Dan was a beloved, Simcha, funny, “silly” boy, whom everyone loved. The nickname “Titoff” was given to him in the name of the hero of a French series of comic books that became a television show, because this character reminded Dan’s jerky personality.

I asked Dan to design the opening and he did it in HTML. “His mother Claudia told us about his creative mischief:” Ohr and Dan went to bed and we sat with guests in the living room and chatted. Children had a habit of sleeping together on the carpet. After a while I went to check that the children were sleeping well and for some reason I could not recognize the face of light. I got close to him, and realized that Dan, before he fell asleep … enjoyed a piece of work on his brother’s face, taped it with newspaper scraps, painted it with gouache and toothpaste, finished the work and went to sleep. ” Dan said that his favorite song was “In the End” by Linkin Park, and he said of himself: “I spend most of the day in front of the computer. “He likes to go out with his friends to play football with them and talk,” to listen to hip-hop and rap music, to be on the computer and to drive the parents crazy … Read books occasionally – best thrillers. See a lot of comedy films. “At the age of eight, Dan wrote a letter in memory of Yosef Zelniker, the uncle of his father Moshe, who fell in the War of Independence:” Dear Joseph, I know you were killed for us and I do not know if you know me. Then you will know that I am Dan, the son of your brother’s son. I wanted you to know who I was and why I came to visit your grave every year, and I’m sad you were killed. So I wrote you a small, touching song that I’m sure you have left. The sadness goes deep into the Lev, piercing a hole in the Lev. But I understand that you are with all of us, up there, in the Lev, sadly and happily. You guard, you protect, you love, you worry, you see, you’re angry, you’re Simcha, youLaughing. You have been with us, Yosef. “As a child, he used his school holidays to work in a variety of jobs – in the kitchen of the cafe, collecting supermarket carts or selling online storage for a fee, occasionally building sites. He was especially developed in his youth as his brother’s partner in the start-up EasyPay and opened an Internet radio station that he broadcast every night, in 2008. He was a part of my “first million” in the family, brainstorming and preparing a plan of action. , Dan, who had the professional knowledge, the programmer, Moshe the father and grandfather Zvika, provided emotional support and support. Dan studied the boundaries, he admired Or (Bernie), his older brother was a mentor and a role model, and Noam, his sister, shared many experiences, and after his entertainment he used to call her to his room and share stories about her When Dan wanted to elevate her mood and joy, they went out together for the car ride, Dan gave her the songs of the new bands he loved and the fashionable contemporary music, he preferred Israeli music and mainly admired Muki and the band Shevach S.

As an adult, he was a car enthusiast, loved to drive and traveled long distances traveling with his friends across the country. In high school he organized parties and worked in public relations for many parties. Dan was a skinny, handsome, shrewd guy, although he ate quite a lot of junk food, including ketchup with hamburger, French fries, pizza and schnitzel. He often made himself a pita with chocolate, made well-done in a microwave and a toaster, and drank a lot of chocolate. He was thin, but his hands were large and his physical strength was very large compared to his size. Following the family legacy and following his brother Orr, Dan enlisted in the Combat Gathering Corps. On July 24, 2010 he began his training course as a combat soldier; But after three weeks in basic training, due to medical problems, he underwent a fracture surgery that prevented him from continuing to escape the runway.

Later on, he took a course in wireless communications and encryption and served as a noncommissioned officer at the Sasa base in the north, and during his service, he shared his thoughts with Facebook in short sentences: “It’s good to close our country!” ! “Corporal Dan fell in the line of duty on June 20, 2011. He was twenty years old when he was brought to the hospital. Was buried in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, Tel Aviv, and left his parents, brother and sister, and the family wrote on Dan’s grave: “Dandush, Tituf, Ahar Laor and Noam. Love and miss, you are with us forever … “His mother eulogized him:” You must see that we are surrounded by many people of you and ours. I can thank you for your choices. Some of my concerns about you were superfluous. … and you have a place in my Lev that can not be described in words. Only I know! You always comforted me if only in your presence. “Noam and Or are my present and my whole here, and you are complete in my future.” In a letter that his brother’s light describes, he describes the deep connection between them: “A whole year has passed, a year without you, a year without all the things that characterize you. And believe me, that’s a lot! Change without your voice, a year without your laughter. A year withoutMy quarrels with you, a year without your support. What I would not give for another day. … It takes me half an hour, an hour, that we’re sitting smoking a cigarette in the car on the way back from Tzipi and Zivika, or from Amalia and Yano, seventy of the food and the digging of all the people. Half an hour in which I can say how much I love you and how much I appreciate and admire you. You know, it’s not the kind of compliment I’d let you go every day. And for that I’m sorry, but it’s because of my desire as a big brother to challenge you and try to take a little more out of you, to see how far you can get. And believe me, I have not seen the end yet. … I miss you. I miss the conversations with you, the consultations with you … your strange determination to get things you wanted. I miss your optimism. I miss the vitality and joy of your life! I miss your abilities. “Dear Dan, as someone who had many hours with you, I would like your tombstone to be a monument and a symbol of the eternal smile that was always smeared on your face, for the kindness, for the pleasant manner, for the simplicity of the way, for doing good To others. “I always had a good feeling that I knew I had you! That no matter what happens, I can always call you and know that there is someone who will listen to me and invite me out with him, if I feel a bit quieter than everyone. “” Cruel and unbearable fate, “the family friend eulogized. And a good one, a flower that grew and grew in an exemplary family. An approved family, love and concern characterize her, a family that is fun to be with. Full of humor, laughter, and a lot of good humor. “” Bernie has no brother anymore, “wrote a friend of Or and Dan.” It’s going through my mind again. How does he have no brother anymore? I ask myself. I just refuse to accept, refuse to accept the fact. Bernie’s brother, this curious little boy with so many questions, who was in our house without a break, who became a charismatic man, a figure among his friends, is no longer here. … Titoff, as I loved to call you, to laugh at you … You have not been here long enough … You have not conquered the world as I am sure you would. “Dan, I love you, I miss you and the longing only gets stronger.” His friend also noted her trust in Dan: “I miss your smile, your big smiling eyes, the bright, questioning eyes you gave so much. How much I miss talking with you, conversations about so many topics, your determination to achieve and your thoughts about the future. How I always thought to myself: How smart are you. I loved Dan the boy so much, and on the other hand, Dan, the older guy in you. I always believed with all my Lev that you would go far. “There is no one you met in your life that you did not touch, no one you knew who did not love you, and no one you met in your life that you do not miss.” The family made a film in his memory telling everyone about Dan from his personal point of view. The song was written by Michal Haly, a childhood friend, and was recorded and uploaded to his memory, in his memory, with longing and sorrow, and spoke about the special conversations, his warm embraces and the closeness that they felt towards him. For YouTube, there will be no doubt that he will be here forever!
