"Cam" Cutler

James Cameron "Cam" Cutler, 80, passed away at his home in Auburn, WA on February 20th, 2013 after a long battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Cam was born on the 8th of December, 1932 in Olympia, WA to Garland Wayne and Nevada Mae Cutler. He was a graduate of Cleveland High School and Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA and has been a tax and retirement planning professional for the last 48 years. He was a founding member of the Sequim Elks Lodge #2642 and actively involved in his local community as Treasurer of the ADA, serving on the Auburn Chamber board for 10 years. Cam was a Navy veteran serving during the Korean War and a life member with our local VFW Post 1741. He also served as a judge for the Miss Auburn Pageant and was on the Board of the White River Museum until he was forced to resign due to illness.

Cam enjoyed many hobbies in his lifetime including fishing, hunting, scuba diving, and most importantly his love of horses during which time he, and his main ride "Whiskey" were active members of Washington Backcountry Horsemen giving countless volunteer hours to our State's parks and wilderness areas.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Candace "Candy" Cutler, his brother Garland "Gary" Cutler (Shirley); his children Lisa Brenton (Jon), Jace Cutler (Theresa), Kindra Churchwell (Brian) and his step children Christopher Johnson (Keri) and Carleen Bohannon (Terry). He leaves a strong legacy of 12 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and growing, along with a host of dear friends.

Cam was larger than life and enjoyed it to the fullest. He leaves a hole in our hearts that no one can ever fill.

A celebration of Cam's life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations can be sent to the American Lung Association.

Dear Cutler Family,

I went to Cleveland High School with Cameron and Darlene. All the beautiful tributes I've read, are just as I remember him. Cameron was handsome, smart, talented and polished. I knew he would accomplish much in his lifetime. The years have been good to him - he looks the same!

Darlene and I were neighbors, school mates, from kindergarten on.

- Last I spoke to "Cam", was during a Seattle visit in 2000. He told me of his lovely wife, Candy, and of visits with Cleveland friends, Leland, Ross,and wives. He sounded very happy. I know you will miss him.

Sincerely,

Lisa Cutler-Brenton

On February 28th, my dad, Cam, became a great grandfather for the 4th time. His namesake, Jack Cameron was born 1 week after dad passed. I know he would have loved to see Jack but we have a pretty good idea that "Bapa" made sure Jack was delivered safely into this world. We miss you so much dad.

As Marcella (Cole) Riedinger's daughter, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a little time with Cam every holiday season. Cam had an amazing ability to engage people and make them feel special. He showed a great fondness for my Mother. He also never forgot to share something thoughtful and special about my Father every time we met. He is a piece of the fabric of my childhood. My heart goes to his family. He will be missed.
