CAMERON JACK ORLOFF

We are devastated to announce the loss of our dear Cameron Jack Orloff (Tuesday, February 17th, 2026). Left to cherish his memory are his family & friends, teammates, coaches, teachers, neighbours, and community.

Cameron was born at the St. Boniface hospital at 6:18 pm on June 18th, 2006. He grew up in River Heights, started at On the Move, then JB Mitchell, River Heights, and finally Kelvin school. Through these years he accumulated countless friends and teammates. Cameron played on a variety of community soccer, basketball, volleyball, football and hockey teams. He was known for his determination and fearless effort.

In the summers spent at Victoria Beach he loved swimming, riding his bike, and participating in the organized activities. He was proud to eventually end up working as a tennis attendant and enjoyed leading children’s games at the courts.

Cameron had a way with kids. He always had the time and energy for rambunctious but caring play. He got a kick out running around leading the fun and laughter. There are a lot of younger brothers, sisters, cousins, and neighborhood kids that looked up to Cameron.

In the past year, he was proud to be apprenticing as an elevator technician. He was excited about new tools and the perks that came with working for a top Winnipeg company. He spoke highly of his workmates and was looking forward to progressing in this field.

Cameron cast a wide net and made deep connections. His infectious smile and warm charm transcended age and touched many. His friendships were generational. Our beautiful boy lit up the room and was the life of the party. He was an organizer and a connector. Sometimes affectionately known as “the captain”, he often came up with adventurous plans for his circles of friends. His friends describe him as loyal, genuine, and optimistic.

He will be dearly missed by many. We are so very lucky to have had him in our lives. We were fortunate to make so many beautiful memories together and will cherish them forever.

We would like to thank the many teachers and coaches that gave their time to Cameron and the community. Thank you for making our world a better place. We would also like to thank STARS and the staff at HSC ICU for their gentle and thoughtful support during our most difficult time.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Caboto Centre on Tuesday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, hug your loved ones, play hard, crush good times, and cherish every moment.

To keep his memory alive, we have created a sports scholarship to give support to children who may not have otherwise had the opportunity. Support for this fund is appreciated as is time spent volunteering to give children the same opportunities that were so meaningful to our Cameron.

We are so grateful for the love and support that has been shown to our family. From a meal train that filled up in 45 minutes, to care packages dropped off at our front door, to a steady stream of flowers and messages of sympathy. Thank you to the overwhelming generosity of those who have donated to the Memorial Sports Fund – especially those younger kids who donated $11 and you know it was their own money they wanted to give. Every gesture of kindness and care has been appreciated more than you could ever know.
