CAMERON DOUGLAS "CAM" STUART

February 24, 2024

Cameron Douglas “Cam” Stuart of Kincardine, died peacefully, Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024, at Huron Shores Hospice in his 76th year, surrounded by loved ones. Survived by his wife, Barbara (nee Pepper), and by his eldest son, Craig, and daughter-in-law, Gemma of Calgary, Alberta; daughter, Vicky, and son-in-law, Riley McGee, and their children, Matheson, Jack, and Rosalie, of Sherwood Park, Alberta; and step-son, Michael Wood, and daughter-in-law, Nicole, and their children, Claire, Remy, and Maggie, of Kitchener. Predeceased by his son, Michael (2009). He was also outlived by his “beloved” 1939 Chevy ‘55 Ford Truck and other orphan projects in various states of repair. Cam began his working career as a landscape architect for National Parks followed by private practice. Most notably, he contributed to the creation of the campgrounds in Banff, Yoho, Jasper, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. In 1979, he joined the family business, Bonnie Stuart Shoes and held various leadership positions; ultimately, serving as president, a role he held for more than 10 years. He ran the business with the utmost integrity until market conditions changed, forcing him to close the business, the last and oldest children’s shoe manufacturing company in Canada. Cam had a great love for building hot rods (and had lots of scars to prove it). He also enjoyed golfing, playing bridge, CFL football, and watching the Saturday Night Pipe Band Parades in downtown Kincardine. He enjoyed time with friends and family, telling stories that seemed to get better with age and pontificating about political ideas. Cam was a unique person who will be missed. In his own words, “Period. End of conversation.” The family of Cam Stuart will receive friends at the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home, 757 Princes Street, Kincardine, Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024, from 12:15-1:45 p.m. The funeral will follow at 2 p.m. in the chapel. Memorial donations to the Canadian Red Cross or Huron Shore Hospice, would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
