Ido Even

Ido was born in Kibbutz Be'eri two years after Alon. He was a bright, passionate child, agile, smart and kind. He had a wonderful sense of humor. Even when engaged by something, he would have one ear listening to conversations taking place alongside him and utter witty responses that amazed everyone around.

Ido loved soccer and played for the "Eshkol" soccer team. He was also an avid fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv. A year before his death, Ido celebrated a communal kibbutz bar mitzvah with his classmates and relished the event. Handsome and mischievous, he inherited his mother Rinat’s “lopsided” grin and love of life and simple joy in everything he did.

The Even family home was warm and inviting. Chen took care of the children. They were the center of his universe and his pride and joy. Rinat took care of the whole world, always available, always compassionate. The Even family home was a center of support and love for the kibbutz. Humble, surrounded by friends, loving and loved by all.

Tomer and Nir, an entire kibbutz stands with you together. Forever.

Ido Even was 14 at the time of his death.

May his memory be a blessing.
