In Memoriam of:

Sergey Shmerkin

Age: 32

From: Kiryat Shmona

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.

Master Sgt. (res.) Sergey Shmerkin, z"l, 32, served as a soldier in the 551st Brigade’s 697th Battalion, from Kiryat Shmona. Sergey fell in a deadly blast from a booby-trapped tunnel which kiiled a total of four soldiers. 

His partner Mai said over his grave that they planned to get married when he returned from the reserves. "We already talked about children," she paid tribute to him. "You were everyone's best friend, the most loved, the best, the tallest, the most beautiful"
