It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David W. Cameron on October 30, 2024, at the age of 87. David was born on December 11,1936 in Miami, Florida, to George and Senja (Nevala) Cameron.

(Baughman) Cameron, in 1955 at Morehead State University in KY. David and Mary lived in Gettysburg, OH from 1958-2001. Their retirement years were spent living north of Ansonia, OH on the Baughman family farm. He is known for his love of photography and always trying to capture the best shot. He also enjoyed carpentry work and was known for his many remodeling projects. David loved his family and he was a great father. He had a great sense of humor and was always very gracious to everyone he met. David spent the last six years of his life at Brookdale Senior Living Facility in Englewood, OH so he could be near his daughter, Heather. He had a great appreciation for all of the people who cared for him at Brookdale.
