Avishai, son of Yehudit and Moshe Levi, was born in 1970 in Tel Aviv. In July 1988 Avishai enlisted in the Israel Air Force. He joined the ranks of the career army in late August 1991. On the night of the 28th of Shvat (February 4, 1997), the helicopter disaster occurred when two Yasur helicopters collided over Moshav Shear Yashuv. The seventy-three fighters, who made their way to operational activity in Lebanon, were killed, among them Avishai. He was twenty-seven years old when he fell. Avishai was laid to rest in the Kiryat Shaul military cemetery. He left behind a wife, daughter, mother, and two sisters.
