In Memoriam of:
In Loving Memory of the Innocent Souls Taken Too Soon. United in peace, their light shines on in the hearts left behind. October 7, 2023, a day of sorrow, but their memories guide us toward a hopeful tomorrow.
Corporal Nathaniel Young, z"l, a native of London and residing in Tel Aviv, was a lone soldier killed in the first hours of the Hamas terror attack, just over a year into his service in the 13th Batallion of the IDF's Golani brigade. Nathaniel studied at the Capital City College Group and was keen on traveling and music.
"We are heartbroken to share that our little brother Nathaniel Young was tragically killed on the Gaza Border yesterday."
- Gaby Shalev, sister
"[Nathaniel was] full of life and the life of the party, a music lover who was always willing to help anyone in need. He was so happy and thriving in Israel. He loved the country."
- Nathaniel's family
"‘Nathaniel was full of life and the life of the party – he carried the nickname DJ on base and at Benji’s house the lone soldier house that he lived at."
