Sean Davitshavili, 25: Joyful funster left a mark on everyone he met
Murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7
Sean Davitashvili, 25, from Beersheba was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.
When the attack first began, Sean’s parents called to check if he was okay, and he told them he was surrounded by police and security guards and added, “Everything is okay.”
Just after 9 a.m., Sean messaged a friend to say he was hiding in a portable toilet and wrote, “I have to get out of here.” That was the last message from him, and his body was identified five days later.
He is survived by his parents, Anya and Andrey, siblings, Lin and Letai, and two grandfathers.
After high school, Sean served in the Air Force and earned a degree in electrical engineering.
Six months after the war began, Anya wrote on Facebook that she still yearned for a good night kiss from Sean every night.
“I always remember the words I said to you, think about the words I didn’t have time to say, and imagine what I would say if I saw you again. I’m sure that even ‘over there’ you’ve found nice places to hike in, listen to music, and dance,” she wrote.
Lin wrote in a Facebook post that “everyone wanted to be near him.”
“He always made sure to gather as many people around him as possible and would accept every person as they were. He was one of the most optimistic, sensitive, and good-hearted people, and did everything with so much love,” she wrote, adding that he left a mark on everyone he met.
Sean’s friend, Adi, wrote on his government memorial page that he was “the best person and the purest.”
“You were an angel on Earth, you always saw the good and knew how to laugh and enjoy the situation. He sought peace, loved life, dancing, and free love,” she wrote.
Another friend, Shachar, wrote that he had been like a brother to her.
“Keep having fun up there, my friend, and we will try to be our best for you and like you,” she wrote.
Elad, a former coworker, wrote that his smile was “felt and missed in every step in the hallways, labs, and cafeterias.”
Israeli TV host Haim Etgar made a memorial post on social media for Sean and wrote that his friends and family had shared that Sean was “a cheeky boy from a young age with a constant smile on his face.”
“He was an inspiration and example to his siblings. The sort of person who enjoyed life, wanted to have fun, and loved music and parties. He was full of joy and took life lightly and always believed in good,” he wrote.
