Dave, a 20+ year veteran of the industry, passed away in July after suffering a massive stroke in late June. His employer, Stuart Gibbons of Le Mark, said: "To say that Dave will be sorely missed by many would be an understatement.
"His career in the entertainment industry had encompassed many skills and experiences from his early days with Stage Electrics through to his time at Lighting Technology, before joining Le Mark in 2010.
"Dave had enjoyed many successes during his career. To become a part of the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremonies installation team made him very proud. He took on the incredibly difficult 7,500 square meter London street map stage floor design challenge set by Danny Boyle, creating new and innovative installation methods and using ground-breaking printing technology in order to accomplish the largest outdoor installation of custom printed performance floor in the world.
"Dave, as many will know, was both gregarious and fun-loving and enjoyed life to the full. He was never more at home than on a stage or show floor and became a well-known figure at trade shows around the world."
