Avi Dadon, 44: Devoted dad ‘with the biggest heart’
Murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on Oct. 7
Avi Dadon, 44, from Afula, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.
He attended the rave with his childhood friend, Shay Muzzafi, and Shay’s girlfriend, Neta Boaziz, both of whom were also slain that day.
Avi was buried in Rishon Lezion on October 10. He is survived by his wife, Revital, their three children, Liel, Or Yosef and Yahli, and his sisters Talia and Orly. He was predeceased by his parents, Amalya and Yosef.
His friend Hai Binyamin wrote online to “Avi my dear brother, I can’t believe you’re no longer with us.”
“We lost you in a place that you loved so much,” he added. “Thank you for all the memories, the experiences, the good moments we went through together. Rest in peace my dear friend.”
Revital wrote online that her husband was “the man with the biggest heart I knew. Helping others was his highest value. A dedicated father, the most dedicated in the world.”
Avi was a homebody, she wrote, “and always preferred spending time with family. A hard worker and a laborer, he was never afraid of hard work. Brave, determined, and a big dreamer — that’s just a small part of what he was.”
He was also very dedicated to Jewish traditions, she said, and “he loved my cooking, especially the fish I would cook for Shabbat.”
Marking what would have been his 45th birthday, Revital wrote: “Our beloved Avi… you are missed in every single moment, we love you, we are pained and we are missing you.”
