Livonia: At age 40, Cameron passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 14, 2023 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. He was born on March 7, 1983 in Rochester, NY to his surviving parents Gregory A. and Joyce W. Miller. Cameron is also survived his brothers, Zachary Miller and Colin Miller. He is predeceased by his grandparents, Harold and Catherine Miller and Orenza and Mary Waddell, along with his brother, Kyle Miller.
Shortly after his birth he was flown down to New York City and became a patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where he received a mixed match bone marrow transplant, one of the first of its kind. After spending several months in complete reverse isolation, he was able to go out into the world and live a normal life. With the undying love of his mother who was the donor of the transplant, as well as with a host of medical and community personnel, Cameron grew into a fully engaged individual.
During his teenage years he became proficient in the then popular card game, Magic The Gathering. Through many games and tournaments, he reached the top ten junior players in the world. He went on to win a scholarship to the University of San Diego. Cameron moved to San Diego in 2001 and graduated with a BS in Business in 2005. For several years he tried his hand at marketing and real estate. After several setbacks he eventually became immersed in the field of day trading.
Cameron led a very solitary life by choice as well as design. And even though his life was filled with challenges from A to Z and beyond, he attained many of the goals he set for himself. He believed in maximizing one’s potential for himself and for others. Cameron will be greatly missed.
A Memorial Service will take place at 10AM on Saturday, December 23, 2023 at Livonia Community Church, 41 Spring Street, Livonia, NY 14487. Interment will be held privately at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY. Memorial Contributions may be made to the: Immune Deficiency Foundation, P.O. Box 735108 | Chicago, IL 60673-5108.

Sincerest sympathies to the Miller family. I am so sorry to hear this. Cameron was always such a kind, gentle soul with an infectious smile! I fondly remember attending Annie’s Ark with him, as well as our years in junior high and high school. He had such a positive impact on everyone around him.
To Cameron’s mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Miller and brothers Colin and Zach: I am so very sorry to know that Cameron passed away. I remember Cameron being quite quiet in the classroom but was always so polite. I think I had Cameron in health class when he was in 8th or 10th grade. My heartfelt thoughts are with you at this hard time.
