The fighter was born in the city of Dubno, Rivne region. He studied at the local secondary school No. 3. He worked abroad. Recently, he worked in trade. In his free time, he was passionate about fishing and sports. During the full-scale war, he defended the country as part of the 30th separate mechanized brigade. He was a sapper of the 1st engineering and sapper platoon of the motorized infantry battalion. "He was always friendly, cheerful, and sincere. He had a good heart. Every story of our life has its own value. I did not know with him neither troubles nor grief. And now I have learned everything at once. He knew how to warm and calm from a distance. Together with my beloved, we dreamed of a happy future, about how we will raise our little sons. His words were: 'You have already gone through fire and water, and you will go through it again, you are strong.' And when I'm in pain, I remember his words," said his wife Tetyana. The defender was buried in the village of Tarakanov, Rivne region. Vadym is survived by his wife and two sons. The warrior was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage of the III degree.
