Mr. Gordon Edouard Cameron of Red Deer, Alberta passed away at home at Red Deer, Alberta on Saturday, January 3, 2026, at the age of 59 years. Gordon spent his life with curiosity, generosity, and a deep appreciation for the world around him. Born with a sharp mind and an exceptional memory, he carried those gifts throughout his life. His family settled in Ponoka, Alberta, in 1977, where he attended Ponoka District schools before completing high school in Lacombe. His intelligence and inquisitive nature were evident to everyone who knew him. Gordon began his working years on the oil and gas rigs and in construction. After a serious fall in 1988 that resulted in a broken back, he adapted with resilience and shifted careers. He spent nearly a decade driving taxi in Red Deer before earning his Class 1 license. He later returned to the oilfield, hauling nitrogen and bitumen across Alberta and into the Northwest Territories. These long stretches on the road suited him well, allowing him to indulge his love of travel, open highways, and discovering new places. Though Gordon did not marry or have children, he held a deep affection for his nieces and nephew: Gillian Gramlich, Garrett Gramlich, Allyssa Christie, Sara Cameron, and Stephanie Cameron. He was predeceased by his mother, Bertha Cameron (2012), and his half-brother, Douglas Cameron (2021). He is survived by his father, Graeme Cameron of Ponoka; his sisters, Catherine Cameron of Alix and Danielle Cameron of British Columbia; his half-brother, Samuel Bruno of British Columbia; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family. Gordon loved the outdoors and embraced adventure from a young age. Motorcycles and dirt biking were early passions, and road trips remained a constant joy throughout his life. He appreciated the simple pleasure of being outside, meeting new people, and exploring new corners of the country. He was a familiar face at Murph’s Pub in Red Deer and enjoyed the camaraderie of poker games at the casino. Generous to a fault, Gordon was always ready to help others and took great joy in giving gifts to family and friends. Gordon is remembered for his warmth, his stories from the road, and the many friendships he built over the years. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

The Lord is my light and my salvation;

I will fear no one.

The Lord protects me from all danger;

I will never be afraid.
