With profound sadness and heavy hearts, the Shanette team mourns the untimely and tragic loss of our beloved colleague and friend, Davy Kluz, who passed away in a traffic accident. His sudden departure has left an indescribable void in our company, in our hearts, and in the lives of those who had the privilege to know him.
Davy was more than just a team member—he was part of our Shanette family in every sense of the word. He began his journey with us at the young age of 16, working with incredible dedication on the factory floor. Over the years, his hard work, curious mind, and infectious enthusiasm propelled him into a new chapter within the company, recently taking on a role in the drawing office—a testament to his growth, potential, and unwavering commitment.
Davy’s presence was one that could never go unnoticed. His bright, genuine smile had the power to light up the building. Whether it was a friendly nod in the hallway, a helping hand extended without hesitation, or his warm laughter echoing in the workspace, Davy made a deep impression on everyone he encountered. His kindness was effortless, his spirit uplifting, and his passion for life inspiring. He truly was the kind of person who brought people together.
He wasn’t just admired—he was deeply loved. From day one, Davy carried himself with humility and a quiet strength that earned him the respect of colleagues across departments. His transition into the drawing office was not just a professional milestone, but also a reflection of the trust and admiration we all held for his abilities and character. Davy had a bright future ahead, and we are heartbroken that it was taken from him so soon.
This loss is felt all the more deeply as Davy’s father, Bart, and his brother, Matt, are also cherished members of the Shanette team. To them, and to all of Davy’s loved ones, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. Please know that you are surrounded by love, support, and an entire community that grieves with you.
We are reminded, in moments like these, of how fragile life truly is—and how important it is to cherish every smile, every conversation, and every shared experience. Davy Kluz was a light in our lives, and although that light has dimmed far too soon, its warmth will linger in our memories forever.
Rest in peace, dear Davy.
You will never be forgotten.
Your memory will live on in the walls you helped build, the friendships you formed, and the hearts you touched.
With love and remembrance,
Your Shanette Family
