Guy Azar, 23, from Rishon Lezion, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.

He attended the rave with a group of four other friends, two of whom — Ben Hasid and Moshe Saadyan — were also killed in the attack.

He is survived by his parents, Levana and Ori, and his older sisters, Shir and Rotem. He was buried in Rishon Lezion on October 12.

Friends and family said Guy dreamed of opening his own clothing brand, and was a supportive and loving friend.

His friend Or Moshe who went to Supernova with Guy and managed to escape alive, described him as an “angel with a crazy life story who always maintained a smile — you always smiled at everyone and you infected us all with your unique smile.

“I never once saw you judge anyone, and you treated everyone equally and lit up every door you walked through… Your smile is etched into my memory, and I can’t even imagine you without a huge smile on your face, and I’m sure that also up there you have kept that huge smile.”

His friend, Meital Ben Ghozi, wrote on Facebook that Guy “was always better than this world, too good for this world. I am so happy that you are now seeing everything from above, and have the answer to any question you can think of.”

She continued: “I am so sad that you won’t get to live your life and to spread all the good in you and all your love and your smile. My heart aches with pain thinking about you and how your story has ended. It’s unimaginable and unbearable.”

His sister, Rotem, spoke about Guy in a memorial video for Channel 13.

“Gigo, ever since you were born you ruled the house,” she said, “whether you wanted to or not. Everything went by Guy’s rules… My brother, how is it logical that water continues to flow, that traffic lights continue to work, that people continue living, and you do not?”

Rotem apologized to her brother for not managing to save him: “I’m sorry I never let you win at any game. I’m sorry that I got annoyed when you didn’t refill the ice tray, I’ll even let you use the bathroom in my room — just come back. But you won’t come back.”

She said that she was sure Guy would want us “to continue to live. To remember your beautiful smile. To be happy and to love life, like you. Because even when things were hard, you loved life, and it loved you. And people loved you — a captor of hearts, a super hottie, go cause chaos up there in heaven. Lift things up a little, they must be sad about what’s going on here. Give them strength — and give it to us too.”
