Cameron

The funniest, sweetest person we ever knew left our family quickly and quietly after valiantly battling cancer. Our hearts are shattered.

Dad spent his young years in Antigonish NS before adventuring west to Vancouver where he met our sweet mum Valerie and then settled in Langley to raise their family.

Left behind are daughters Kelly and Kirsten (Pitr), nephew Glen (Ness) and his prides and joy: Maisie, Indie, Max, Lainey, Kierney and Lorraine. Dad is survived by siblings Jerome and Mary Cameron.

Dad did many jobs in his life but settled with FRPD for the majority of his career and retired in 2000 to become baby Maisie’s nanny and they shared so much love.

We will always remember our darling father as the strongest, sweetest, person who would make us scream laugh, he was unassuming but as soon as he started to talk, everyone was howling with laughter.

Mum and dad had and cherished so many friends and family, some of whom have left this earth. We know our mother was waiting for our dad with open arms and as soon as he had caught up with everyone (he was very social), he hit the green for his first round of painless golf since cancer had ravaged him.

Kirsten and I can’t express the depth of loss of our parents, but we would like to thank them for everything they ever did for us, for the lessons, for the love, the support and always the hard work.  As a family, we will now navigate our new normal, but we do it gratefully with so many lovely memories.

Thank you to Dr. Jenny Ko and the selfless hospice team in Mission, specifically to nurses Thami and Lucky who took care of our sweet dad and our hearts as we let him go.  A memorial will follow in the Spring as it was mum and dads favourite time of year. To our dad, we would like to say:  rest now, we will love you for eternity.
