It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Cameron. Cam ended his journey on August 5, 2011 surrounded with the love of the greatest treasures of his life, Bonny, Tammi, Cheryl, Karrie, Brayden, Rylan, Makayla, Kashlee, and Kytinn.

Cam was very thankful he did not travel this journey alone. With him were those who loved him dearly and will remember him always. Bonny his wife of 41 years, his mother Mabel, his girls Tammi (Bryan), Cheryl (Richard), Karrie (Brian), and his grandchildren Brayden, Rylan, Makayla, Kashlee and Kytinn, his sons by choice Warren, Heith and Josh.

Much love and thanks to all who selflessly gave of themselves in every way possible throughout Cams' courageous battle with cancer. Although not named, please know your actions, kind words and positive energy does not go unnoticed.

Special thanks to the friends and family who supported Cam and his ladies from the beginning to the end of his journey. Cams' brothers and their wives, Bob & Bonnie, Kel & Jackie, Malcolm & Carol, family and friends, Laverne & Rudy, Randy & Vera, Roland & Linda, Lavona & Bucky, Raymond, Steven & Cheryl, Audrey and Diane.

Cam was born May 23, 1951 in Enderby, BC and moved to Westwold at a young age, where he met a little girl who was to become his soul mate, Bonny. They were married in 1970 and lived in the Westwold, Monte Lake area where they raised their three daughters.

Cams' love of logging began at age 14 and after 45 years it still gave him a thrill to get up and go to work. He became partners of Martin Mountain Logging in the early 1980's and sole owner in 2007. He earned respect from everyone who worked with him. He never expected anyone to work harder than him or do anything he wouldn't do. He was truly the hardest working man ever. If you were lucky enough to know Cam, you were given a gift of a lifetime.

Cam had a contagious laugh and radiant smile that will be forever remembered and always missed. His love of nature, hunting and fishing was shared by many friends and family. All who knew Cam will remember him and his constant canine companions. To some he was known as the Dog Whisperer. It was very important for Cam to share these passions with his children and grandchildren; he spent countless hours patiently teaching them all they needed to know. His plan this year was to retire with his wife in their cabin at Scuitto Lake, of which they affectionately named "A Little Piece of Heaven". Although this did not happen we are sure his spirit will forever be tossing out the line searching for the big one or following the trail of the elusive mule deer buck, big horn sheep, elk or bear.

Cam, you will be forever loved,
and greatly missed.

We invite all to participate in The Celebration of The Journey of Cams' Life. Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Cam and Bonnys' home, 3620 Garrett Road, Kamloops (5 minutes up Highway 97, turn left on to Hannah Road and then a right on to Garrett Road).

Donations warmly welcomed to the SPCA in the honour of Cam Taylor and his love of dogs.
