Roi Maimon, son of Ariela and Yair, was born on the 21st of Elul, 5759 (September 2, 1999) in Haifa and grew up in Afula. He was the brother of Neta, Tamar, Ora, and Yoel, and the partner of Noya.
Roi was guided by a strong moral compass, determination, and a deep sense of justice. He had a profound love for people and animals and followed a vegan diet.
Roi enlisted in the IDF Combat Engineering Corps and served in the elite Yahalom Unit. During his combat medic course, he discovered a passion for medicine, and in November 2020, he began the IDF Paramedic Course. After completing his training, he returned to his unit and began serving as a combat paramedic.
After completing his military service, Roi continued to volunteer as a paramedic with Magen David Adom (MDA) and United Hatzalah, saving lives and giving back to his community. His commitment to helping others was a reflection of the generous and caring person he was.
Roi fell in battle during the Swords of Iron War on the 27th of Tevet, 5784 (January 8, 2024), in a truck explosion in central Gaza. He was 24 years old. Roi was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Afula. He was posthumously promoted in the reserves to the rank of Master Sergeant.
