Douglas “Doug” McCammon

Passed away peacefully on Friday, May 16, 2025, aged 86 years. Much loved husband of Ann, devoted father of Tracy, and respected father-in-law of Rod. Doug was the last surviving brother of Des, and Brian, and cherished son of Nellie and Andrew. A true gentleman, a kind soul, and a great guy. Doug’s life was filled with remarkable achievements – an enthusiastic pilot who proudly represented New Zealand, an accomplished television sports producer, a passionate contributor to sport as Vice President of the New Zealand Softball Umpire Association – but his proudest legacy was the love, respect, and admiration he earned simply by being a good man. He was a man of quiet strength, deep warmth, and unwavering integrity – a wonderful man who leaves the world gentler, kinder, and prouder for having known him.
