Help Etop's family with funeral cost

Dear friends,
 
It is with a sad heart that we announce the tragic death of our beloved friend and colleague, Dr. Etop Esen. He is survived by Imeh, his wife, and his two beautiful children. Etop suffered a heart attack on Saturday Feb 27th during his routine jog.
 
Etop was a brilliant scientist and a true steward for people in the space industry and beyond. He was simply an extraordinary human being who always demonstrated integrity, kindness, and endless passion for his work, his family and his friends.
Etop brought tremendous joy to those around him. There will be a hole in our hearts with his absence.
 
As you can imagine, the family is devastated by the tragedy. We are reaching out to the community for donations to help offset his final expenses, and if possible to help relieve some of the financial strain Imeh will face during this difficult time.

Please join us in honoring Etop, as well as in enabling his family to heal. All donations will go directly to his wife, Imeh Esen.
 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. We will post an update once we have funeral arrangements finalized.
