Cameron Leslie Bowton
6/29/1976-07/23/2026
Cameron Leslie Bowton, 50, of Fort Wayne, IN, died on July 23, 2026.
He was born in Fort Wayne in 1976 to Gregory and Carol Bowton, and was on the go from the moment he entered the world. He loved his daughter, fun, adventure, playing soccer and watching Notre Dame football. He attended Northrop High School before getting his degree from IPFW/IU Bloomington. He sought out jobs that kept him on the go and outside, and most enjoyed his decade spent with Fed Ex, driving around Fort Wayne and chatting with his regulars.
Cameron carried a profound and painful-to-witness disease. Alcoholism is a relentless adversary that he fought against for decades, often choosing to do so on his own. Those who knew him best remember that his addiction did not solely define him. Loyal to a fault to his close friends, he was full of silly faces, ridiculous voices, non-sense words, and a smooth-talking confidence. He was a life-long, die-hard Notre Dame fan and enjoyed attending games with his dad, brother and friends. His family is devastated to say goodbye so soon, and they find comfort knowing he is no longer battling and can rest freely.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Kenneth and Mary Jane Bowton and Earl and Elnora Bryan, and is survived by his daughter Avery Bowton, parents Greg and Carol Bowton, brother Nicholas Bowton (Britt), and sister Megan Quiring (Ty), as well as nephew, Cole and niece, Ellery.
A Celebration of Life will be held on August 12, 2026 at the David Hefner Pavilion in Fort Wayne. Timing and details to follow. If you have asked how to help, the family welcomes support toward final expenses in lieu of flowers.

When we were at their home for dinner or swim, you could tell how proud he was of his baby girl and that he could provide a beautiful life.
