Robert Tinning, hardware and software practice manager at Sydney-headquartered Brennan IT, has passed away.
The company announced Tinning's death "with great sadness", calling him "a happy person who lit up the room".
Friends and partners are invited to comment on Robert's memorial page, where they can leave a condolence and share photos, stories and other memories.
Brennan IT chief executive Stephen Sims said: “With more than 25 years in the tech industry, Robert was well- respected not just by his colleagues but by all our distributors and partners.
"He was a happy person who would light up any room he walked into, enthusiastically greeting everyone. He was generous to a fault; a real team player. It is his friendly disposition and generous nature that we will all miss the most."
Tinning joined Brennan IT in March 2011, following a career that included roles at City Software, Harris Technology and NEC Computers.
Nicholas Lambrou, channel sales manager at HP Enterprise, said: “Rob was a genuine man. His dedication to his work and his family, and, in particular, his passion for our industry is something unfortunately not everyone is aware of. He was an ambassador and one of the less well-known guys in our industry, but his contributions were as big as his heart.”
