He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. The family received a letter of condolence from the commander of his unit, in which he wrote: “Moti did not get to be in our unit for a long time, but in the short time we were in the unit we were able to meet a loyal friend who was always full of life and who always loved to do everything he was entrusted with love and devotion. He worked as a driver and did his job very efficiently, never grumbling or complaining despite the heavy workload, and the smile never stopped.
