Daniil "Danik" Bulgakov's Obituary
Daniil Bulgakov, affectionately known as Danik, was unexpectedly taken from us on July 20th, 2024 in Rogers, Arkansas. Born to Natalia and Yuriy Bulgakov in Frunze, Kyrgyzstan on November 27th, 1983, he is survived by his wife Lydia and their children, Theodore and Mary, as well as his parents and siblings. Family was Danik’s greatest priority. He showed this through his devotion as a husband, father, son, brother and uncle.
Born in Soviet Russia, Danik immigrated to Sacramento, California in 1990. He explored many careers, settling on a very successful career as a Superintendent in the Construction field for many years. Most recently he found a new passion as a sales representative, helping individuals and families find the perfect vehicle.
In 2011, he married the love of his life, Lydia and together they built a family and a life filled with love, joy and laughter. Together they had 2 children, Theodore and Mary. He was the most devoted husband and father, always putting his family first and cherishing every moment he spent with them.
In 2022, Danik along with his wife and children relocated to NWA in pursuit of new adventures.
His greatest passion was helping people in any capacity he possibly could. From volunteering in the ER department at the local hospital, to taking care of the elderly, to helping strangers around him. He personified acts of service. Even in death, he was selfless as he gave the gift of life to others through organ donation.
Danik was known for his kindness, his peaceful character, his willingness to help, his thirst for knowledge and betterment of himself, and was admired by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and community.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at Mildred B. Cooper Chapel. His family will take this time to remember and celebrate his joyful spirit, unwavering devotion and love, and reflect on all the ways Danik touched our lives and the lessons we can learn from his time with us. May we find comfort in knowing that he will never truly be gone, as we will all carry his memory in our hearts and minds.
To Danik, we say farewell for now, but we will never forget the light you brought into our lives. May you rest in peace, and may we continue to honor your memory by living our lives to the fullest, with the same joyful spirit as you did.
