Mirav Shakron, widow of Natanel Shakron, of blessed memory, who was murdered in a shooting attack on the eve of Yom Kippur near Neve Tzuf, eulogized him in tears at the funeral procession, said that in his last second he warned Yoav, and described him as a family man who had planned down to the details a family trip abroad that was supposed to leave the following week.

Mirav, widow of Natanel Shakron, of blessed memory, who was murdered in a shooting attack on the eve of Yom Kippur near Neve Tzuf, eulogized him in tears during the funeral procession. 'Nati was a family man with all his might. He was always careful with honoring parents. When his parents passed away, he was careful to visit my parents,' she began the eulogy.

According to her, on the eve of Yom Kippur she went to her parents with the children to wish them a good sealing of fate, and Nati convinced the children to come. While she was in the car, he ran to her and said he would go to the immersion pool and that after dinner and the evening prayer they would all go out, so he would have time to finish cooking. About his last moments, she said: 'In his last second, he warned Yoav. Thank you, Nati, for your heroism and you saw Yoav.'

Mirav said that the following week they were supposed to fly abroad, and that Nati had planned the trip down to the details and packed a sukkah and food so the family would bond. 'Family was his entire world. He wanted to bring everyone together, to preserve the family. To our sorrow, a hero was taken from us and we will have to deal with the new situation. My Nati, I will try to preserve the family,' she added.

She ended the eulogy with a description of his character: 'He was a quiet and humble man, wise, acting with discretion. A man of kindness who cares and supports those in need. A man of simplicity. Slowly, I am understanding the hero he was.'
