Obituary of Cameron Norberg

Cameron Norberg of Mazenod, SK passed away on March 1, 2015, at the age of 60 years. Cameron was born on July 21, 1954, at Mossbank, SK. He was the only child of Russell and Kaye (nee Milne) Norberg. Cameron attended grades one through nine at the Mazenod School. In the fall of 1969 Cameron began his high school education at Mossbank School and graduated in 1972. Cameron was a member of the Mossbank football team and in the winter months enjoyed snowmobiling with his dad. After graduation Cameron began to take on more responsibility on the family farm. He enjoyed farm life with his parents until 1983, when they semi-retired and moved to Moose Jaw. Cameron continued to farm with help from his parents when they could, and on occasion cousins would come to help with harvest. Cameron was involved with many farming and community organizations. He served as chairperson of the Mazenod Coop, was co-treasurer and bookkeeper for Mazenod Cemetery, was a member of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, supported and participated in numerous Mazenod Hall functions, and could quite often be found dressed up as Santa Claus at community Christmas functions. When Cameron had spare time from his farming and volunteering responsibilities he enjoyed riding his dirt bike, trap shooting, collecting and shooting new and antique guns, attending Roughrider games, and collecting model and full size Chevy trucks. Life changed drastically on January 9, 1996, when Cameron’s mom passed away and again when his dad passed away on June 22, 2002. Cameron continued to farm, but his passion for farming faded over the next five years and in 2008 he made the decision to sell the farm. Cameron then decided to invest in a greenhouse south of Moose Jaw and worked there for a couple of years. For the next two summers he worked at a nearby farm. Cameron vacationed in Mexico for a couple of winters, and met many people that he became good friends with. He also went on a cruise, and travelled to South America. He especially enjoyed trips to Cuba. Cameron was a very caring person and was always willing to help those in need. He spent a lot of time the past four years in Spanish, Ontario, helping to care for a long time friend who was ill. Cameron always tried to make the best of his life; he never complained and always appreciated those who cared for him. Cameron will be dearly missed. Family Graveside Service was held on Saturday, June 6, 2015, at 11:00 a.m., at the Mazenod Cemetery, followed by a time of lunch and fellowship at the Mazenod Hall. The eulogy was shared by Marv Weiss. Urn bearer was Danielle Lamontagne. Memorial donations in memory of Cameron to the Mazenod Community Hall and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation were greatly appreciated.
