(KNZA)--An international employee of Sabetha-based Wenger Manufacturing was among those killed in last week’s terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium.

A statement from the company confirmed 58-year-old Nic Coopman was killed in the March 22nd blast at the Brussels airport where he was in the process of checking in for travel within Europe for business purposes. He is survived by his wife.

A native of Belgium, Coopman began his career with Wenger in April of 2000. Coopman worked as a service technician for the overseas office in Antwerp. In that role, the company says he furnished his clients with commissioning, training and technical support; particularly specializing in electrical systems and process automation.

Company spokesman Lafe Bailey told MSC News that Coopman was the consummate technical service professional, incredibly talented yet very humble.

The statement says “ his calm manner, professionalism and dry sense of humor earned him significant respect and admiration from his clients and colleagues alike, and he will be sorely missed.”

Thirty-two people were killed in last week’s terrorist attacks in Brussels.
