Sergiy ‘Serge’ Leshchuk
1989 - 2025
Toronto Irish Football Club are deeply saddened to share the news of the sudden passing of our teammate and friend, Sergiy ‘Serge’ Leshchuk on 20 August 2025, at the age of 36.
Born in Kyiv and making Toronto his home, Serge embodied the spirit of generosity, kindness and team camaraderie.
Serge joined Toronto Irish at the start of this season and quickly became a central member of our MJ Central team. His passion for football and his unwavering commitment to our club inspired all who had the privilege of sharing a pitch alongside him. Serge’s larger than life presence lifted everyone around him.
Serge recently shared the news that he was going to become a father in the new year adding another level to these tragic circumstances. Everyone associated with Toronto Irish Football Club extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Serge’s fiancé Kelly, his parents Viktoriya and Sergiy, family and friends at this difficult time.

May he rest in peace | Ar dheis de go raibh a hanam
