Clark Kirby Cadman, born on Nov. 15, 1945, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at the age of 78, with his family by his side at Royal University Hospital.
Clark is survived by his devoted wife, Donna Cadman, who he married in 1969; and his cherished sons, Kirby (Vanessa) Cadman and Corey (Kerri) Cadman. He was a proud grandfather to Kianna, Carter, Ellery, Serenity, Quinne, Kaden and Parker. He is also fondly remembered by his brother-in-law Deryl (Sharon) Morgan and their children, Shauna and Byron (Lorelei). He will also be remembered by many cousins and extended family members. Clark was predeceased by his father, Kirby Clark Cadman (1958); his mother, Joyce Sylvia Hall (2012); and his stepfather, William Hall (1997).
Clark was born and raised in Saskatoon, where he attended the University of Saskatchewan. During his time at university, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1970. Clark began his medical career as a locum in various locations throughout Saskatchewan before settling in Prince Albert, where he practiced as a well-known family physician for 22 years. Clark also served as a medical consultant for the Workers Compensation Board in Ontario, Thunder Bay, Regina and Saskatoon before retiring in 2010.
In the last few years before retiring, Clark and his wife, Donna, built their retirement home outside of Saskatoon. Clark cut every board and hammered every nail himself with Donna by his side. He would always say he may be a professional physician, but he also could be a professional of anything, be it wiring a plug or mudding drywall. He spent much of his time working on various projects in his shop, always eager to tackle any challenge. Cars were a love of Clark's, most notably his Corvettes over the years.
When not busy with his practice or at home, Clark enjoyed many years at Emma Lake and Besnard Lake, where he spent his time hunting, fishing and building canoes. The cabin at Besnard Lake was a special project, as he built a log cabin on an island and displayed his hunting achievements there.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Clark's name to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Condolences may be left on the Hillcrest Funeral Home & Cemetery website.
