Murat Seyitoglu Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Franklin Funeral Home, Inc. - Franklin Square on Jan. 19, 2026.
Murat Seyitoglu, of West Hempstead, NY, passed away on January 10, 2026, leaving a legacy of kindness and peace. He was a gentle soul and a friend to all who knew him.

His warmth will be most deeply missed by his family. He is survived by his devoted partner, Barbara Butterman; his children, Ali and Amy; and his sister, Zileyha. He adored his two granddaughters, Charlotte and Penelope, who will forever carry their grandfather's loving spirit in their hearts.

In his 77 years, Murat met every person he encountered with a welcoming smile and an open heart. To know him was to have a friend. He will be remembered for the kindness he showed to all and will be deeply missed for his warmth and the gentle spirit he shared so freely. The world will remain infinitely brighter for having had him in it
