Gordon Kenneth Cameron
Gordon Kenneth Cameron, passed away on July 20th in Moose Jaw, surrounded by his family, at the age of 91.
Gordon, the oldest son of Agnes and James Cameron was born on September 11, 1928 and grew up and farmed in the Briercrest Community. He was active in the community and served as Clerk of Session and Representative Elder of Knox Presbyterian Church, on numerous boards and as a councillor for the RM of Redburn for 21 years. Gordon loved farming and was famous for the vegetables and produce that came from the family garden. He was well known for the giant pumpkins which delighted young and old alike. Family time was very important and he always looked forward to gatherings of extended family on the farm and the opportunity to visit and catch up. His faith was strong and he believed Sunday was a day of rest, yet he always got the crop off.
Gordon is survived by his wife of 65 years Jean; daughter, Sandra Cameron Evans (Jim Evans); son, Ron Cameron (Susan); his grandchildren Leah Atnikov (Izaak), Ian Cameron and Stewart Evans (Aime Nyhus); his sister Heather Duncan, sisters and brothers-in-law Joyce Cameron, Ruth and John Brooker, Bert and Susie Gordon and Leonard Kornfeld and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Agnes and James, and siblings Muriel Petcoff, Alan and Ross Cameron, brothers-in-law Howard Duncan, Bud Petcoff, nephew Keith Petcoff and nieces Grace Duncan and Diane Nash. Due to the current health restrictions in place, a Private Family Service will be held.
In lieu of flowers Memorial donations may be made to The Moose Jaw Health Foundation 55 Diefenbaker Drive, Moose Jaw, SK S6J 0C2. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Dr. Jan Vermaak and to the staff at Extendicare who provided Gordon with special care and support in the last months of his life. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550.
Most sincere condolences to all Gordon’s Family.
My condolences to the Cameron’s.
To Jean, Sandra and Ron and families: So sorry to read of Gordon’s passing this morning. He was such a good friend to our family when we lived in Moose Jaw bringing eggs (and sometimes chickens) to ease the family budget. The sound of his laughter filled the house each time as the family dog welcomed him – and only him – noisily from the minute the truck stopped in front of the house. If times were different, I would love to drive to Briercrest to see you all and to celebrate his life – well-lived and his eternal rest – well-deserved. Please accept my condolences!
Sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing, condolences to all. Barry and Gail
So sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. He was such a good kind man. Thinking of you all – Jean, Sandra, Ron and all the families.
Sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. He was very much a family man who did so much for his church and the Presbytery of Assiniboia.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
Sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. Take care, Jean, Sandra, Ron and families.
I will always remember Uncle Gordon’s big smile and open arms whenever we came out to the farm to visit. I looked forward to the amazing family reunions we enjoyed and the giant pumpkins they gave us for Hallowe’en. He was an amazing man who will live forever in our hearts.
We will miss Uncle Gordon. The family tributes at the service and the photos rekindled many fond memories of a wonderful man and a great uncle. Sincere condolences from the Kornfeld family.
Hello Jean,
We learned of Gordon’s death on The PCC website. Sorry to learn of your loss. You will miss him after so many years together. May God’s peace and the hope of our faith in a resurrected Lord surround you and your family.
This unexpected connection brought back many happy memories of our time with the people of the Knox, Briercrest congregation and particular memories of you and Gordon. He had not changed much over the years. The same pleasant smile was there.
Peace,
Peter and Dorothy Ruddell
