There are no words that could ever capture the emptiness and heart-wrenching grief we feel today. Our hearts broke into two this morning… Kuba is gone.

Kuba was wise beyond his years, possessing a depth of maturity that seemed almost impossible for someone so young. He was noble, kind, and had a heart that radiated warmth and compassion. He carried within him a rare empathy that touched everyone who knew him. Kuba always thought of others first, before thinking of himself. That selflessness, that rare combination of maturity and generosity, is how we will remember him forever.

Those of us who were closest to him, particularly the Warsaw team who spent the most time with him, remember vividly the love he had for his family. He adored his parents, his love evident in the smallest of gestures. He often thought of his younger sister first; whenever he received gifts, he would immediately look for something he could share with her. That simple act reflects the essence of who Kuba was: thoughtful, caring, and always putting others before himself.

Kuba’s kindness extended beyond his family. Even in moments of discomfort, pain, or fear, he was attentive to the feelings of those around him. A smile for a friend, a reassuring word to a stranger, a gentle gesture of support—these were second nature to him. He had an understanding of life and people that many adults spend decades trying to learn. He could sense when someone needed comfort or encouragement and instinctively offered it without hesitation.

His courage was equally remarkable. Fighting a battle that no child should ever have to face, he confronted every obstacle with bravery and grace. There were days when the treatment, the procedures, and the exhaustion must have felt overwhelming, yet Kuba faced them with quiet dignity. He did not complain. Instead, he found ways to make the environment around him brighter—through jokes, stories, laughter, and his unique perspective on life.

One of the most striking things about Kuba was the way he saw the world. He did not measure himself by what he lacked, by the illness that challenged him daily, or by the unfair circumstances of his life. Instead, he focused on the beauty in the world, the love of his family, the friendships he cherished, and the small moments that brought joy. He had a curiosity about life that inspired those around him, encouraging us to slow down, notice the little things, and treasure them.

Kuba also had a remarkable capacity for connection. Friends, family, and caregivers alike felt his presence as a source of calm and reassurance. Even in times of pain, he had the ability to make others feel safe, valued, and seen. His energy was never selfish; it always lifted others. The Warsaw team often recalled moments when Kuba’s laughter would fill a room, dissolving tension, bringing smiles to faces that had long been shadowed by worry and fatigue.

He understood love deeply—not just in the abstract, but in action. Whether it was helping his younger sister, showing appreciation to his parents, or expressing gratitude to his friends, Kuba lived with a generosity of spirit that was profound. He embodied the idea that love is not only a feeling but a practice, a choice we make every day in how we treat others.

Kuba’s journey was a testament to resilience. To endure what he endured required a strength that many adults could not summon. He faced challenges that would shake even the strongest among us, yet he persisted. Each day, he taught those around him that courage does not always roar; sometimes it is the quiet, persistent choice to continue despite adversity, to remain hopeful, and to continue loving even in pain.

Today, we join in sorrow and mourning with his family and loved ones. We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences. We share in your grief and stand by you in these most difficult moments. Our hearts ache with yours, yet we also feel immense gratitude for having known Kuba, for having witnessed his spirit, his wisdom, and his boundless kindness.

Kuba’s life reminds us that true greatness is not measured by accolades or achievements but by the love, empathy, and courage we share with others. He exemplified how one person, no matter their age, can make a profound impact on the world simply by being generous, kind, and true to themselves.

Even in his absence, Kuba’s legacy continues. The stories of his life—the laughter, the love, the small but significant gestures—remain with us, inspiring us to live more thoughtfully, to care more deeply, and to act with the same selflessness that he embodied. He has left a mark on the hearts of all who knew him, a light that will continue to guide us.

The Warsaw team, those who spent the most time by his side, recall countless moments that reveal the depth of his character. They remember how he would insist on sharing what little he had, how he would offer comfort to someone struggling, how he celebrated the joys of others even when he faced his own pain. These memories are treasures that will never fade, reminders of a life lived fully, even if far too short.

Kuba’s presence also brought a sense of perspective to everyone around him. He reminded us that life is fragile and precious, that love and compassion are what truly matter, and that even in the darkest moments, light can be found. He taught us that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward in spite of it.

Though we grieve, we also honor him by remembering the way he lived. His life, though brief, was full of meaning, impact, and love. We hold onto these memories, sharing them with others, and carrying forward the spirit of generosity, empathy, and resilience that defined him.

Kuba has left this world, but the memory of him will endure forever 🕊. His spirit, his kindness, and his courage remain with all of us who had the privilege of knowing him. In every act of compassion we perform, in every smile we share, and in every moment we choose to live fully, we honor him.

To his family, friends, and all who loved him, we stand with you. Your sorrow is shared, your grief acknowledged, and your love celebrated. Kuba’s life may have been brief, but it was extraordinary—a life that taught us all how to love more, care more, and live with more courage than we ever thought possible.

Kuba’s story will remain a guiding light. Even though his physical presence is gone, the lessons he imparted, the love he shared, and the example he set will continue to inspire generations. His life, though far too short, was a testament to the beauty of empathy, the power of love, and the strength of the human spirit.

May the memory of Kuba remain eternal, and may we all carry a piece of his extraordinary heart within us. In every kind gesture, every courageous act, every moment of love, we remember him. And though our hearts ache today, we are forever grateful to have known a soul as pure, brave, and extraordinary as Kuba.
