Denis was born October 24, 1989 in Kharkiv, Ukraine (formerly part of USSR). In 1997, shortly after his father's passing, Denis moved to Regina where he attended Ethel Milliken Elementary School. As a teenager he moved to Vancouver, BC where he attended high-school, played community football, and wrestled for his school's team. Vancouver became his permanent residence, where Denis enjoyed walks around the city along with a cup of good coffee.
While Denis attended University of British Columbia, he ultimately graduated from the BC Institute of Technology (BCIT), after which he worked as an independent computer and mobile games developer.
Throughout his life, Denis had a variety of interests ranging from sports and technology, to urban exploration, to sketching and drawing.
He will be remembered by his friends and family as an intelligent young man, who had a passion for technology, physics, and 3D game development.
Denis was predeceased in death by his father Oleg Ivanov. Denis is survived by his mother Elena; brother Max; grandmother Nonna; cousin Davis; aunt Nataly and uncle Ross.
