JAMES 'JIM' PHILLIP CAMERON

James “Jim” Phillip Cameron, 75, a successful long time business owner and resident of Anderson County, laid down his working tools in the early morning hours of Thursday, Sept. 15, 2022, with his wife of 31 years by his side at Parkwest Medical Center. Knoxville.

Jim was a doting husband, father, and Pawpa. He was of the Baptist faith and loved God and his family infinitely.

Jim leaves a long list of accomplishments but was most proud of his membership in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of Valley of Knoxville where he achieved the rank of 32nd Degree in 1997. Additionally he was honored to be a Shiner of the Kerbela Temple of Knoxville.

Jim was preceded in death by: Nother, Marie Smith and husband Ed; father, Jay Cameron; grandfather, Dan Allen; grandmother, Iona Allen; brother, Jamie Cameron; uncle, Bud Allen; and son-in-law, Kenneth Montgomery.
