Cameron Grant, the developer of FreeBSD newpcm driver, has untimely died on 20th March, 2005. May him rest in peace.

To quote FreeBSD Core Team, on behalf of the FreeBSD Project:

It is with great sorrow that Core notes the untimely death of Cameron Grant. We wish, on behalf of the whole project, peace and strength to his family in these sad days. Cameron will be remembered by the FreeBSD community as much for his uncomplaining attitude as for his contributions to the project itself.
We will miss Cameron’s indomitable spirit and his willingness to give everything in his power to a community where he found an outlet for his creativity.

Cameron’s work for the project will be a monument to his fortitude, and it is with this memory in mind that we shall dedicate the upcoming
5.4 release to him.

Cameron was born on 8th July, 1976.
