E. Brian Clark
1946-2021
CLARK, Edward
“Brian”
Passed away unexpectedly at home on Saturday, May 15, 2021 at
the age of 75 years. Beloved husband and best friend of the late Rev.
Dr. Diane Clark (d 2014). Proud father of Elissa (Ian) Newby-Clark,
Erinn Clark (Steve Steers), Colin (Darcie) Clark and the late Joel
Clark (d 1974). Loving grandfather of Adrian, Alasdair, Saya, Gemma,
and Norah. Brian also leaves behind his faithful canine companion,
Sarah.
Brian spent his career in photojournalism, most of it at the
Waterloo Region Record. Brian was passionate about capturing
unexpected moments and loved to recall adventures he had while trying
to get just the right photo. As a photo editor and instructor at
Loyalist College, Brian was a mentor to many young photographers
throughout his career.
In retirement, Brian enjoyed sailing, building a model
railroad, watching the Toronto Blue Jays and spending time with family
and neighbours in the Village by the Arboretum. He was actively
involved in Lakeshore Yacht Club, Chalmers Community Services Centre
and a ParkInDance group. Parkinson’s slowed
Brian’s movements, but it did not take away from his sense
of humour, which will be missed. The family extends their thanks to
Brian’s doctors, Dr. Kyrie Little and Dr. Susan Fox, for
their care over the years.
Cremation has taken place. Private family graveside service
will be held Friday, May 21, 2021 at Maitlandbank Cemetery, Seaforth,
ON. If desired, memorial contributions to Chalmers Community
Service Centre (chalmerscentre.ca
or 519-822-8778) or to the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN Foundation
(UHNfoundation.ca/tribute or 416-603-5300) would be appreciated by the
family.
