Ron Nachman Obituary
His brother Dan said Nachman succumbed to cancer on Friday.
Nachman, known for his fiery personality and commanding media presence, helped establish Ariel in 1978.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu eulogized the mayor, saying Nachmann was "committed with every fiber of his soul to the revival of the Jews in their country and to building a flourishing city in Samaria."
Samaria is the biblical name for the part of the West Bank where Ariel is located. With 20,000 residents, it's one of Israel's largest settlements.
Palestinians see settlements as a hindrance to a two state solution as the communities are built on land they demand for their own state.

With greatest saddens and shock we learned about the death of Ron Nachman, an awesome man of incredible personal power and vision, an inspiration for so many people who had the privilege to know him; one of those who makes history by living their lives of strong beliefs and acting from their heart and soul. His outstanding magnetic personality and powerful leadership changed the reality of his country and his city, the city of Ariel. He knew what he lived for and he was not sparing any effort to fight for his great cause.
May he rest in peace and may his blessed memory be alive in the hearts of all of us who knew him.

Ron Nachman ,zikhrono livrakha, has always been a role model of Sabra to me, from the first moment when I and my wife Rachel arrived to Ariel from airport and were greeted literally at the gate of the city by its mayor. I greatly appreciated Ron's effort to bring as much as possible 'olim hadashim' to Ariel (45% of Ariel population today), to gain an official city status, and many more battles he won to the benefits of Ariel and the people of Israel.
I am in a deep shock and I send my deepest sympathy from me my wife and 3 children, 2 of which were born in Ariel, to Ron's family, and to people of Ariel who lost such a wonderful person.
