In Loving Memory of Fred Camber, age 61, from Gravelbourg Sask. , previously  from Davidson Sask.,  who passed away peacefully on January 16, 2019 at St. Joseph’s Hospital/Foyer d’Youville in Gravelbourg, Sask.  

Fred was born on December 11th, 1957, in Davidson to Ted and Betty Camber.  Brother of Ed (deceased), and Arthur Camber families of Davidson.
Fred grew up on the family farm near Davidson, the youngest of three boys. He loved the farm, especially all the animals the family kept. Another of his favorite things was country and western music. He could often be found with headphones on listening away tapping his feet. Fred took his education in Davidson. He then went on to work at Interlake Human resources, which kept him busy with friends cutting lawns and doing odd clean up jobs around Davidson. Interlake later went on to become Sarcan, where Fred also spent time helping out in various tasks.

Fred then left Davidson for the next part of his life adventure. Captain Freddy, as he was known to many, moved with the Leclaire family from Davidson to Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan in 1994 and was in the care of Louis and Suzanne Leclaire and family for over 25 years, and was in the care of the Gravelbourg Group home and the Foyer staff for the past four years.

Fred was a living angel who brightened up every soul that met him with his charm towards all the ladies and superb dancing skills. He had an amazing mind keeping all his hockey players stats in order, favourite celebrities happenings, and he never forgot a birth date.  Fred spent most days with his pals at the local special needs program where he worked daily, working hard finding people to do his work for him, and loved hanging with the staff and his best friends. If he was not with his pals you could always find Freddy sitting with his headphones on listening to tunes, reading magazines, and making notes on his favorite country stars. After work every day faithfully he would make sure to go check on his adopted Grandma Elise Bourgeois. He would get her mail and help with errands, making sure not to miss the Blue Jays game and his first supper of the evening.

Fred was a passionate man for everything he loved.  On his wall hung many medals that he received with Special Olympics throughout the years that he was very proud of and always surrounded himself with photos of friends and family.

Fred will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  He is the sunshine that brightens the world. He touched every person who met him and he is an example to all. He loved unconditionally, and only knew kindness, compassion and love.  He will be greatly missed. A service for Fred will be held in Davidson Sask. at the Davidson United Church on Saturday May 4, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson in care of arrangements.
