Maggie and family
As a Cargill customer I remember Brian when he worked at the Melbourne branch back in the 90's. He took a keen interest in what we were doing at our dairy farm and brought his Dad with him one day to visit our farm. I remember his extreme enthusiasm for ag. Very sorry to hear of his passing; life is not always fair. Please accept my condolence even though we have never met.

Maggie,
We were on vacation and just got the news. We have been reminiscing about our times together as couples and then as families. You and Brian dreamed and lived your dreams, and we were in awe of how you two supported and strived to fulfill one another. Brian was a very good man - his big bright smile and twinkle in his eyes (especially when looking at you) is an image of him that comes to mind. You are good and giving people, and dear friends who certainly didn't deserve this kind of tragedy and pain. You and the kids are in our hearts and thoughts.
Love,
Christiane, Wayne, Colin, Thomas and Julia Devlin

Brian, my brother, was a collector, gatherer, hunter, protector, seeker, and keeper...of all wild animals.
Brian had a habit of bringing home (or attempting to bring home) unique pets.
Turtles, Ferrets, garter snakes, Canadian Geese, injured deer, raccoons, owl, sand crane, baracuda, baby skunk...and Maggie drew the line at the skunk.
Some of you may remember my pet raccoon Arthur. Brian found it in the south lane. He brought it into kitchen..."Hey Jill...look what I found"
His eyes beaming with pride at his latest catch. Brian showed me how to tame it, and Arthur became part of our family for a while.
Another time, over on the island, he caught an owl. Not a tiny little barn owl...we're talking large great horned owl.
He was always fascinated by animal behaviour....saying..."isn't it neat!"
He quickly found a new home for the owl in a bird sanctuary.
Maggie recalls another occasion, where Brian was chased by a sand crane. The parents had flown away and the juvenile was just standing in the field. Brian hopped off his tractor and approached the crane. He took out his phone and started filming. Then...the crane turned on him and chased him across the field.
The video is a real must see.
Then there was the Canadian Goose that Brian caught on their front porch. He carried it into the house proudly under his arm.
He thrilled his kids, but Maggie was thinking "what has he brought in now"!
This summer Brain, Maggie and Kate came to visit my family in Bermuda. Again...Brian was seeking out the tree frogs and lizards in my backyard.
One day while snorkelling, Maggie and Brian came across a baracuda! Maggie quickly turned around and made a bee-line to the beach.
But what did my brother do???? He chased the baracuda through the water...trying to get a good picture.
My brother also had amazing "fly-catching" ability, which I think he inheritted from Grandma Van Camp. (I've got it too!).
He'd catch them, and pretend to eat them, just to freak out my kids. He was always such a tease. When I was little, Brian would catch a fly, then he'd pull out one
of my hairs (which was not pleasant to begin with), tied it around the fly...and then showed off his fly to everyone, zooming around on its leash.
My best Brian animal story....but also the most traumatic for me at the time...was one Halloween night. Brian was delegated to drive me around
trick-or-treating. But of course he took me to all his *friend's* houses....Lynn McLaughlin's...Ralph Dejong's....Jay & Debbie's.....
After a few houses, driving down the country road...a raccoon darted across in front of the car and ran up the lone tree. Brian stopped the car,
jumped out, and yelled to me to stand under the tree and keep the coon up the tree...while he drove to Dejong's to get a gun. So picture this...
me, about 9 yrs old, ...in my clown outfit...standing on the side of the road...in the dark....clapping my hands to keep the coon up the tree...while my brother drove
away....I was so mad at Brian. But in the end, Brian was mad too...because the Dejong's would not give him a gun.
Right now, Mom and Brian are probably talking about various other animal stories and eating sweet potatoes with marshmellows on top.
“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven
where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

Thinking of you.
For those of us born in 1966 and called Blackstock home, you likely came to know a warm kid with a bright smile. For me a cousin, a friend, a school chum and like a ‘twin’ as we were born less than a month apart. Growing up with Brian was everything from ‘A to Z’. I’ll start with the letter ‘A’...
Admired and adored by many. Athletic. High School “Alicat” and an Aggie.
Band Member. I believe his tuba was bigger than he was in Public School and not sure where the family let him practice. He moved on to the saxophone. We marched miles in Mr Ferguson’s band too.
CHS Curling Club. Grade 9 we joined the big leagues at the Blackstock Arena with our melted in hacks, big and small rocks and learned the art of negative ice to perfect our curling skills.
Dancer. Many may not know the hours we spent in Ralph Dejong’s living room – Brian and I, Ralph and Lynn McLaughlin/McPhail. The jive and the jitterbug! We created teams of two, routines and competitions that Ralph’s beloved Mother would sit and judge. Brian was an amazing dancer!
Euchre Club and a wonderful partner everyone wanted. Euchre must be in the Van Camp DNA.
Friend. A Farmer. 4H Clubs and competitions. Jr Farmer summer games & a couple weeks ago remembered our horseshoe lessons at Uncle Harold’s.
Glee Club where Mr Ashton would whip us into shape each year. Brian and I always sang in the Alto section.
Hugs... So happy! H- many would use Handsome here. For me High School memories – so many wonderful times. Brian graduated the year behind us as he had spent Gr13 in Sweden. This past May we walked through the CHS halls at the Closing to give it one last spin.
Initiation Day ... the picture in the 1980-1 CHS year book is worth a thousand words. 26 of us are pictured in that Grade 9 class.
Jokes. Brian was always looking for fun with a great story to share , trying to brighten our day. Like his opening joke this year at the Church Auction.
Kindergarten was in the little brick school house. That’s where the special bond with our class was formed that has carried us through thick and thin.
Laughed lots! ... his laugh made you laugh.
Mover and a shaker. Ahead of his time. He called Keith and Wilma’s one day and asked to speak with Jay. He said “Jay, I’m calling from my truck!” Jay didn’t believe him “No way!”. He told Jay to look out the window and there he was in his truck and laughing. Brian had the first cell phone we had ever seen and he placed the first cell phone call we ever received!
Nice. A good Neighbour. The city slicker Van Camp kids would often use Richard’s lane to travel up to our country cousins. It often meant a pit stop along the way to pause and play with whoever we could find.
One Act Plays. Brian was a gift to the stage with a stadium voice.
Played hard – baseball or red rover. Public School was great times at Cartwright and can recall our Grade 8 Grad. ‘B Van Camp’ always one step ahead of ‘D Van Camp’.
Quite a talent - an entertaining Auctioneer and can see him singing “Sold” at karaoke night at the Port Perry Curling Club.
R? There were several R words suggested, (Rascal) but I’ll go with Real. Brian was real down to earth. A really great guy who never changed his tune – the same over all these years.
Smile! That big, bright smile with plenty of school and community spirit! Involved, supporter and a doer with energy to burn.
My ‘Twin’. Our Grade 6 school teacher believed we were twins until two different sets of parents showed up for the parent teacher interview night. In Gr 12 Miss Kimball was amazed with having 3 sets of twins out of 20 students... Van Camps, Hoogeveens and Greens – we set her straight. Brian was not my twin, but like a brother to me.
United Church. Sunday School - he was the lamb in the front row of the Christmas pageants, Youth Group outings and the classes with Rev Davis to join the church Brian and his family supported in so many ways.
Van Camp cousins regardless of 2nd 3rd or 4th removed – always family first. Annual picnics at Cartwright Park (Caesarea) with baseball games and food - glorious food!
Worked so hard to follow his dreams,
Xtra special,
Youthful attitude and
Zest for life.
Brian was everything from ‘A to Z’ and a gift to me I will treasure always. Someday we will meet again. He will greet me like he always did... his smile will make me smile, his laugh will make me laugh, his embrace will warm my heart and he will say “Hi Cuz, how are you doing?”.
Love always.
Debbie
“Brian’s Motto: Laugh lots, share big smiles and love vibrantly. Work hard, play every chance you get and family is everything.”

Eulogy for Brian lit a candle
Saturday, December 21, 2013

Born in Blackstock in 1966 Brian Roy George was the fourth child of Richard and Ruby Van Camp. He always liked to joke that his should have started with a “L” just like Louise, Lois and Lawrence – he thought he'd like to have been named Leroy Seven years later to complete this big rollicking family, Jill was born. Brian remembered peaking under a blanket to see his new little sister.
Like the rest of the family, Brian attended elementary and high school in Blackstock. For Brian, one of the greatest parts about moving back home later in life was reconnecting with the classmates, teachers and friends from his childhood – most were relations too!
During a semester of high school he went on a student exchange to Quebec but instead of learning to speak french, he learned how to ski like a profession. His hosts gave him a ski pass instead of taking his to tourist traps that spawned a love for skiing.
Brian's childhood was filled with playing games, music, trips to the east and west coast and of course, farm work, all centred around his family. Working with his Dad these last 14 years, Brian was continually amazed by Richard's drive and determination – something he inherited. From a distance you could hardly tell the difference between them. He'd tell anyone who asked about Richard “My Dad's the hardest working person on the farm.”
When he should have been going into grade 13, Brian was chosen to go on a rotary exchange to Sweden. That year changed him fundamentally. It broadened his world and culture. Of course, he fit right in there instantly. He did that easily in any situation, anywhere he went. Everyone instantly liked him. Later, when he and Maggie moved to new places, right away he'd go and meet all the neighbours.
Next Brian was off to the University of Guelph to become the ultimate “Aggie”. He jumped in with both feet voted in as the class president (OAC '90) in his first year. He was on the executive for organizing the College Royal, the college executive and he was somehow in the middle of most Aggie social events of which were many. He played many intramural sports, even hockey which he had never played before. In his final year he was on the board of governors for the entire university. On graduating, Brian was awarded the gold medal award, the top overall student, for both grades and activities.
Brian and Maggie fell in love in the summer of 1989. Brian was working for OMAF, running Regional 4-H camps and Maggie happened to be taking courses in the summer term and lived in 427 Scotsdale with a bunch of Brian's friends. The chemistry between was instant and lasted the rest of their lives together. Brian gave Maggie simply no choice but to fall in love with him.
They danced all night at Aggie pubs. Brian was a great dancer, loving to jive, taught first by sisters and then his best high school friends.
His first job out of university was with Cargill. First he worked for that company in Mt. Brydges, Ontario where he lived in his first single apartment and traded a bag of corn for a couch and chair. Then Chatham, where he lived with a group of single Cargill guys in a farmhouse. Then he was moved to a trading position in London where he lived in a crazy townhouse full of friends. This is when he asked Maggie to marry him. He had to do it differently so in a squash court he handed her the ball and the ring and said “It's your serve.”
They were married the next summer of 1992 on Maggie's family's farm. That same week, they also bought their first home together in St.Thomas, Ontario . Typical Brian, the guy jam pack more into one day then most people do in a week. Everyday day was full of love -hugs, kisses, cuddles.
With that same incredible energy he and Maggie moved five more times, fixing up houses as they went, working at night or on the weekends. On their first big move they drove to Lethbridge in Brian's little red Sundance he called Turbie. In Alberta, Brian worked at the ATL elevator, fly fished, skied, golfed, camped in the mountains and foothills.
But the most important thing they did in Alberta was start their family with the birth of Nathaniel William in 1995. Brian was over the moon and took heaps of pictures of this beautiful baby boy. Just home from the hospital, Brian drove Maggie, and Nate and Grammie to Glacier National Park. He was so proud we took a picture of him lifting his baby up in the air like the Lion King.
Next it was off to Saskatchewan where Brian bought canola for Cargill's new crushing plant. They bought a home in Thode, half an hour south of Saskatoon, on a lake across from a bump on the Prairies, turned ski hill. Brian tried ice fishing and spear fishing on this lake and of course, they fixed up their home. However, the best thing that came out of their time in Saskatchewan was Matthew who was born on a cold day in January 1997.
When a head hunter approached Brian with a job offer from executive merchant for CN Rail he jumped on the opportunity to move to Winnipeg. In 1997 they bundled up their boys and moved to Elm Street, which of course, Brian and Maggie renovated. He trained and ran in half marathon. During the last year of the three they lived Winnipeg he switched jobs to work for CPR.
Although they had a good life, met new interesting people, fell in love with the Prairies and Rockies, learned interesting things at each new job, Brian always, always wanted to farm. In every province they looked at farms to buy. He even got a group together to put their names in for a chicken quota lottery in Manitoba.
In 2000 Brian finally had his dream fulfilled: they bought a broiler farm on the Island Road, in Port Perry to start farming. A month later, their daughter Kate was born and her Daddy was instantly charmed and his LaLa could do no harm.
When they bought the Island farm, they added a clause for the previous owner to act as a consultant for a year. Brian always said it was the best part of the deal as Jake and Trish Haak became such good friends. He trusted and loved Jake so much.
Brian Van Camp could do anything with his hands – taught the basics during teenage summer jobs building for Gerald Kelly and the Kytes. He always had his multi-tool on his belt and if anyone needed something fixed – from jewellery to plumbing to electronics to large equipment, he loved to solve the problem.
“He loved his toys,” said Nate. The snowmobiles, ATV and the farm equipment he got to use and improve. He was so excited when he got his new 16-row corn planter.
He also worked on the family dairy farm managing the cropping portion of their business and bringing new technology and efficiencies. He was one of the first people in the area to use a corn planter to “min till” soybeans. He jumped on GPS and autosteer, added a dump wagon, made a remote control for the straw chopper, brokered land deals and got us all linked by cellphones and so much more. He wanted to make Vanlea Holsteins better for his family, but he had so many more dreams. Robotic milkers, biodigesters, just to name a few.
In 2006 Brian and Maggie bought their dream farm on Edgerton Road in Blackstock and the next year built a new barn in which to move their chicken operation. Brian loved this project from start to finish, creating a custom-designed barn. Everything from the water, the alarm systems, the ventilation, the electrical system Brian figured out a better way to make it work. He was so proud of this barn.
But Brian's life on this new farm wasn't all work, he loved to play and made it a kid recreation paradise – beach volleyball court, horseshoe pits, a trampoline, swimming pool, basketball courts, all created and maintained by Brian. He played with his kids at every opportunity. After working 16 hours, he kick off his boots and play beach volleyball with the kids or jump in the pool or hop on the sleds.
His kids were his ultimate joy – He loved them more than anything else. He was so proud that Nate wanted to become an electrician as he loved doing that type of work so much. Brian and Matthew have always had a very close relationship as they both loved to build projects together and got along so easily jut the two of them. And Kate, well she was always his special little Katie. He loved to measure their height as they've grown and in recent years he'd stand on his tip toes as the boys got taller than him.
He and Maggie took the kids in their camper to both the east and west coast. They also took their family went to Disneyland and to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica with their close friends, the Grove family. As a couple they went to Sweden, Mexico and NYC.
Over the years, Brian helped coach at Blackstock Hockey and soccer and sponsored the “Chicken Nuggets”. He loved to curl and a couple of years ago skipped the team with the fancy shirts that made it to regionals playdowns. He was President of the Blackstock Fair, is on the board of stewards at the Blackstock United Church, helped with 4-H, auctioned for Bruce Kellet and many charity auctions. Whatever he did, he made it fun.
Brian’s Motto: Laugh lots, share big smiles and love vibrantly. Work hard, play every chance you get and family is everything. We owe it to him, the happiest person in the world, with a smile as big as the sky to be happy every day. he wouldn't want it any other way.

To the Van Camp and Sager families I send my heartfelt prayers and thoughts to you at this most difficult time.
One of the benefits you receive as a local councillor is that you meet many of the quality people who drive the quality of life we value here in our Township. Brian was one of those people. It was as a deputation to council regarding his vision of bringing innovative biogas technology to his farm in Blackstock that I met him. He immediately caught my attention with his intelligence and compassionate nature.
It has been my experience validated by the wisdom literature that love is stronger than death: and time and process heals all wounds.
Peace and every good to all who were graced by his presence during his journey.

I am one of Dorothy"s Bruce Trail hiking gang who met Brian only once in Tobermory. He, Maggie & the children had come to celebrate with Dorothy the completion of a hike that took us the length of the trail. I got the impression that Brian was a truly happy, lively and loving person. It was with very deep sadness that I received the news of his untimely death.

I don't have to tell you what an amazing guy Brian was. Such a wonderful friend to us and I will never forget how supportive both Brian and you Maggie were to me over the past few years. Brian was always caring, always offering assistance, and always ready to party. Many days I would be out walking down your road and almost every time, Brian would drive by going from one farm to another. Most times he would stop and chat for a bit or at the least, honk the horn followed by a big wave and even bigger smile!! I will remember all the great times we had together as a group.... back yard bbq's, pool parties, volleyball games, New Years Eve parties.
Nate, Matthew and Kate, your Dad loved you guys to the moon and back. He was so proud of you and all your accomplishments. He will live on in you kids and I just know you will continue to make him proud.
Brian we will miss you like crazy!
Love Joey, Katelyn and Jordan

Spaz
Brian and a whole bunch of us grew up together from kindergarten all the way up to (in my case anyway) university. He always loved to laugh and make others laugh, and had the teasing "gift" known only to younger brothers. He loved to tease me about my clumsiness and coined the nickname SPAZ, when we were at Cartwright High School. He even wrote it in pen on my then-prized Kodiak boots! When I saw Brian last spring at my parent's auction sale, I reminded him of writing on my boots. He had no recollection, which just goes to show the impact he had on others without even realizing it. To say we are shocked and heart broken is a gross understatement. Thoughts and prayers are with the entire Van Camp clan.

Drifting Apart
The story of Brian and I is a fairly common one for people who meet at university. We were great friends and saw a lot of each other for those 4 years, sharing lots of laughs and adventures. Then you graduate and move on to your own personal lives. You try really hard to keep in touch those first few years after graduation. My first golf experience was with Brian at Countryview Golf Course north of Chatham. He was working for Cargill in Chatham at the time and I was home visiting my family. (I was living in Toronto at the time.) Then it takes something like this to make you realize that you just didn't try hard enough to keep in touch. My deepest condolences to Maggie and the rest of the Van Camp family.

Meeting/remembering Brian
We met Brian when he helped to bring hay bales to our barn. We knew Jan and Lawrence because I worked with sister--in-law Jan. and...I live in Blackstock. Brian was (and will continue to be ) a presence. You saw him at an auction or I the fields, working hard, and always with a winning smile. Once, during harvest we went out into the field and there was Brian, cussing and frustrated - the baler was just not doing it's job! He was definitely annoyed. He had not noticed us above the noise of the tractor. Be when he did, he shut down the tractor as a gentleman would - and he apologized for his cussing. I remember his bright smile and his engaging spirit. Brian - I think you will be missed by anyone who ever knew you! Certainly you will be missed by the Dymond family in Blackstock!

I am one of Brian's cousins. I remember going to their home farm when we all much younger, playing Barbie's with Jill, or all of us together on an adventure,we alwlays had a great time. My favorite memory of Brian was on one trip to Aunt Margaret's with Dana Lynn, and Brian. We went up to the hayloft. Brian thought we would really like up there, as we all enjoyed going to the barn. Only that is the day I discovered my fear of heights. I was terrified to go down when it was time to leave. I wasn't leaving that hayloft, the ground was way too far away! After much gentle coaxing, and Brian's beautiful, trusting smile, and Dana's patience, I was back on the ground safe and sound! I am now a farm girl as well, and I often laugh when I think of that day as I am climbing the ladder to and from our much, much smaller hay loft! You will always be lovingly remembered Brian.

Head of the Class OAC 90
It’s hard to believe the class of OAC 90 last said goodbye some 23 years ago – at least some of us did. I hadn’t seen any of former class mates until Brian and Maggie brought us back together for a 20th reunion at their family farm. Everyone I reconnected with was exactly as I had remembered them; Brian in particular. Even after 20 years, Brian was clearly still the head of the class. He was a genuine and thoughtful man with a magical smile and contagious laugh. Maggie, words can’t express how sorry I am to hear of your tragic loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

The 4H kids
The year 1966 saw the birth of many fine babies in Cartwright one of them was Brian VanCamp. We have watched with great interest and pride the development of these people from kindergarten to 47 year old adults. Tragically 3 of these people have been taken from us. Brian always such a happy positive person it is very hard to say goodbye. He has had an interesting career: Rotary exchange student, graduate of O.A.C. and (like many of us married an Guelph girl, Maggie) Cargill, CN rail, CP rail, and now farmer. Brian and Maggie have been able to do what many young people can only dream of - raise a good family ( Nate, Matt, and Kate) and be part of a successful farming operation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the VanCamp family especially father Richard and Maggie and their children.

Blackstock hockey
I met Brian through our Friday night pickup games at the Blackstock arena. One night, Brian and I took the opening face off together. As the puck was being dropped, he cross-checked me in the chest and knocked me flat on the ice. I looked up in bewilderment and there was Brian with that big smile and hearty laugh. He said, 'I always wanted to do that'. We both laughed and joked about that for the rest of the season. My thoughts and prayers are with the Van Camp family.
