Today, we share the very sad news of the passing of our colleague Dave.
Dave joined Roco Truck Bodies in June 2021 and quickly became an integral part of our team. His experience and technical knowledge were second to none, and he was someone many colleagues turned to for guidance and support. He may have preferred to stay out of the spotlight, but his quiet humour, dry wit and steady presence never went unnoticed.
Following a serious health scare in 2024, Dave took time to reflect and made a conscious shift to enjoy life more fully. Over the past year, it was clear he was doing just that — taking time for himself, travelling, and embracing a better balance, all very much in his own way.
Dave sadly passed away following a heart attack while on holiday in Tenerife over the Christmas and New Year period. He will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of working with him, and he leaves a gap that will be incredibly hard to fill, both personally and professionally.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Dave’s family, friends and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. He will always be remembered for his dedication to his work and his love for his dog, which he spoke about with real pride.
Rest in peace, Dave.
