Obituary: Dave Nelson

It is with great sadness that Selecta Systems has announced the passing of its friend, colleague and regular PiGs event attendee Dave Nelson. After a long and inspirational battle with illness, Dave passed away peacefully on 28 February 2024 with his family at his side.

Dave joined Selecta in February 2016 as a Business Development Manager, or “number one sales rep” as Dave would often refer to himself. It was this kind of humour that saw reportedly Dave quickly became a likeable and valuable member of the Selecta family, building up an excellent rapport with staff, customers and industry colleagues.

He had already built up an excellent relationship with a number of of the Selecta team prior to his employment having been a longstanding employee of one of our customers, Goldstar Trade Frames. With his employment at Selecta, Dave brought a wealth of fabrication and industry experience, complimented with his infectious personality and humour.

Sales Director Andy Green and General Manager Bob Heeley, often referred to by Dave as his “work dad”, led the tributes to the popular Business Development Manager, saying: “we are deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend and colleague. His friendly and approachable personality made him a very popular figure with all who met him.

“We have not just lost an experienced and valuable member of our team, but also a friend and integral part of our Selecta family. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Sarah and children, Tyler and Demi at this extremely difficult time. We also extend our thoughts to family, friends and all who had the pleasure of meeting Dave. He will be greatly missed, but fondly remembered by all.”

Details of Daves funeral have been posted on the Selecta Systems website for those wishing to pay their respects.
