Born on January 18, 1972, in Flint, Michigan, to the late Thomas Anthony Cameron and Beverly Jane Heffner, Chad was a man whose warmth and industrious spirit left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
A proud graduate of Durand High School, Chad furthered his education at Michigan State University, where he studied Agri-Science, a field that reflected his lifelong passion for agriculture and the outdoors. His work in the automotive industry, making plastic parts, was a testament to his dedication and hard work. However, it was on the farm that Chad truly felt at home. He loved working the land, planting a large garden, and doing field work, which brought him immense joy and satisfaction.
Chad's love for the outdoors extended to deer hunting, a pastime he approached with the same patience and respect he applied to all his endeavors. Friends and family often found him outside, enjoying the simple pleasures of nature, or sharing his latest harvest from the garden. His love for cooking was another of Chad's many talents, and he took great delight in preparing meals for everyone, showcasing his friendly and handy nature.
He is survived by his loving daughter, Fawn Cameron and her husband Austin Wood. Chad's legacy also lives on through his brother, Brent Cameron and his wife Holly, and his sister, Angie Patsey and her husband Larry. His nieces and nephews, Jordan Patsey and his wife Jordin, Cassy, Lindsay, Darrin, Madalyn, Jessica, Alex, Eric, Isabel, and Corinn, will miss his guidance and the joy he brought to their lives. His great-nieces, Asher, Aubrey, Vera, Violet, and Catherine, as well as his great-nephew, Mac, will grow up hearing stories of great-uncle Chad's kindness, and hold memories of times spent at the "Country House". Also left to cherish his memory are many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Chad's extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and his many great lifelong friends will remember him as a man who lived his life with a sense of purpose and a deep commitment to those he loved. His presence will be profoundly missed, but the impact he made on the lives of so many will not be forgotten.
Predeceased by his parents, Tom and Beverly, and his brother, Darrin, Chad leaves behind a legacy of love, friendship, and a life well-lived. His friendly demeanor and ability to fix anything made him a go-to person in times of need. Whether sharing a cold Busch Lite with friends or enjoying the tranquility of a quiet morning on the farm, Chad lived his life with a genuine appreciation for the simple things.
As we say goodbye to Chad, we celebrate a life that exemplified the virtues of hard work, kindness, and the importance of community.
His story is one of a man who built a life filled with love, laughter, and the fruits of his labor, shared generously with all. Chad's memory will continue to inspire and guide us, just as the sunrise over the fields of the farm he so dearly loved.
