Egronovsky, Michael

Son of Victoria. Michael was born on 10.6.1998 in Nazareth. Michael’s mother had another son and two daughters, his half-brothers, Ronnie, Xenia, and Nicole. When Michael was two years old, the family moved from Nazareth to Bat Yam. He loved to spend time with his friends and wanted to help and contribute. At an early age, his friends had asked him to help them with the difficulties they had encountered, and Michael had always joined them and willingly helped. His friends and family described him as a smiling boy – “always with a smile.” Alongside his friends, Michael played soccer in the Maccabi Tel Aviv team. He always volunteered to take care of the animals at the zoo, and especially liked to be in the cowshed and work there – it was his great love. Michael worked in the cowshed in shifts and stayed there for hours. Michael has enjoyed the past three years at the Kanot youth village. At the end of his studies he moved to Eilat and worked as a waiter in a cafe and as a seller in a mall in the city. The store manager wrote: “The short period was simply amazing, he was fun to work with, and every problem always came with an eternal smile and a constant question, ‘Yes, where do you need help?’ As a manager, it’s hard to find such workers, as a person, I wish I had friends like that. ” Michael was excited about his recruitment and decided to make an effort to be accepted into an auxiliary company in the Armored Corps. He talked a lot about this route. After his enlistment on March 19, 2017, he began his basic training in the auxiliary company at the Shizafon base in the Negev, where he was given the task of heading a squad and returning to basic training. He could stand them. Private Michael Egranovsky fell during his service on 16 Sivan, 10.6.2017, on his birthday, two weeks before the beret journey at the end of basic training. He was nineteen when he fell. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Holon. Survived by his mother, brother and two sisters.
