Official Statement on the Passing of Arne P. Nielsen
North American Division Office of Education
We are sad to share that Arne P. Nielsen, North American Division vice president for education, passed to his rest this morning, June 3, 2024, after several days in the intensive care unit dealing with complications from an acute illness.
The family asks for privacy at this time as they grieve this very unexpected loss. Please pray for the Nielsen family. More information will be shared later.
In November 2018, Nielsen was voted to serve as the division’s vice president for education; previously he served as NAD director of secondary education and accreditation.
Again, please respect the family’s privacy and surround them with your prayers.
Sincerely,
