OBITUARY
Funeral of Cameron Joseph Deveaux, August 29th,1999


Cameron was born on May 22,1983 at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas. He became known to his family as "Sweet Joy" because of his affectionate personality. It was this same fun-loving personality that caused him to be well-known and loved by many in Sea Breeze Estates where he spent most of his life.

Cameron began his elementary education at Temple Christian Schools and then transferred to Kingsway Academy to complete his elementary education. While at Kingsway Academy, his enthusiasm for athletics was born as he won several sports awards for his performance on the track. This love and natural talent for athletics was later fostered in the future as an athlete showed great promise as he also trained with "The Wanderers Track and Field Club" in Canada.

In addition to the standards of excellence Cameron set in track and field, he was also highly commended by his teachers for his leadership abilities as a "Peer Counsellor." Cameron was well known by many persons at both St. Mary's University and Dalhousie University in Halifax. His outgoing and vivacious personality earned him the respect of these university students, and he was therefore considered an honorary member of their Caribbean Societies.

This past summer as a student employee, Cameron enjoyed working at the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, where he won the affection of his co-workers.

On August 19,1999 Cameron said farewell to this world to embrace his heavenly Father.
