1990 Junior Men's World Champion Igor Pashkevich (Wikipedia Page) has died.

I saw the news on Facebook, when a couple of Russian skaters shared a link to a donation page set up to help his family with his funeral costs.
Igor was from Moscow, and represented his native Russia for most of his career, winning the title at Junior Worlds in 1990, and the silver at Europeans in 1996. He then switched to Azerbaijan, before retiring in 1998. In recent years, he has been coaching in Florida.
Didn't recognise the name, but when I saw a photo, I did.
My thoughts go out to his family, friends, and the skaters he has worked with over the years.
