Campbell HUNTER Obituary

Cam, I still can't believe you're gone. You were here every night I came back from caring for Mum, you filled my laptop with random shows and sent me so many messages and cheer-up videos.
I miss our swims and sofa chats. I wish I'd told you how much you meant, but I hope you knew. You were here after every work or family trip, emptying my freezer and fridge, sleeping away days before I got home. It meant a lot that you were here waiting for me each time. I can't believe you're never coming through my door again saying hiya and reaching for a beer. Gem and I miss you.

You'll never know how valuable your support and advice was, especially in these last couple of months after losing my Mum. You could always see the bigger picture, and always encouraged me to see the best in any situation

Thank you for being there for me

I'm so thankful we were able to spend that last Friday together. You were the same as you always were, yet at the same time different. Somehow softer and more vulnerable and in tune with my feelings. So much was said, but there is still so much to say and to share with you

A big man with an even bigger personality. Always so generous, caring and protective. I always felt so safe when I was with you

I will miss you so very much, especially your reassuring cuddles

I wish I'd taken the time to tell you how much you meant to me

No one could challenge me, or read me the way you could

You'll always be the best, and beautiful in so many ways. I can't comprehend never being able to see you or talk to you again

The pic of our impromptu drinks at Cornwall Park a couple of years ago and our antics entertaining the cows in the paddock makes me laugh

I smile remembering when you'd always tell me to stop shouting when I was recounting a story. Me telling you I wasn't shouting, just being enthusiastic and passionate about what I was sharing with you

I'll always think of you when I hear these words -

Howzit!
Boo
Stink
Stand by
Waiting!!

I love you Big Boy, always ❤

My sincerest condolences to all of Cam’s family.

There will only ever be one Campbell Hunter! The man with a big heart to match his big blue eyes and even bigger smile. We will miss your charm and quick wit and but will continue to share the endless stories of Cam as we remember the funny guy who was everyone’s mate!

See you on the other side my friend, Big D xxx

Thank you for your friendship, Cam. For the time together, your support this last year, and for your kindness. You are a once-in-a-lifetime friend, and your hugs were every bit as awesome as you said.

What a legend, what a laugh, what a loss. You will be missed by many. X

Cam

38 years of friendship. Too many memories my big man to share here. I just wanted to thank you for being my mate, strength, comfort, adviser to a kid from the other side of the tracks. So helpful to Alexanna and I when we moved back to Auckland from the UK, we will never forget that, always aware of other people’s challenges and instrumental in getting them sorted. You MC’d our wedding, and lent us the Simpson’s bach when I asked. You made stuff happen. Reflection at the end of the day, green bottle and a durry to hand.

To his family - I am so sorry for your loss, we all feel it so keenly and to Charlie and Lachie our hearts go out to you. There will never be an end to the tall tales, laughs and adventures your father created around him.

Hoo roo Cam I'll never forget you my lovely man, too soon. Too soon.

You were one of a kind. Someone who filled the room with your presence. A pleasure to be around, an energy we all loved and treasured. You will be dearly missed Campbell. Rest in Peace until we meet again.

I met Campbell during my final year at high school. He stood out amongst the crowd instantly as his outrageous laugh and hilarity shone above his height! He will be sorely missed by many and my thoughts go out to you all, Yvette and the kids, my sincere condolences, Tori Smith

hey hey - that trip to Sydney with your folks :-) was a 4 day trip around town I will never forget.

My sincere condolences to Campbells family. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Fun times and memories with you Cam in S. Bush
May you R.I.E.P

My sincerest sympathies and thoughts are with the Hunter family, Yvette and the kids right now.
Cam is and will remain one of my dearest friends, a guy that was always there for you. Whether that be flying home for an emergency or painting the roof.
I was privileged to spend a lot of quality time with Cam, whether that be an incredibly fun year in Sydney, or renovating houses in Auckland. You just had to make sure there was always green bottles in the fridge. I am gutted that I cant be there in person.
You were the wittiest and most fun person I will ever know, there was always an adventure when you were around, and you will never be forgotten.
Love from Ben and family.

The many stories and memories that friends have shared over the last week is testament to how many of our lives Cam touched. It is hard to believe he has now passed away.
My sincerest condolences to Cams family, his children and those closest to him. RIP xx

So sorry for your loss. Campbell was one of a kind, with a larger than life character and his laughter was infectious. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Helen, David and family. I am so incredibly sorry to hear of Cams passing. Cam was larger than life and had a heart of gold. I have so many memories of us at Simpsons Beach, life in Auckland and then our time together in London. He will always hold a very special place in my heart. All my love Jane Martin (Guildford)

You have given us a lifetime of wonderful and hilarious memories, thank you for making that happen! Rest in love Cam xx Tash

Cam, our paths crossed too infrequently, but each time your infectious personality made me feel like wed been mates forever. So many good yarns have been shared about you over the last few days, that leaves me in no doubt, that the legacy of Campbell hunter will live on forever. RIP.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of Cam and was deeply saddened by this news. My thoughts are with you all.

Many fun times with Cam growing up in Remuera ... innocent but pushing boundaries always as teenagers .sorry to hear you left early love Georgie

It must be over 30 years since ski trips with that bandana but I remember laughing so hard we cried- I can't recall why, only that it was constant and because of his input. Cam was always someone I was happy to see. Sincere condolences to the family and travel well big fella. Stu L

Cam, I can't believe it. You were always larger than life, a gentleman, a friend, a ski buddy, a party guy, the kindest soul, someone who lived life and life loved you. What can I say? So many thoughts and feelings compete for a semblance of understanding. I know we naturally parted ways through life changes at around the point in this picture but I had always hoped we would all see each other again. I don't know what you were feeling but I wish I did. You've left a scar, albeit a beautiful one, behind. Rest well my friend and find the finest powder on the finest slopes and fly free.

Our dear friend Cam.We will miss that beautiful smiling face. Remembering you always with Fun and Love. Col & Pete
