Onur Kılıç (23), who tried to stop the tank under the control of the coup plotters in ISTANBUL on July 15, 2016, was martyred by sniper fire. Stating that they received the news of his martyrdom in Rize, where they went the day before for his son Onur Kılıç's engagement, Yüksel Kılıç said, "Two days before July 15, we were going to go to the hometown to ask for a girl. The deceased did not come, he said, 'I will come on Friday'. Onur opposed me for the first time that day. I got angry, saying 'Why don't you come, we are going for you'. Onur opposed me for the first time that day, he did not come." Stating that they talked to his son on the phone on the night of July 15, Kılıç said, "We gave Onur advice to protect himself, protect himself, stay away. He said, 'Father, the homeland or me? I came here for my homeland.' My son was very brave. You can live without a child, but you cannot live without a homeland."
