Master Sergeant

Mark Kononovich Z”L

Fell in battle: י"ב שבט תשפ"ד | 22.01.2024

A fighter in Battalion 8208 of the 261st Brigade.

He was 35 years old at the time of his death.

 

Son of Albettina and Alexander, and brother to Yevgenia and Daniel.

Mark and his partner, Orel, were the proud parents of four children — Tair, Michael, Yehonatan, and Noya.

 

On October 7, 2023, Mark was called up for reserve duty and served as an infantry soldier.

He lived in Herzliya.

 

Mark’s guiding principle throughout his life was a simple yet profound saying — one easy to understand but hard to live by:

 

“Happy is the person who can give without constantly remembering it

and receive without ever forgetting it.”

 

Mark had a heart big enough to embrace the whole world.

He was a man of pure generosity — giving wholeheartedly, without ever expecting anything in return or seeking recognition for his good deeds.
