David W. Freeman, 50, of South Windsor beloved husband of Melanie (Brown) Freeman died unexpectedly in Warsaw, Poland while away on business. David was born in Southport, England on March 24, 1969, the son of William Freeman and the late Sheila (Webster) Freeman.

David grew up in England. He was a graduate of Cross Hall High School and went on to obtain his bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Preston Poly Tech. He received an M.B.A. in business management from the Manchester Business School. David started his career as an electrician working on aircraft circuit boards. He worked for Mania Technology, and came to live in the U.S. in 2000, settling in Texas. David was transferred to Connecticut and moved to South Windsor in 2004. Shortly after that he began working for AMK Welding in South Windsor, before taking a job with Lincoln Electric. He was currently working as a Global Business Segment Director with Lincoln Electric.

David married the love of his life and his high school sweetheart, Melanie Brown on June 2nd, 2000 after being together since 1989. Together they enjoyed raising their family, boating on the CT River and spending time at home. David loved mountain biking, Formula 1 racing, rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and traveling around the world. He most enjoyed being home with his family, working in the yard with his best friend (golden retriever, Star), spending time in the pool, and fixing anything that needed to be fixed. He was a generous man who would help anyone, anytime. David was the "life of the party". A kind, caring, loving, and devoted son, husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. He will be dearly missed.
