Just about to establish a good business relationship with his industry. Unforgettable person in the global agricultural community. !A great soul left too soon . RIP

Hakan,
Bazı insanlar daima sevenleriyle yaşarlar. Güleryüzün, mütevaziligin, nezaketin, iyiniyetin , yardimseverliginle o kadar çok kalpte atmaya devam edeceksin ki bu pek az insana nasip olur. Iyi ki olgunluk yaşlarımızda da kopmadık, iyi ki Deniz'i çocuklarını tanıdık. Onlarla birlikte daima aramızda olacaksın.

Sevgili abimiz;

Hayatta iz bırakanların izinden gitmek en önemli görevlerden biri olsa gerek.

Sen iz bırakan oldun! Yol açtın, o yoldan nice gidenler olacak.

Vakitsiz kaybın tarifsiz acılara ve büyük bir boşluğa sebep oldu. Biliyoruz ki yerin asla dolmaz; ismini ve ideallerini yaşatmak seni sevenlerin ilk önceliği olacaktır...

Çok iyi bir insandın, iyi insanlar erken gidermiş, bu kuralı bozmadın. Ama aklımızdan ve kalbimizden hiç gitmeyeceksin.

Başta ailen olmak üzere; seni seven herkesin, fikrinin ve iyiliğinin uzandığı tüm insanların başı sağ olsun.

O kadar dua ve sevgiyle anılıyorsun ki eminim mekânın cennettir.

İAL'li kardeşlerinden Serkan Deniz...

My deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Hakan. I am saddened with this news. I met him on several occasions and he was always a kind, humble and gracious.

We are all in shock from this very sad news that Hakan is no longer with us.
Despite our companies were known to each other many years in this market, we have started to work together in the last 3 years.
With the work of Hakan s agent, we did a joint venture and worked together with full trust.
Hakan is a very big loss for everyone. we will miss his big heart and vision.

Rest in peace dear Hakan
Shalom Hatuka, Shintraco Ltd,

It is a big loss in commodity trading world. We lost a visionary, dedicated and loving leader.

His life is one worth living one lived well. A man of honour and dignity.

You will forever be in our hearts.

He was our big brother, mentor before being our boss.

I feel very lucky to spend quite long time close to him. I never thought he would leave us so early and I wish I would be spending more time with him when I had the opportunity.

Rest in Peace Hakan abi. You will be missed forever.

Hepimize once abi, akil hocasi, ondan sonra patron oldu.

Onu taniyip yaninda uzun bir zaman gecirebildigim icin kendimi cok sansli hissediyorum. Aramizdan bu kadar erken ayrilacagi hicbir zaman aklima gelmezdi. Keske firsatim oldugunda onunla daha fazla zaman gecirebilseydim.

Nurlar icinde yat abim. Seni hep ozleyecegiz.

Hearing of Hakan loss was the saddest since my father passing away 38 years ago, who incidentally was only 50 and died while asleep through a heart attack.
I only met this great man 12 years ago, but since then a strong bond was developed, and I’m honored to say we became close friends. I was also lucky to become close to all his beloved immediate family.
My sincere condolences to all his family and to everyone who loved and was touched by him
Rest in peace my buddy. You will always be in my heart

I could still remember the days when Hakan came to visit Taiwan to attend my son’s wedding, and few years ago to visit him at an Expo in Dubai. I didn’t expect that the next time that I hear from him is his pass way.

It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to Hakan Bahceci. We had the honor to know him as a friend and colleague and spent many enjoyable occasions together all over the world. One of the first and most supportive DMCC ambassadors, he was a brilliant mind and a truly generous and kind person. He will be missed by us all here at DMCC. Our hearts go out to his family and colleagues.

A friend. A man with a goal who always went for it, always helped. Now more than a phone call away. Rest in peace, my friend.

by Marcela Villarreal as published under GPC's Weekly Pulse Pod:

The FAO is deeply saddened to learn about Hakan Bahceci's untimely passing. At the FAO he was a household name when it came to private sector involvement in the fight against hunger and poverty. From the Committee of Food Security's Private Sector Mechanism, which he Chaired in 2013, to his important role in the 2016 International Year of Pulses. The support of the Global Pulse Confederation was paramount to the huge success of that year. The FAO will miss him as a tireless and inspirational leader of private sector contribution towards a better world. I will also miss his kindness and his constant smile.

by Robynne Anderson as published under GPC's Weekly Pulse Pod:

Hakan was a visionary without parallel. He had a real ability to see a way to build a team, enter a new market and grow the global pulse sector. Nobody could dream a dream like Hakan.

by José María Lazara as published under GPC's Weekly Pulse Pod:

Today I lost a great personal friend, but the industry lost a great leader that still had much to give us. During our time at the GPC, we shared 20 years traveling the world and he was an example for all of us, offering guidance, sharing of his experience, but above all else doing what needed to be done. You left us too soon, Hakan. Dubai will never be the same without you. We will miss you dearly.

José María Lazara, GPC President (2007-2011) and founder of José María Lazara S.A. (Argentina)

I have very limited memories with him but I'm sure that I had million things need to be learn from him. I feel luck that I had a chance to met him and work with him even for a short time and I saw how he was generous. I want to express my most sincere condolence to his family. Rest In Peace.

Mr. Hakan a Gem of a person. A magnetic personality with his radiating, infectious smile. Words cannot describe his complete persona. He was a compassionate, kind and a people loving person. He liked hard working people. He was self disciplined and appreciated disciplined people. He empathized, equipped, encouraged, energized and edified people to push their boundaries and explore new territories to enlarge their domains and achieve milestones. He believed in people to rise above the normal and by hard work and knowledge as he himself was a hardworking and dedicated person. I personally remember once while working with him, when i sent an email requesting his answer in the middle of the night, he responded within 2 minutes. Working overtime was his routine. His sudden absence is an huge irreparable loss to the entire industry. His zeal and passion for work will continue to inspire his team, to carry on the fervour and keep progressing to achieve his vision. God bless Team Hakan.  

Bukadar gençlere önem veren, önünü açan tevazu sahibi birini kaybetmek gerçekten çok acı!
Bir şekilde kendisiyle tanışma şerefine nail olmuş şanslı kişilerdenim.
Allah gani gani rahmet eylesin.
Ailesine ve yakinlarina sabırlar diliyorum.

At this difficult moment, on behalf of Amul Family, I extend our condolences and pray to the Almighty to give his grieved family courage and the departed soul rest in peace.

Sometimes life becomes meaningless when it ends like this, we never know when we will be called!! We will leave everything behind when that day comes!!
I known Hakan for 20years, he was extremely supportive since the day I known him. Last i sat with Hakan was at his house invited by him for a lovely branch a little before the COVID. I saw his beautiful children and respected wife at that time. I will never ever forget the hospitality forwarded to me by him and his family, that was my last meal and a cup of coffee I had with him. Hakan was really a good person.

So long my Brother, Rest In Peace! You will always be remembered! You will always be praised for all your good deeds! I will never forget your kindness for my entire life! May your soul rest in peace!
We will miss you forever!
