I just got this and I know I am a bit late but Senad was agreat guy. Never afraid to say what was on his mind and always a smile on his face. I worked with at Boeing some years back and he was always the life of the party. I really looked forward to getting back to Cali to hang out with him. Rest Peacefully Brother. You are missed.

I just heard the sad news about Senad. I am so shocked and sad. I met Senad from work. He was such a nice person, always friendly and willing to help. He was so young, with so much opportunity ahead of him. I am deeply sorry for the great loss for his family, friends and colleague. RIP, Senad, I will always remember your friendly smile.

Senad touched the lives of many individuals while at Marengo High School. As a teacher of his, I always remember him for his quick wit and cheerful attitude. I do not doubt that any life he touched will feel the same. (Mr. "E")

I was a coworker of Senad's at Boeing. He was a great guy who always had a positive attitude and was such fun to be around. It won't be the same here without him. My deepest sympathy to the Basic family.

I worked with Senad at Boeing in Huntington Beach. He was a talented engineer with great aspirations. The world is a lesser place without him.

Senad transferred into my Simulation Products and Testbeds group in Boeing's Space and Intelligence Systems business unit in May 2011. It was by chance that I saw Senad's resume, and immediately, asked to meet with him in person. I was very impressed by his technical aptitude, drive, and helpful nature; I knew he would be a perfect fit for my group, and he was. Over the course of almost one year, I learned more about him and his exceptional work ethic. I regret that I will never be able to know him at a more personal level. I miss him and will always remember him; in particular his smiling face as he would knock on my office door and wait for me to turn around each time he came to visit me. I wish and hope for peace for Senad, his family, and his friends.

I am so sorry to hear about our loss. Senad was a good friend of mine and enjoyed going to lunch and networking events with him from time to time. He was always a joker and knew just how to make me smile, no matter how difficult my day was. He will be greatly missed as a colleague and as a dear friend.

I first met Senad at a Boeing Diversity Event in March 2009. He was on a panel discussion about generational differences and shared his views as a millennial. Within a year, Senad became President of a Boeing Affinity Group, BAAPA. Senad was an intelligent, kind and helpful person. I often told him he had great potential to become a future leader in the company. Senad is already very much missed. My deepest condolences to the Basic family.

My deepest condolences to the Basic family. I had the pleasure of working with Senad when he first joined Boeing as an actual employee. The stories that he told of growing up in Bosnia put into perspective how much we take for granted. I don't think Senad took anything for granted. He always had a positive attitude. He will surely be missed.

I will miss working with Senad at Boeing. He had a great attitude, was a lot of fun to be around, and I could count on him always coming through with his assignments. He left us much too soon. My deepest condolences to the Basic family.
Sincerely,
