Nathan Ambrose Cameron

Nathan Ambrose Cameron resided in Longview, WA and transitioned from this life to the next on June 17, 2026, at the age of 52. He was born April 12, 1974, in Vancouver, WA.

Nathan won a drafting competition while attending West Albany High School. With that win came an internship in that field, and a realization that he had found his passion in engineering. To further his education while working in his field, he took many engineering courses for professional and personal development over the years.

Nathan's passion for engineering went far beyond work, it was his hobby too. He hand designed many things over the years in his shop including his own home security system and his own garage elevator! He was a bit of a "mad scientist" not only in the shop but also in the kitchen. He learned from his Grandmother Hallam her kitchen secrets while caring for her in her last years.

Nathan was a family man with a big heart and dedicated much of his time to taking care of others, sacrificing much of himself out of love. He was a large man with a booming voice and could command a room even in silence, intimidating to most, but to his loved ones, he was a fierce protector. This larger-than-life presence carried over into his hobbies. He had a custom designed motorcycle built for himself that was his pride and joy, winning him numerous top trophies at shows. He commissioned a tattoo artist to do intricate artwork on his bike, helmet, and his riding leathers. The scenes were of a graveyard and skeletons. When his youngest niece, Skylar, saw him in full gear ride in for the first time, she enthusiastically nicknamed him "Uncle Ghost Rider".

At his core, Nathan had a sense of humor and loved to push the envelope and shock people out of their dull routines. Never one to conform, he encouraged others to be themselves as well. He joined the Pastafarian religion as a reverend so he could do weddings; his religious vestment was a metal colander that he wore as a "hat". He had his driver's license photo taken with his religious headdress on, with the utmost pride and much laughter. While we will miss that laugh and his unforgettable humor, we hold tight to the joy and love he brought us.

Nathan was reunited with his mother, Terrill Banks, and grandparents, Juanita and Jim House, and Keith and Ruth Hallam. His memory will be carried on in the hearts of his family: siblings, Justin (wife Amy) Banks and Tina (husband Jamie) Breaux, nieces Skylar Pines and Titiana Banks, aunt Rebecca, uncles Larry and Eddie, and many beloved cousins and their descendants.

In honor of my Big Brother, from Little Sister.

The family of Nathan would like to thank the staff at Greenfield Care Facility and Hancock Regional Hospital for their love and kindness while caring for Nathan, and for the support they extended to his family.
