It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Shane Cameron, age 43 of Egerton.
Shane passed away peacefully, with his wife by his side, Wednesday, August 16, at the Aberdeen Hospital after a brief illness.
Born in Truro, he was a son of Richard and Ina (MacKenzie) Cameron.
He was well known for his free and adventurous spirit and his many outdoors excursions. Whether it was 4 wheeling, camping, boating, ski-doing, or his many trips to the camp.
He was loved by his many friends and co-workers at Burnrich Trucking, where he was employed and a co-owner for many years. Shane was always there to lend a helping hand. He was known to be quite the character at times but will be remembered for his kind and generous heart.
Shane is survived by his loving wife of 15 years, Marla (Robertson); two precious daughters Abigail and Mya, as well as fur baby “Diesel”. He is also survived by his parents Richard and Ina; brothers Ashley (Janet) and Matthew (Karen); and paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Bradley “Betty” Cameron. Other family members include uncles, aunts: Lawrence (Marlene) Cameron; Philip (Barb) Cameron; Gayle (Blair) Crooks; Gary (Lois) MacKenzie; Dougie (Melinda) MacKenzie; Valerie White (Ed); and cousins Kimberley, Brad, Adrian, Aaron, Tyler, Gary and Sherri-Lynn.
Shane was pre-deceased by grandparents Barry “Bunny” Cameron and Frampton and Louise MacKenzie; as well as mother and father-in-law Marjorie (Betts) and Donald Robertson.
