Shay Muzaffi, 37: Electrician and dad of 2 loved extreme sports
Murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7
Shay Shalom Elior Muzaffi, 37, from Bat Yam, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Supernova music festival on October 7.
He attended the rave with his girlfriend, Neta Boaziz, and his close friend, Avi Dadon.
All three of them were slain when the festival was besieged by Hamas gunmen.
Shay was buried in Tel Aviv on October 10. He is survived by his two children, his mother, Chana, and his four older sisters.
The youngest in the family and the only boy, Shay grew up surrounded by love, according to a memorial website.
Shay worked as an electrician in central Israel. He loved extreme sports and was always pushing himself to the edge, including snowboarding, bungee jumping, rappelling and waterskiing.
Shay was a doting father to his two children from his first marriage, always ensuring they weren’t lacking anything, his loved ones said.
He and Neta met in 2021 and quickly became a couple, spending time together including at music festivals and blending their mixed families.
Shay’s cousin, Klara, wrote on Facebook that “I have no other word for you except perfect. You were the bro at every celebration, a father whose children admired him, a son who gave his mother great joy.”
“I don’t know anyone else like you,” she wrote. “My light, you spread so much joy for life in the world. So much optimism, you were so funny, you were so lighthearted, you had buckets of spontaneity, you were always pursuing justice, you were the most real person I knew — everything up front, for good and bad.”
Klara said Shay was “addicted to extreme sports, addicted to pure joy that enters the heart. Wherever you went, the good inside you left its mark… I’ll never forget what you were to me, your wisdom, your intelligence, your kindness were all endless!”
His sister, Vered, wrote on social media that “I always knew you were an angel.”
“You had endless love and you spread it around to everyone,” she wrote. “No matter what you went through you always saw the good in people, you never spoke badly about anyone. My Shayke, you are so misssed, your hug, conversations with you and with Neta, you had a magic that wherever you went your presence was felt.”
Vered said that “I was so proud of you, when people would ask if I was Shay’s sister I would fill with pride. I love you with all my heart.”
