Kitchener's James Cameron (Bareback Riders) Passes


It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Kitchener country star James Cameron, who was also a member of Hamilton's Bareback Riders. He passed away on January 26, 2020. Our condolences to his family, friends and fans.

Here is his obituary.
Cameron, James Scott: 
Passed away, suddenly, on Sunday, January 26, 2020 at his home at the age of 26. Beloved son of Ken and Chris. Cherished brother to Britanie Hagen (Simon) and Jennifer Cameron (fiance Martin Mosiadz). Dear uncle to Layla and Zofia. Loving grandson to Jim and Muriel Cameron and Klaus Basler. He will be dearly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his grandmothers, Irma and Barb.
A private family service will be held at the Henry Walser Funeral Home Chapel, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467. All are invited to a musical celebration of James' life on Saturday, February 1, 2020 from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the Schwaben Club, 1668 King St. E., Kitchener.
As expressions of sympathy, in honour of James' niece, Zofia, donations to KidsAbility would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).

James' father Ken posted a touching statement on his Facebook page.
Go rest high on that mountain. It is with unimaginable grief that Chris, Britanie, Jennifer and I must share the news of the passing of our son James. He loved to entertain, dreamed of a huge career, but he could not conquer his personal demons. He was loved by so many but felt so alone. I love you son. We were so proud of you. He will be missed by so many especially his little buddies Layla and Zofia
His band had the following to say on their Facebook page:
We (The Bareback Riders) are very sad to have to share this message but need to. James was a dear friend and band mate since he was 18. I simply can not find any words that can describe the loss we are all feeling.
