Cameron Johannes Gill

passed away at the age of thirty-two.

Cameron was born on March 23, 1988, in Niskayuna, NY to Tariq Gill and Johanna Gill Von

Plank. He attended Saint Gregory School, Albany Academy for boys, Christian Brothers

Academy, Cushing Academy and the United States Marine Corps Officer Candidates School.

He then went on to earn his MBA in International Business from Lynn University in Boca Raton

FL in 2014. Later that same year he joined the Career and Alumni Connections team. He was a

trusted mentor to the students and tutored at the Institute for Achievement and Learning

where he touched the lives of countless students and faculty. On May 10, 2018, he married

Bruna Gomes and together they raised their fur babies Gunner and Nina.

Cameron had a passion for the outdoors. He was an avid rambler, camper, fisherman,

snowboarder, skydiver, equestrian and overall athlete. He was a thrill seeker with a lust for all

things adrenaline provoking. He was a world traveler who’s second home was in Bavaria

Germany. He had an incredible love for animals both wild and domesticated. He rescued three

cats from the Everglades and welcomed them into the safety of his home and family. He loved

Ford trucks and anything patriotic. He was what his wife, Bruna fondly referred to as, a

“refined redneck”. His sixteen hour smoked pork was a favorite amongst friends and his

grilling skills were unmatched. He was known for his stoic but kind nature. He had a signature

smirk that often grew to an infectious smile. He was a kind and compassionate man who

appreciated the qualities that made people individuals. There was nothing he wouldn’t try at

least once as he had a natural curiosity of all things. He lived his best life with his friends and

family by his side.

Cameron is survived by his wife Bruna and their fur babies Nina and Mako, his father Tariq Gill,

his mother Johanna Gill Von Plank, his stepfather Joseph Canino, his sister, Kristina Hill

(Daniel), Mother in law, Nasilda Araujo, father in law, Assis Araujo, his brother in law, Diogo
