So sorry to just hear of Cameron’s passing. One of my first childhood friends. Fond memories Love to Mr and Mrs McKay from Michele Holland and mum (Judy) x

Dear Cam, I'm so gutted to have only heard about your tragic accident recently.... And just now attending the celebration of your life online. I have precious memories of your open-hearted friendship; always so kind and genuine; you were one in a million. Rest in Peace and love dear brother; my thoughts are with all who were touched by your generous spirit, especially your dearly loved family

Cam, you certainly made every moment of your life count. Making so many people happy knowing you, your kindness. music, humour, and the ability to make them feel special. Alex and Jay and son and brother to be proud of. My sympathy to you all. Barbara Smart

Dear Camo, we wanted to share this photo with everyone because we think it’s a great photo of you, Mr Wong found it the other morning when you were both working with the big screen at the trentham racecourse, We are missing you so much it’s just breaking our hearts that we will never see you again, but again thank you for the great energy and memories love you lots from Nacho & Mr Wong xxxx

Camo, it has been an honour to have known, worked, played, laughed, and sometimes cryed with u. Everything we did from cranes/rigging, machinery shifts (with big ugly machines) up until monsta days, we always had fun, no matter how grim things got, u always had a joke for every occasion, and we always got the jobs done 150%. U were never put off by the ridiculous hours we had to do or moaned about when they had to be done, a true professional, with a work ethic, 2nd to none. U had a brilliant idea that we start up a big screen company, and we got a bit ahead of ourselves, we bought a stage truck before having any other equipment to put in it, then unforseen problems occured and we both got busy with other projects and life in general, and so the idea fell over, only a memory now. But i still have 120 reasons per week for another 10 years or so to never forget u and that idea. But at the same time it was awsome that u did end up in the big screen media, and that was your dream and passion for this that got me hooked in 10 years ago. Your love for your girls was immense, and we all knew how devoted to them u were. U had a huge impact on all who had the privilege to meet u, and we loved u dearly and u will always be in my mind and i hope we meet again in another life, and im sure if theres any kind of afterlife thing going on, Camo, u will find it, tweek it, personalise it and sell it to all of us when its our time to join u. Until we meet again brother, travel safe, but next time, bags u buy the truck.

What a beautiful send off for Cam . Such lovely times of you shared by your family.A comforting thought from the Bible Revelation 21v4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mouring nor outcry, nor pain be any more. John 5v28 The hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will year his voice and come out. Until we see you again Cam RIP

Dear Cam, I was so sad hearing your devastating news, I didn’t believe it at first - how could that huge big personality be gone for good. You changed nights out for myself and my friends back with Salvation .. what a place and the music .. we all loved going there. Thank you for your kindness lending me your Pajero so we could travel down to The Gathering to celebrate NYE 2000, so very very kind. You had this way of making everyone feel like they were VIP, something not many can do. Thank you for that, it really was such a special gift. See you on the other side my friend, gone but ever forgotten. Clairey

Safe travels Cam, thanks for your help, ideas,music, yarns, and good laughs over the years.You have certainly left a hole and touched so many in the community of creativity. On behalf of The MOST FM, arohanui to your whanau, will think of you often.

'Camaroon' Dear Soul brother, The Great Cam McKay You rode through life on your eternal high… Leaving us all in your skid-mark wake, With a feeling … ‘He’s going to die!!!’ Because We sensed you were here For the short, not the long… ‘Live Life on the Edge’ Was your forever ‘Swan Song’. Coz sometimes souls drum To a beat of their own Ride cymbal, Amen Break… That few others have known. But through life you allowed Us lucky folk that you met, Many moments in time We will never forget. For these moments we ‘Praise YOU’… In the words of your equal ‘Like we should’… We would tell you all this If only we could… Your hugs, heart and stories Will Remain in our blood. Your grin, grit and loyalty Forever we’ll treasure. Life’s legends, against You We will continue to measure. Farewell Dear Soul Brother, The Great Cam McKay… Our Brother in Arms We are SO lucky to have been blessed With your undeniable, unforgettable, Irreplaceable charm. Heaven and hell will fight over you Forever and ever, But neither will contain you… You taught us… You’re elusive… You’re far too clever. Keep riding Soul Brother, Our Great Cam Mackay. We’ll catch up one day… Our Salvation in the sky. Past the moon and the stars Who knows where on that day? But what we do know ‘For sure!’ …You’ll be leading the way. Your sister from another mister Mitch-Elle Howe. ♥️

Today I watched as all the people who’s lives you have touched said goodbye. I felt lucky enough to have been one of them. I have the fondest memories of you and your electric energy. Energy so strong that all others feel it in your presence as was truly shown today. My heartfelt love and condolences go out to your girls, family and friends. I know that there has now been a enormous hole left for them to manage. Rest easy beautiful man. Or party hard (I’m pretty sure the latter) You will always be remembered.

Cam you touched so many hearts.GR8 spotting your infectiours smile out side the school gate from time to time when picking up Cyrus.Also your vibrance back in the Mill Dayz. Wayde & Cyrus

Nga mihi aroha nui ki te whanau pani. Overwhelmingly sad to hear the news about Cam. Very sorry we couldn't be there but thinking of you all and sending all our aroha to the family from here in Doha. From starting primary school on the same day, ripping round the Hutt on pushbikes looking to meet girls, cruising into Welly with the crew, rockin out at Massey and then making the 'naki connection which you took to the next level; life was always a blast with you Cam. In the last few years our journeys went different ways but were still aligned as we created beautiful families! You embraced life, grabbed it by the horns and enjoyed the wild ride. I cherish the memories and times we had and will miss making more. You have always been and will always be my bro and above all else one of life's great human beings! Moe marie, tuakana! Rest peacefully brother! Arohanui, Ray, Raquel and whanau

If I had known when I saw you a few months back that it would be the last time, I would have given you one of those special, cool hugs you always gave. Thanks for helping me with the writing for the drum and bass/dance music at the Daily News. And thanks for showing mum around Salvation - she never forgot and thought you were wonderful. We won’t mention those cocktails though!! You were the bomb diggity cousin, and I loved getting to know one of my McKay whānau. It’s no surprise the sky rained so hard for you today. He tangi taku ngākau, cuz. Moe mai rā ko taku kaihana.

Kia ora koutou, Nga mihi arohanui ki te whanau pani. Heartfelt love to all of the family. My apologies for not being able to be there in person. It has been a long time since we started primary school on the same day, played softball and ripped around the Hutt on our bikes looking to meet girls, got up to mischief with the crew cruising around Welly, rocked out at Massey and then both developed a 'naki' connection which you took to the next level; life was always a blast with you Cam! You grabbed it by the horns, embraced it and enjoyed the wild ride! In the last few years our journeys took us to different places as we both created beautiful families or helped create them! Despite the distance and the gaps in catching up, it has always been 'sweet as' and you have always been my bro and will always be as well as being one of life's great human beings. I cherish the memories and times we've had and will miss not being able to make more. Ka korero pono koe, Moe marie tuakana! Keep speaking the truth, Rest peacefully brother! Arohanui, Ray, Raquel and whanau from Doha.

So sorry to hear of Cam's passing. To Kahlia, just always remember how much your Dad loved you. Whenever I saw Cam he would always have a chat, and he would always talk about you. Cam did so much for us as a school and his kindness and helping have been talked about a lot at school over the last few days. Sending all my love

Rest in peace Cam, we treasure our family childhood memories of you and Jay. You were always so much fun a bad influence and so good looking! Our thoughts are with Uncle Ackis and Aunty Marilyn and Jay x

Hey Cam - this is just too soon… and while we didn’t spend so much time together lately through geography and busy lives… I just can’t stop thinking about the cool times we had together - kids in bathers all summer at Oakura on the beach and hiding in the Ghost track - speeding around on 50cc motorbikes at Pitcairn street - horse poo fights in the macracarpa trees on the farm finishing up telling endless fatty and skinny jokes - your huge Christmas stockings/sleeping bags - sucking on sherbets and listening to “Sherbet” too. Super fun times I’ll never forget and what a super cool dude you turned into - always in awe of your businesses and the people you supported Chill out up there Cameron Jay - see you a bit later 😘😘

Thank you Cam, It was a pleasure. Bom

Dear Cam, so very sad to learn of your tragic death. It was 1977, Form 1, we shared our very first kiss together, something I have never forgotten. Young attraction and holding hands in the back row of the picture theatre watching Bugsy Malone 😎 scared shitless someone would see us. You will live on in our hearts forever and our memories are ours forever xx This is a photo I took of you with my very plastic camera, at El Rancho on a school camp in 1977. A photo I’ve treasured forever. Love you mate ♥️

Dear Camo, The hours/days/nights you were in our home enjoying stories and so many laughs, and with you doing most of the talking (haha)… you will truly be missed because you were family to us, and knowing you for over 20 Years, just a true honor to have enjoyed so many happy times. Until we meet again Camo, love you from Stefan (Mr Wong) & Susan (Nacho) xxx

Sad to read about the death of Cameron. I remember having some good times with he and Todrick when they were very small. Patricia Taylor xx

I had the privilege of working for nearly 3 months with Cam and was saddened to hear of his passing. He was a straight shooter, enjoyed a joke and spoke highly of his daughter and whanau. I would see him biking down the street and if he noticed me driving, he'd give a wave or if we crossed paths in the supermarket, he would always stop and say hello, keeping me updated on his journey. As a helping professional people can leave a mark and Cam, it was a pleasure to work with you. May you ride free and know, that the people you crossed paths with, will hold you in esteem. My sincere condolences to the family and wider whanau.

i'm going to miss you brother... thank you for everything

Much love to Cam's family. I will miss him popping in and saying "you alright girl" and his banter. He was such a kind man and he will be missed by so many. I hope you realise now that you made a difference in so many people's lives. It was an honour to know you. Rest in love Cam xx

You were my first love Cam. I will always remember our good times together. Our fun, adventurous, wild times. Thankyou🙏 Sending lots of love to your family. Hugs to you all. Rest In Peace Cam. We will never forget you. Yvonne (or as you used to call me, Bong) ❤️
