Dan Darlington, a UK native who formerly resided in Germany, had recently traveled to Israel.
Mr. Young attended Kenton, north London’s JFS Jewish comprehensive school, according to the Jewish News. In Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, he lived in the Bayit Shel Benji apartment for lone IDF personnel.
In a tribute, the family of Mr. Young stated, “Nathanel Young was vivacious and the life of the party. At Benji’s residence, where he lived as a lone soldier, and on base, he was called ‘DJ’
“He cherished his friends and family, and everyone adored him as well.” He loved music and DJed well.
“Always prepared to make any sacrifice for his family. An extraordinary brother and uncle. He flourished and was ecstatic in Israel. “He cherished his nation.”
Additionally, Nathanel was a gregarious individual whom my two young daughters adored interacting with and were always looking forward to his visits.
“When Nathanel could have taken his days off to sleep and re-energize, he instead found out where we were, which wasn’t always so close to him, and came to join us.”
