David Wadman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 10 to May 17, 2017.
David O. Wadman
July 22, 1943 - April 18, 2017

David Wadman, a Park City resident for 21 years, was born in Chicago and raised in Southern California.

He graduated from UCLA and the USC Marshall School of Business and pursued a successful career in the new and burgeoning computer industry. David met his wife of 35 years, Libby (Tuddenham), through their respective careers. They and their two young daughters, Alexandra (Los Angeles) and Whitney (New York City), moved from Manhattan Beach, California, to Park City in 1996.

David is remembered for his love of travel and food, and for his flawless sense of style. He contributed to the community through his participation in the Park City Film Series and the Sundance Film Festival. He ran the Film Series concessions booth at the Santy Auditorium until a series of ever more severe strokes robbed him of the ability to participate and ultimately ended his life.

David is survived by his wife and daughters. He continues to serve his community by participating in the University of Utah anatomy and neurobiology cadaver program.

An open house in celebration of David will be held at the family home in Park City, Saturday, June 10, from noon to 6 p.m.

The family would like to thank the Neurology Department at the University of Utah, and employees at Care Works Hospice for the amazing care they provided David. Most of all we would like to thank Alex and Tava Whitt, and everyone else at the Beehive House in Park City, for the incredible love, care and support that was extended to David and to the family during the last two years.

I am very sad to hear of Dave's passing.

I new Dave for more than 20 years. The last 10 years we worked together in Salt Lake City. He was the most intellectual and detailed person i had ever worked with. He was very passionate in all aspects of his life. We shared many stories over a glass of wine or single malt scotch, which he was very knowledgable and proud of his scotch collection.

My deepest sympathy to Libby and the children.
