David D Cameron, 82 of Rupert passed away peacefully at his home Tuesday surrounded by family. He was born in Pocatello, ID on December 8, 1936 to Dean I and Mildred Atkinson Cameron the oldest of five children.
David grew up in Pocatello playing on the surrounding hills, fishing & delivering groceries for the family owned grocery store. Of course he also enjoyed a little mischief. Dave attended schools in Pocatello until at the age of 17 when he joined the Navy serving 4 years during the Korean War. Upon his return home he met and married Julia Faye Rose. They were the proud parents of five children; Dean, Sandra, Connie, Chick and Jennifer. He and Julia later divorced.
Dave was a man of great integrity and concern. For over fifty years he went about making sure his clients were covered with insurance. He thoroughly loved his occupation of service to others making very good friends along the way. He held numerous high offices in professional and fraternal organizations, such as NALU, NIAFA and Kiwanis.
He fell in love with Janet Boyd and they were married December 23, 1998 She brought into this marriage her 5 children; Carla, Karen, Terry, Brian and Brett. Dave and Janet loved to camp, fish, and take road trips across the country. They often took a different road on the way back sometimes getting lost. They loved taking Church History Tours and cruises and made several through the years. They truly had a wonderful life together.
David was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served faithfully in many callings. In addition Dave and Janet were honored to serve a one year service mission in the Church's Burley Employment Center.
There was not a more sincerely friendly man. He would enter a room and light it up. Dave Loved to tease and give great big hugs.
