This memorial website was created in memory of our Dear Father, Husband, Brother, Uncle, and Friend Hakan Bahçeci, 50 years old, born on December 12, 1969 and sadly passed away on May 26, 2020.

Hakan was a very special man who touched so many people with his acts of kindness and integrity. He also loved his country, Turkey and made many contributions to people, society and charities there. Now with Hakan's passing, many people would wish to pay their respects and condolences to Hakan's Wife, Father and the Family. In that regard and in what would be Hakan's wish, please do not send flowers to his family, but instead please do give generously to his charity of choice, Combat Deforestation, Turkey.

Hakan was put to his eternal rest in Elmalık village, Bolu, Turkey following funeral prayers on Sunday, 31st May 2020. May his departed soul rest in eternal peace...

Sevgili arkadaşım Hakan,
Aramızdan bu kadar erken ayrılışını kabullenebilmiş değilim. Sen tanıdığım örnek, başarılı insanlardan birisin. Sadece iş hayatında değil, tüm hayatında... Eminim pek çok insana örnek oldun, destek çıktın ve ilham verdin. Hayata hep gülerek bakan, güçlü bir insan oldun. Sözcükler çok yetersiz üzüntümü anlatmaya. Ben seni en çok, okulda öğle paydoslarında, evden getirdiğimiz sandviçlerimizi yerken anlattığın hikâyelerinle ve o genç yaşlarındaki girişimcilik deneyimlerinle hatırlıyorum. Seni tanımış olmaktan çok mutluyum. Nurlar içinde uyu. Ailene ve tüm sevdiklerine yürekten sabırlar diliyorum sevgili arkadaşım.

I was shocked to hear of my old friends’ untimely death.
He was a true original ! A merchant, entrepreneur & risk taker in the classic old style that sadly we find so rarely these days.
He was always so enthusiastic and good humoured – a man who lived and loved life to the full.
He will be sorely missed.
My thoughts are with Deniz, the kids and all the Hakan Agro team

Hakan was a dear friend, a mentor, someone to look up to, a partner, a rock to lean on when going was tough, a buddy to share joy with when the times were good. I guess what i'm trying to say is that he always made the people around him feel better thanks to his boundless energy and his fighter's spirit. The void that's been left with his passing might never be filled, but his legacy will endure through the myriad of people that he touched and affected for the better. We will forever miss his smile and his lighthearted humor, if only he had more time, one can only imagine the adventures that lay ahead. With tears in our eyes, we pass our deepest condolences to Deniz and all the family members. Vlad, Greg and the rest of Actava Trading team

I cannot imagine how shocked you and the family must be at the unexpected passing of Hakan. It is such a terrible shock, and your loss is great.

Hakan will always be greatly respected throughout the pulse industry for his strategic thinking and global perspective.
He built up a global “empire” by persuading good people to join him.
He was always attentive – listening, learning and leading with great energy and enthusiasm.

We must recognise what he has done for GPC / CICILS as he “moved the needle” with IYP concept, and thinking to the future with establishment of Young Professionals

I hope Hakan’s family will derive some comfort from the outpouring of respect that will flow as this bad news travels the world. His sons can be very proud of all that their father achieved.
