Alexandre Look, 33, was among thousands in attendance at an outdoor techno music festival near the Gaza-Israel border on Saturday when it was attacked by Hamas gunmen, his father confirmed to CBC News.
Alexandre Look pictured in one of several photos his father posted to Facebook announcing his death Saturday.
About"Alex was a force of nature, endowed with a unique charisma and unparalleled generosity," Alain Haim Look wrote in a Facebook post announcing his son's death Saturday, accompanied by several photos of the two together.Devorah Shanowitz, program director and educator at the Chabad of Westmount, said there's "a tremendous sense of shock and a deep sense of grieving" in the Jewish organization, which Look's parents are a part of.
"I think what made this all the more shocking is that you just wouldn't expect that something would happen like that when a kid is out just travelling, going to a concert … he was just a normal young man trying to enjoy a slice of life in a very normal way."The Chabad has created a fundraiser for the Look family as well as a campaign to spread acts of kindness in honour of the victim.
