Cameron spent the majority of his life in Fort Nelson, BC before moving to the Okanagan in

2019 to receive medical care. Prior to falling ill, Cameron was a tug boat captain. He started

working on the boats as a child alongside his father Ed Cooper and brothers on the Nelson,

Liard and McKenzie rivers and the McKenzie Delta. Eventually, Cameron bought his own boat,

the MV Malta II. He was a hardworking man, astute businessman, a voracious reader, country

music fan, a loving spouse, father and grandfather and a beloved uncle and friend. He will be

forever remembered by all who knew him.
