Lior Sivan
Lior was a man of truth, friendship, love and laughter.
Born in Melbourne Australia, Lior moved to Israel when he was 2 years old. He was raised in Bet Shemesh by his parents Dan and Adina, and he was a brother to Ilan, Gavriel, Maayan and Avinoam.
Lior attended elementary school at Etrog and went to Shaalei Torah for high school. After he graduated from high school he attended Hemdat, a pre-army preparatory school, which he loved so much. Lior made many lifelong friends and also left his mark on the next class at Hemdat when he continued there for a second year.
After Hemdat, Lior enlisted in the 7th Armored Brigade, where he became an officer and a team commander. After his military service, Lior studied mechanical engineering at Afeka College, a profession that he not only studied but applied in all areas of his life.
While serving in the army Lior began dating Liav, whom he knew as a teenager because they both grew up in Bet Shemesh. Lior and Liav quickly realized that they had found true love and the forged a special bond, sharing a relationship that everyone loved and admired.
Liav and Lior got married in 2014, and their son Tal was born in 2021. A few weeks after Lior was killed, he and Liav’s little princess was born. She was named Shaked Or, and she also continues Lior’s legacy.
Lior was killed on December 19, 2023, the 7th of Tevet, in a brave and heroic act when he defended and saved the lives of soldiers under his command and his tankmates.
Lior loved the world. He always saw the glass as half full, and infected everyone with his laughter and his smile.
