Urupa declines Cameron's headstone  / Sharon Duncan (mum)

How disappointing that permission to unveil a fitting tribute to a very special young man has not been granted.  It seems the design is too large to be acceptable in an area of the cemetery reserved only for Maori, where the height restriction is ludicrous.  

It was my intention this year to lay this headstone on Cameron's grave (his 21st year) on the anniversary of his passing, which is 12 November. Instead, this year will be marked, with a gathering at his graveside at 2pm Sunday November 11th.

In Memory of a brave & courageous young man.  / Ian Welch
Although i never met Cameron in person, the quality of the films that he made and the courage and strength that he showed in battling against his illness were an inspiration to us all.   He will be fondly remembered as an extraordinary young man & a sorely missed talent.

Rest In Peace Cameron.

Your an inspirational Guy  / Chris O'Riley (A fan )
Hey Cam
I'm an aspiring film maker, and mate, you've inspired me even more. The effort you clearly have put in and the results show how much of a remarkable person you were.  In every film i make, i will remember you in that you never got to continue such a potential carrer, and that i will make them in memory of you. 
Thanks again for being such an inspirational person, and my regards to Sharon your mother who clearly supported you in everything you did.

Cam's 21st was awesome  / Sharon Duncan (MUM)
As Cameron's 21st approached I couldn't work out how he could be with us to make the occasion less depressing,
so I made a life-size cut-out of him, which went down an absolute treat.
I had the cake, I had the key and now I had Cameron too! I let Rhys and Chanel enjoy my special surprise first, the evening before so they could enjoy having Cameron back, so life-like, it was amazing. Chanel hugged him and wouldn't let him go, she'd got her brother back, it was a beautiful sight. Rhys was less reactive but I know he was definitely surprised, maybe a little jealous that he hadn't thought of it himself, but hey, who cares, it was fabulous as you can see by the pix. We sat Cam at the front of the house to greet everyone as they arrived, their startled faces were priceless. We played a everyone-in softball game in heels or barefeet, ate hors d'hoeuvres until dinnertime, let off huge party poppers for the group shot, fireworks and danced, then sliced all the photos of our handsome young man, recreated on his cake, and shared him round. Chanel, Wez & Ash displayed their bartending expertise and everyone had a fabulous time. Close

Sharon,


 I think about Cameron often, the movie he made for is very special. Rhys sent me a copy on DVD and it had some other shorts on it and I love it.
