Cameron Monroe McDaniel

Cameron Monroe McDaniel, 50, of Lewisville passed peacefully on Friday, April 28, 2017. A devoted and loving husband and father, Cameron showed unwavering strength and honor in his military service, in leading his family well, and in his courageous battle with brain cancer for the past year and a half. Cameron was the son of the late Lenard McDaniel and Astrid Saylor. In addition to his mother, he is survived by the love of his life, Marie Sipe McDaniel, and his children, Jackson Tyler, Eli Chase, and Abigail Grace (of the home). He is also survived by his sister, Kimberly McDaniel, and his loving aunt, Cynthia ""Auntie"" Trivette. His extended family of nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends will also cherish his memory always. Cameron served his country in the Army in the infantry and as a helicopter pilot. He retired with 22 years of service, earning the rank of Retired Chief Warrant Officer Three (CW3) as a helicopter instructor pilot. Five of his years of service were spent in Germany, a time he often spoke of when recollecting his Army days. Cameron's strength of character served him well not only in the military but in his civilian career with Johnson and Johnson DuPuy Synthes Spine where he worked in sales and training as part of the surgical innovations team in spinal surgery instrumentation in medical centers throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. Although Cameron had successful careers in both the Army and civilian life, his heart and life passions revolved around church and the activities in which his children participated. Cameron served as a life group leader at Center Grove Baptist Church where he attended with his family, and he served as the SERT security team leader working behind-the-scenes to improve the safety and security of the church campus. Cameron impacted the lives of many young ball players in the Lewisville-Clemmons community coaching little league baseball and Upward basketball. He took great joy in watching Tyler, Eli, and Abigail play sports and spending time cheering them on in their endeavors. Cameron's family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Roy Strowd and the neuro-oncology team at Wake Forest Baptist Health and the Kate B Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem for their compassionate care of Cameron. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 2, 2017, at Center Grove Baptist Church, 8750 Lasater Road, Clemmons, NC with Dr. Steve Corts officiating. A private graveside will be held following the service. The family will receive friends from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the church. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home. (Hayworth-Miller Lewisville Chapel)
