Obituary For Vladimir Gula

Vladimir D. Gula, 74, passed away on April 27, 2026, surrounded by family.

Vladimir was a hardworking, humble man whose life was defined by faith, family, and quiet strength. He was deeply rooted in his Christian faith, which guided him through life and gave him peace, resilience, and perspective even in his most difficult moments.

He faithfully served as a pastor at Bethany Slavic Full Gospel Church, where he ministered with sincerity, humility, and a deep commitment to others. His faith was not only something he preached, but something he lived out daily through his actions, his service, and his care for those around him.

He was known as someone who showed love through action - always willing to help, fix, build, or lend a hand without hesitation. Whether at home, at work, or in his community, Vladimir was dependable and present, the kind of man others could count on when it mattered most.

He took pride in his work and built lasting relationships through his reliability and strong work ethic.

In his final months, Vladimir faced serious health challenges with courage and dignity. Through it all, he remained steadfast in his faith and surrounded by the love of those closest to him.

He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren, who will carry forward his legacy of strength, faith, and devotion to family.

A service to celebrate Vladimir’s life will be held on Sunday May 3rd. Details will be shared with family and friends.

Vladimir will be remembered not only for what he said, but for what he did - his quiet strength, his unwavering faith, and the way he showed up for the people he loved.

“Good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:23)

Funeral Services will be held on Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. at Betheny Full Gospel Church. Burial will be on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 12:00 noon at Friendly Hills Cemetery.
