Forever Remembered
October 21, 2009 - Alushta, Ukraine. It is with deep regret and
profound sorrow that I announce the passing of my close personal
friend, Vladik Shibanov. Vlad was suddenly taken from us on October 20
in a tragic car accident near his home. His family and friends are in
shock and devastated by this horrible event.
The accident occured on a rain slicked road in the Simferopol-Alushta-
Yalta region just before 11:00pm. Vladik lost control, flipping his
vehicle. The 'Jaws of Life' was used to extract Vlad from his car, but
he died at the scene. A friend of Vlad's was a passenger in the car,
and he is in critical condition in hospital with spinal, chest and
head injuries.
The world lost an intelligent bright young man in the prime of his
life. For those who knew him personally, we simply cannot believe it's
true. Let's all grieve together.

Weather, speed and tires to blame in Vlad's death
More details have emerged surrounding the untimely death of our
friend, Vladik Shibanov.
In the late hours of October 20, 2009, Vladik and a group of school
friends met for a late night get together. Around 10:50pm local time,
Vladik and a school friend identified only as a 'champion go-cart
racer' from Alushta broke away from the group to head home. Vladik,
being the generous kid he was, offered a ride to his friend in his new
car - a black 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander purchased in September of this
year. Vlad loved his new car and was proud to show it off (pictured
left). Vlad also loved speed. As the rain poured down, and visibility
decreased because of fog, Vlad's speed increased. The vehicle's tires,
designed for sparse recreational use only, already worn down from the
rough Crimean terrain were to be replaced a week prior. What little
tread was left was not enough to keep Vlad on the road at the speed he
was travelling. Vlad lost control, hitting a concrete divider. He died
instantly. MVD officials say speed, weather and poor tires were the
ultimate cause of the accident. Alcohol was not a factor.
In a cruel twist of fate, his friend never lost consciousness during
the entire ordeal. As emergency personnel worked for nearly an hour to
cut Vlad from the car, his friend not only suffered from physical pain
but the pain of seeing Vlad laying beside him. Vlad's friend remains
in critical but stable condition suffering from spinal, chest and head
injuries. He is expected to pull through.
Born into a humbled home, Vladik's circle of friends included the rich
and elite of Crimea. But he never accepted handouts from his wealthy
friends. Vlad carried his weight, and while his mates got weekly
allowances from their parents, Vlad worked to keep up a lifestyle he
so adored.
Vlad leaves behind Mummy, Daddy and his baby Sister. He also leaves
behind thousands of friends all over the world.
As his family and friends prepare for a private burial on Saturday
October 24, Vlad's extended family and friends around the world begin
40 days of mourning in honor of the boy many of them haven't met.
Clearly evident is Vlad's popularity from the comments posted here.
