Shirak Gasparyan was born in 1998 in Achajur, Tavush region. Shirak was the youngest son of the family, whose birth was long-awaited.

In 2005, Shirak was admitted to the Secondary School of Achajur, named after Hrant Tamrazyan. In 2016, he entered the department of Armenian History at YSU IB. In 2020 he graduated with excellence. After successfully passing the exams, he received invitations from over 15 universities; however, he chose Karlov University in the Czech Republic.

Shirak preferred to serve in the army and only then leave for the Czech Republic.
On July 29, 2020, he started his service in Mekhakavan, Jrakan. After some months, he became a Sergeant. He participated in the war from the first day. Shirak died from the shooting of the enemy. He was handed over to the military in his native village, Achajur.

Shirak Gasparyan was posthumously awarded the “For Courage” medal for his courage and great dedication.
Now in the garden of their house, a church is being built, which was Shirak’s dream.
