Yoav will be remembered for his friendship, kindness, and care for those he knew. 

He is survived by his father, Dan Ehrenhalt; sister, Daphna (Chris Jackson) Ehrenhalt and brother, Dzung Luong; also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and 2 nieces. He was predeceased by his mother, Laurie (nee Klein) Wolowitz.

His sister asks in place of donations that you get your heart checked, even if you think you are healthy, just for peace of mind.
