March 26, 1974 to September 4, 2016
It is with deep sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Clinton Ronald Mader of Golden, B.C.
Clinton is survived by Leanne Smyth; sons, Taylor and Austin Mader; his father, Brock (Donna); brother, Blaine (Leanne); grandfather, Ronald Mader; aunts, Laura, Valerie, Rhonda, and Dom; uncles Tim, Warren and Marty; nieces, Katelyn and Maddison; nephew, Joel; cousins Andrew, Brock, Jarren, Kai, Zack, Mike, Jamie, Darren, Miles, Tara and many friends.
Clint was born at Port Hardy, Vancouver Island, B.C., while growing up, he loved fishing, camping, curling, baseball, football and golf. At a young age, he had already made 2 holes in one at the Seven Hills golf course in Port Hardy and loved the game of golf throughout his life.
Clint went off to college, where he met Leanne. They moved to Lillooet, where his brother Blaine lived, and he got a job at the Mill and along came Taylor and Austin.
Clint moved to Golden and got a job with LP, where he worked for the last 15 years. While in Golden, he watched his boys grow into young men. Clint took pride in his job and cared deeply for his co-workers. He had many good friends, and if you knew Clint, it wasn’t hard to like him. Always a positive and caring person.
Did we mention the Saskatchewan Roughriders? Clinton was the Biggest fan from a young age, it was Riders all the way. He loved the team so much he named his boys Taylor after Taylor Field in Regina and Austin after quarterback Kent Austin, now that’s a loyal fan.
Clint’s Biggest love was his sons, Taylor and Austin; they were his everything.
Clint will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
There will be a celebration of Clint’s life at the Golden Curling Rink on September 24th, 2016, at 3:00 pm.
