.
He was born in Velika Oleksandrivka, Ukraine on January 3, 1941 a son of the late Ivan and Galyna (Gonchar) Voloboi. Ivan lived in Ukraine until 2012, when he and his wife moved to Chelmsford to be closer to their sons.
Devoted to his Christian faith, Ivan read the Bible from cover to cover sixteen times throughout his life and he completed his lifelong goal of attending a full Orthodox Service in twelve different Orthodox Churches, the most recent being in St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Boston.
Ivan was a patriot of Ukraine, he loved his country and where he came from. He loved to fish and spend time outdoors, and above all, he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Ivan was a good man, loving and beloved, humble but strong, without rest working hard for his family, even till his very last day, working both physically and spiritually, when fixing the roof, when building the chicken coop, when chopping the fire wood, and when praying daily for his family to the Lord Jesus Christ.
In addition to his loving wife, Ivan is survived by two sons, Dmytro Voloboy of Chelmsford and Viktor Voloboi and his wife Maryna of Chelmsford and three grandchildren, Kostyantyn Voloboi, Natalia Voloboy and Sonya Voloboi.
