Cameron Alexander McDonald passed away peacefully at the age of 73 in Edmonton, Alberta on January 22, 2026.
Cameron will be remembered by his wife, Gloria; his daughter Elaine (Jason, and grandchildren Amelia and Andrew) Chance; his son Darren (Charity) McDonald; his daughter Angela (Kevin) Oliver; and his son Shawn McDonald. Cameron was part of a large family including his parents John and Nell McDonald (deceased); siblings Bruce; Bonnie (Jim); Norman (deceased) (Margaret); Rod (Lorraine); Lorna (deceased) (Urban); Murray (Helen); his very close twin brother Colin (Judi, deceased); and many nieces and nephews.
As a teacher, his love of educating and thirst for knowledge drove him to pursue several degrees and numerous life achievements, including two terms as a University of Alberta Senator. He was a life-long member of the Knights of Columbus and held the position of Grand Knight for several years.
Cameron had a love of reading, gardening, and a deep appreciation for science fiction. A devoted fan of Star Trek, he found joy in exploring new worlds and ideas through books and stories, a passion that stayed with him throughout his life.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alberta and NWT Alzheimer Society at alzheimer.ca/ab/en
