Cameron Bernard Cain

Cameron B. Cain left his earthly body on April 15, 2024, after a very swift and brutal battle with cancer. He was born on September 14, 1963, to Elizabeth and David R. Cain in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He was the first of 6 children.  

Cameron had an incredible love for nature and fishing fostered over many years of family camping trips to Southern Utah and the Uintah Mountains.  He had a great love of flying and enjoyed many hours working toward his pilot’s license.  Cameron was a natural salesman and had many successful years is auto sales and proved instrumental in several businesses.  He had a brilliant mind and was always inventing and creating and had several successful patents.   

He fell deeply in love and married Dawn in 1995.  The couple had no children together, but Cameron helped to raise her three children from a previous marriage and his step-grandchild, Rilee, who was most dear to him.  The couple divorced after 22 years but remained friends.  Cameron’s sense of adventure got him into more than one pickle, but he always came away with a good story.  One memory is when he decided to check his two youngest siblings (around 10 and 12) out of school and take them on an adventure out to Willard Bay in an old ‘57 Ford pickup with a big hole in the floorboard.  It had been raining and there were some massive mud puddles.  Always wanting to make it exciting, he decided to have a contest of ‘who could make the biggest splash’.  He helped us with the gear shift and again and again we splashed through the puddles with mud filling up the cab from the hole in the floorboards.  It was a very memorable day for all.
 

Cameron is survived by his loving mother, Liz; his brothers, Calvin (Valerie) and Corey (Rachel); sister, Charisse (Scott); his nephews: Alex, Phillip, Kona, Arlo, and Theo; and many more friends and family. He was preceded in death by his father, David; and brothers, Christopher and Curtis.  

Cameron, you will be remembered by so many for all the love you shared and quite a few crazy stories. Your strength and tenacity through many adversities got you through at least 9 lives and you kept smiling that infectious, mischievous smile, and even danced in your hospital bed right to the end.  You are a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed.
