Vladimir was married to the love of his life, Nina Semenovna Grubnyak, for 53 wonderful years. Together, they raised seven children, each one touched by his unyielding love and devotion. His legacy lives on through his family and all those whose lives he touched.

Vladimir is survived by his loving wife Nina Grubnyak; sons, Alex Grubnyak & wife Inna, Ivan Grubnyak & wife Irina, Sergei Grubnyak & wife Victoria, Andrey Grubnyak & wife Alina; daughters, Oxana Bodnariuc & husband Ivan, Yana Grubnyak & husband Andrey Gerega; 9 granddaughters, 6 grandsons, and 1 great-grandson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ivan & Anna Grubnyak and his son, Victor Grubnyak.

For 25 years, Vladimir was a cherished member of New Life Atlanta Church, where he and Nina worshiped together, and his close relationship with God was a cornerstone of his life. He was a kind, loving, and hard-working man who cared deeply for others. A passionate construction worker, Vladimir dedicated himself to providing for his family, never shying away from hard work. Vladimir was the type of person who never met a stranger. His love for people and his natural ability to strike up a conversation made everyone feel welcomed and valued. He was always ready to lend a hand, offer a kind word, or simply listen to someone in need. In his spare time, Vladimir enjoyed working on cars and tending to his garden, activities that allowed him to express his creativity and appreciation for the simple joys of life. His humor, laughter, and warmth were a constant source of joy for those around him. Above all, Vladimir was a family man—caring, loving, and deeply committed to the well-being of those he held dear. His memory will live on in the hearts of his wife, children, grandchildren, and all who knew him.

Rest in peace, Vladimir. Your love, kindness, and strength will never be forgotten.
