Allan Marshall Cameron Jr.

Allan Marshall Cameron Jr., age 87, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026.

Allan is survived by his devoted wife, Sandra, his son, Allan III (Julie); his grandchildren, Allan IV, Mackenzie (Matthew) Young, and his cherished great-grandchildren, Emerson and Everett. He is also survived by his nieces, Catherine (Glenn) Call and Wendy (Ken) Kowynia. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Donna Call, and his son Phillip.

Allan graduated from Lake Forest Academy; and then earned his business degree from the Denver University, where he served as President of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity.

After graduation, Allan worked for R.R. Donnelley & Sons in Chicago before opening his own printing business, Art Tape & Label. Through hard work, determination, and integrity, he grew the company over decades, ultimately selling it in 2016.

Allan was a longtime member of the Chicago Yacht Club and the Scottish St. Andrew Society. An avid sailor, fisherman, golfer, diver and hunter, his love of sailing began during summers spent on Walloon Lake. He competed in and won many sailing races and traveled the world pursuing his passions for sailing, hunting, golfing, diving and fishing.

Despite his travels, Allan’s heart was always drawn to Indian Gardens, the game preserve founded by his grandfather, William Cameron, in 1926. Allan took over the preserve from his father in 1981 and found his greatest joy there, especially in the duck blind. In May, he could often be found on a tractor planting fields in preparation for hunting season. Allan always treasured Saturday dinners with friends & loved ones, where he always said a prayer before the meal and never missed an opportunity to raise a toast to the love of his life, Sandra.

Above all else, Allan was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and family man. He was a steadfast and loyal friend who cared deeply for others and quietly went out of his way to help whenever he could, never seeking recognition or anything in return.

Private family services will be held in May in Petoskey, Michigan.
