Floyd Stanley Clark
With sadness in our hearts, but a lifetime of love and memories to cherish, the family of Floyd Clark announces his peaceful passing at the age of 85 on April 12, 2013 at the Luther Special Care Home, Saskatoon.
Floyd was born on February 8, 1928 in Davidson, Sask. to Fred and Bertha Clark. On June 19, 1954 he married the love of his life, MaryAnne Jorgenson from Regina. They farmed in the Girvin/Craik rural community where they were blessed to raise their family. In 2009 they moved to Saskatoon where Floyd enjoyed the company of many friends who came for visits and also watching his favourite TV channel “Oasis”…or as he always called it “Osoyoos”.
Floyd was a quiet, gentle and patient man. Farming was his passion but his greatest pride and joy were his family whom he cherished deeply. He blessed our lives with his kind heart and generous spirit. Through difficult times, there was never a harsh word or any self-pity, only endurance, strength of character and expressions of thankfulness and joy, always being a living example of love and kindness. The way he lived his life is the legacy he left us: He was steadfast and committed to his family and had a personal relations and strong belief in a loving God. He never lost his great sense of humour, even to the end.
Floyd ad MaryAnne spent many winters as snowbirds in Palm Springs and Hawaii. Camping in the summers were also a highlight. He also loved fishing and hunting.
