Glen Nelson, the owner of The Matrix Corporate Center in Danbury, passed away on December 20 in a car accident near his home in Port Jefferson, NY. The Matrix family has released the following statement on the passing of their leader.
The Matrix family is deeply saddened to report the tragic and untimely loss of leader, Glen Nelson. Glen was lost to us on Sunday, December 20th at the age of 48 in an unexpected automobile accident near his home in Port Jefferson, NY. Glen leaves behind a tremendous legacy, both professional and personal, and is grieved by his entire family, especially his four children Brianna, Phillip, Christopher, Gina, his fiancé Susan, her son Mitchell, as well as his former spouse and mother of his children, Sandra Nelson.
Glen rose from humble beginnings to create a business which was built almost entirely on his strength of character. His humility would prevent him from attributing his success to anything other than the team around him, which he called incredible, and his own good luck. Glen found success while upholding an irreproachable standard of honor, integrity and loyalty. His work ethic, dedication, and single-minded focus allowed him to achieve things that seemed impossible in the moments they were happening and even now in retrospect.
The company remains dedicated to the goals that Glen laid out for it. The leader of over 350 committed employees left his team in the capable hands of his most trusted advisors and confidents. They will now begin the work of honoring his legacy.
It is with heavy hearts that we will lay Glen to rest at a time and place to be determined shortly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those whose lives intersected with Glen Nelson on his journey through life and are now burdened with the sadness of his passing.
We ask that there is no speculation, there are three (3) eye witnesses who confirmed that Glen, in fact, was NOT speeding.
