A grievous loss of a close friend and others with pioneering impact on scientific research-Professor Vojislav Mitić have shown an attitude of extraordinary persistence and diligence to his academic works. He made remarkable contributions to the emerging structure analysis of the fracture nature, Brownian motions of ceramic materials, microorganisms, and the related biomolecules. He had considerate, circumspect, and enthusiastic behaviors towards his colleagues.Prof. Mitić, President of the Serbian Ceramics Society, passed away on 27 September 2021. A week before (September 20-22), he was chairing the Conference "Advanced Ceramics and Applications IX" held in Belgrade. Because of being infected by COVID-19, he was sent to a hospital for treatment afterwards. At that time, his family members, colleagues, friends, and students prayed for him and all wished him back to work soon, to which he was always so devoted. Almost for a week Mitić fought against the deadly disease. Unfortunately, he lost his last battle to SARS-CoV-2. Our life becomes imperfect without him. Nevertheless, we believe that Mitić, a hero of life, would insist us to move on and strive for hardship.
