In February 1976, Dan enlisted in the IDF and in 1977 he embarked on an officer’s course, where he began a military career, where he served as a maintenance officer in the battalions and brigades in the Southern Command, and later in the Chief Maintenance Officer Headquarters. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel as head of the textile branch of the Israel Defense Forces, and during the course of his service in the various positions Dan was highly appraised of his qualities as an officer, his dedication, his dedication, his initiative, his original thought and his excellent human relations. Four children – Assaf, Moran, Galit and Hila, his daughter Dana, was born Dan was a warm father who spent a lot of time with his children, played with them and gave them his love, and in 1985, when Dan began his academic studies at the Technion, he completed his studies as a mechanical engineer.

A civilian truck, driving a negligent driver, smashed into the military vehicle where Dan and Sgt. Ofer Moalem were traveling, and Ofer and Dan died on the way to the hospital, where he was buried at the military cemetery in Rishon Letzion, A woman and five children, a chief maintenance officer, Brigadier General Dan Nadiv, writes of Dan: “We loved Dan, we liked modesty, humility, simplicity, honesty. I met Danny three years ago, and in all the meetings I saw the image of a commander, a professional, devoted, who loves his work. A commander who cares, a commander who does his work faithfully and quietly. It is self-conscious and acceptable to people. Even when he smiled at me, the smile was introverted, shameful, a smile of nobility, a smile of peace of mind, a smile on his surroundings, and all these will be missed. “Danny was an exemplary father, a father who knew beyond his work in the army to give the children warmth and love and to care for his parents, and Danny’s tolerant, modest and noble path will be a guiding light for us to continue our lives and contribute to the IDF and the State of Israel.”
