After a battle with a serious illness and five months and after it was revealed that he fell ill and was hospitalized in the oncology department at Ichilov Hospital, Modi Bar-On, the media and culture man, passed away today (Monday) at the age of 59 after a battle with cancer.
His funeral will take place tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5:30 PM in the civil cemetery "For proper rest", in Ganei Esther in Rishon Lezion.
In the world of politics, media, culture and sports, it was difficult to say goodbye to the beloved presenter and one of them was also the journalist Ron Kaufman, who worked for many years alongside Bar-On on the sports channel.
Kaufman praised his good friend as part of the sports program on 103FM radio: "Already on Saturday night, in the pre-broadcast of the Champions League final on the sports channel, I internalized that the ceremony was over. Meir Einstein, for the program 'Saturday in the stands' that was broadcast five and a half years ago, in which Miura announced to the nation that he was seriously ill.

"Moody did not preach. The spokeswoman for Ichilov Hospital was the one who preached the gospel, because Moody was a man who kept his privacy just like 'Miura'. They were not types of brass. Rare voice signature.Modi was an institution of culture and an institution of sports:
"Stand-up, screenwriting, a documentary that is rare in quality, and a personal presentation that relied on a love of sports, especially football. The concept 'spend' he created has accompanied the Champions League broadcasts for the past 26 years. Given the videos he wrote and directed ahead of the Champions League finals were a creation, they could not be defined otherwise.

"He also loved Israeli football. Even the few times he visited, he did it with the grace of an artist and focused on the body of interest and not the body of a person. Moody fell ill in December 2021 and underwent all the harsh treatments that destroyed his body. This afternoon he finished his term here.In the next season of the Champions League, he will already be presenting the studio in heaven, looking at God and his Gemata angels and telling them: Have fun.
"It is said that every person has a substitute. Moody Brown will have no substitute, because he was rare in quality. May his memory be blessed."
