Overview
On November 20, 2018, John Duncan Cameron passed away at age 53. Gone too soon, John’s family remembers him as being creative, an entrepreneur, and a hard worker who loved to be on the water and enjoyed sailing. With assistance from the Catholic Foundation of Michigan, John’s family created and endowed the John Cameron Scholarship Fund to provide need-based tuition assistance to a graduating senior of Gabriel Richard Catholic High School to honor his legacy and fulfill his wish to help students like himself. John was specifically concerned there were not scholarships for 'the overlooked kid with untapped potential' and believed that social skills, self-sacrifice, hard work, and perseverance were just as important as academic achievement.
