It is with heavy hearts that we pass along news

It is with heavy hearts that we pass along news of the death of our colleague, David Piersma, on June 8, 2018.  Needless to say, we will all miss him more than words can express. Our deepest condolences to his wife Emily and their families.  A bright new talent in our electrical engineering department, he was not just our co-worker but a member of the Quartek family.

 

Piersma, David Gerald

Passed away, surrounded by his family and best friends at Juravinski Hospital, on Friday, June 8, 2018, at the age of 28. Loving husband and best friend of Emily Palamar-Piersma. Beloved son of Peter and Janet Piersma. Dear brother of Danae Piersma and Adam Piersma. Much loved son-in-law of Bill and Laurie Palamar and brother in-law of Christian Palamar. Dave will be greatly missed by his numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, extended family and many friends.

Dave was passionate about his new career as an electrical engineer with Quartek Group in St.Catharines. He enjoyed spending time at the cottage, working on his car, snowboarding, playing video games and board games, and watching movies with his wife.

  • After a meeting with a Quartek representative to discuss the project and Quartek’s reputation and experience with our type of project we were glad to bring Quartek on board to manage the project. We are very pleased with what Quartek has accomplished so far and look forward to working with them in the development of the cottage subdivision.
