Yusrinal remembers Kuncoro as a figure who is highly dedicated to Arema, besides being warm, humorous, firm, and loyal friends.
Arema FC management invites all parties to pray for the deceased.
"Farewell to the legend, your loyalty is eternal. May the family left behind be given fortitude," said the club's management.
