Brent MacDonald Cameron

New London, NH - Brent Cameron died unexpectedly last week at his home in New London, NH at the age of 57.

He was born on May 11th, 1966 in Concord, NH to Hugh and Judy Cameron.

Brent grew up in Concord and Bow and spent summers on Hastings Landing at Lake Sunapee. He attended Bow Memorial and Concord High School, graduating in 1984. He ran track and was on the ski team. He was very proud to have been taught by Christa McAuliffe, Concord's astronaut teacher. He also attended Keene State College studying Business.

Brent worked summers for Cricenti's Market in New London and began a career in store management with Edwards Supermarkets, where he traveled around New England opening new branch stores.

Brent was an avid skier, mainly at Ragged Mountain and Waterville Valley in his youth, and he later worked at Park City in Utah. He most enjoyed Hobie Cat sailing on lake Sunapee and his summers spent with the Hastings Landing crew were certainly his happiest times. He loved cool cars and tinkering around his house. Struggles with mental illness took their toll in recent years, but he fought to maintain his independence. Brent was a faithful friend and a kind soul who cared deeply about others. He was always first to lend a helping hand. Brent had a wonderful sense of humor, amazing recall for details, and so many stories to tell!

Brent is predeceased by his parents Hugh & Judy Cameron of Bow, New London and Pine Island, Fla. He leaves his sister Joan Cameron Gordon and her husband Andy, of Amherst , NH. His nephews and niece, Alexander Gordon of Bangor, ME, Jackson Gordon of Los Angeles, CA and Amanda Gordon of San Fransisco, CA.
