Frydman, Guy (Gaiush)

Ben Naomi and David. He was born on the 19th of Tishrei 5733 (19.9.1972) in Haifa. When he was two years old, his family moved to Eilat because of his father’s service in the regular army, and he began his elementary studies at Etzion Gever. When he was in second grade, his family moved to Kiryat Bialik, where he continued his studies and completed the Habonim elementary school. Afterward, the family settled in Zichron Yaakov and completed their high school studies in the agricultural school in Pardes Hannah in the real-biological field. “Guy was very fond of biology and especially of animals,” says his high school teacher, “but he was very interested in everything. Guy had a technical sense. He worked in handicrafts and was responsible for all the repairs in the house. His great love was sport. Physical fitness, endurance, and body development were his primary concern. Before he was drafted he used to train his body in difficult training to improve his physical strength and strengthen him. The family says that Guy was “redheaded, smiling, always helpful, never depressed, never complained, and even his rare anger was cute, reddish anger.” “Every mother would dream that she would have a son like him, a real man, always helping everyone and such a friend.” He was drafted into the IDF in the middle of March 1991 and volunteered for the naval commando unit. A special experience came to him when he first parachuted when his father, a paratrooper in the reserves, joined him and they fell together. After some time, due to health problems, Guy was forced to leave the naval commando, and during the waiting period for his absorption into another elite unit, he was transferred to a Nahal unit as a new recruits commander. “Guy is doing his job very well, he has a high work ethic and relates to assignments in a serious and mature way.” On February 14, 1992, in the area of ​​Ramat Menashe, Guy fell in a battle against terrorists who infiltrated the recruits tent and was brought to eternal rest in the military section of the cemetery in Zichron Yaakov. Survived by his parents and brother – Yaron. In a letter of condolence to the family, Defense Minister Moshe Arens wrote: “Guy served in the Nahal paramilitary brigade, and was an excellent soldier and commander, one of the best in the company. “The desire to serve in elite units guided you before serving in the IDF and throughout your service to this day. From the moment you arrived at us, you stood out as the commander of your class and above, and this was especially noticeable in your last moments, when you sought the help of your soldiers who were attacked. You loved life, you were happy and happy even in the difficult moments of service. Always first volunteer to help others or for any expected task. Ehud for all. “To commemorate his memory, his parents established a public park in his memory in Zichron Yaakov.
