We lost Erşan Öncel on February 17, 2023. Our dear Erşan was a very special person with a kind heart, a constant smile on his face, and understanding towards everyone.
Erşan had a promising career, until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in his 30s. He fought the cancer with unwavering determination for over 15 years, showing incredible strength and kept his positive attitude throughout his journey.
Erşan was fortunate to have found true love in his beloved wife, Başak. He leaves behind his cherished son, Arda, who is currently studying in Budapest.
His love for RC was limitless, and he dedicated himself to serving our school as a board member of RKMD until his final days. Erşan's passion for education and his commitment to making a difference in the lives of others will always be remembered.
Farewell, dear brother. You will forever live in our hearts.
