Cameron “Cam” J. Walker, 21, (1995-2017) passed away on Saturday, September 2, 2017. He was born in Springfield to James V. and Jeanne M. (Hoffmann) Walker. Cam was a graduate of Westfield Vocational High School’s Auto Tech Program. After graduation he started working as an auto mechanic for Unique Auto in Chicopee for a short time and was working the last three years for Firestone in Westfield. He was a hard worker and received many qualifications and certifications in his field. Cam loved the outdoors from a very early age. He was a Boy Scout, loved skiing, skateboarding and bonfires with friends. Family was very important to Cameron, he loved family gatherings, had a smile that would light up a room and often showed his quick wit and dry sense of humor. Cam was an avid musician, playing the guitar, trumpet and was a natural drum player. He was very social and had a very close circle of loyal friends who will miss him dearly. Cam’s greatest aspiration was to serve his country, but for medical reasons he was unable to follow that dream. However, he held great respect for the men and women in the military and what they represented. Cameron leaves to cherish his memory, his loving parents, James and Jeanne Walker of Westfield, his sisters, Elizabeth C. Walker and Andrea M. Walker of Westfield, his grandparents, Robert and Elaine Hoffmann of Guttenberg, Iowa and Edith Walker and her late husband Joseph Walker of Westfield, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends.
