Robert Morrison Cady, 89, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2026, in Allen, Texas. He was born on February 9, 1937, in Toronto, Canada, to his loving parents, George Walter Cady and Gladys Lavina (Morrison) Cady. Robert was raised in Canada and proudly served in the Canadian Navy for five years.
Robert later built a career in the wholesale gift industry, where he worked in sales and developed many lasting relationships throughout the years. On June 12, 1999, he married the love of his life, Katherine Elaine Smith, in Richardson, Texas. Together, they shared many years of love, companionship, and cherished memories.
A significant part of Robert’s life was his dedication to Alcoholics Anonymous. For 64 years, he was actively involved in AA and devoted himself to helping others find hope and recovery. His willingness to share his experience, strength, and encouragement touched the lives of many, and he found great meaning in supporting those on their own journeys toward recovery.
Robert was also a man of faith who enjoyed reading the Bible and found comfort and inspiration in its teachings. He will be remembered for his caring heart, his service to others, his steadfast faith, and the many lives he touched throughout his life.
