Brian Ralph Cameron
1947-2025
It is with great
sadness that we announce the passing of Brian Ralph Cameron, husband
of Anne Cameron, of Kentville, Nova Scotia, who left us peacefully on
March 5, 2025, surrounded by family and loved ones at the age of
77.
Born in Loggieville,
New Brunswick on March 6, 1947, Brian was the son of the late Frank F.
& Vera (Gilliss) Cameron. He grew up on a small farm with his
three brothers and five sisters. He graduated from Chatham High
School, and he was an honours graduate of the Nova Scotia Agricultural
College in Truro, Nova Scotia. He worked for Ralston Purina, the
Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and spent thirty-five years with
David Brown United as a regional truck driver.
He was a former member
of the United Church of St. Paul & St. Stephen, where he was
president of the Men’s Group, a Cub leader, and a Member of
Session. He loved to help his family, friends, neighbours, and
strangers. He was kind, caring and willing to help anyone. He always
liked to tease others, to tell jokes and to pull pranks to connect
with others through laughter. He loved his life partner, his sons and
their families, his granddaughters, his grandson, and his
daughters-in-law. He always lit up with a big smile when any of his
grandchildren were in his presence, as he spent time playing board
games and cards with them in the front porch, taking them for a ride
on his lawn tractor or letting them blow the horn in his big
truck.
Brian is survived by
his wife of 56 years, Anne (Woodworth) and by his sons, Michael of
Kentville, Tom (Kerry) of Franklin, Tennessee & Bill (Carolyn)
of Greenwich and grandchildren: Kenzie, Sarah, Margot, Tavish, Emma,
Mary & Kate. He is also survived by sisters, Ethel Lockerbie
of Fredericton, N.B., Edie Gammon (Peter) of Bathurst, N.B., Lois
Keoughan of Bathurst, N.B., Jean Clements of Three Mile Plains, N.S.,
brother Archie Cameron of Bathurst, N.B., sister-in-law, Lynne Cameron
of Truro, and former daughter-in-law Shannen Pye, as well as many
nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by
his parents, sister Agnes Walls, brothers James & Lloyd
Cameron, sister-in-law Dianne (Johnston) Cameron, brothers-in-law Jim
Keoughan, Ray Clements, John Lockerbie & Bill Walls, nephew,
Glen Gammon, niece Toby Keoughan-Alexander and great niece Jennifer
Gignac.
