It is with great sadness to report that Cameron Kiefer, 28, died on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 from an apparent suicide. Cameron was an accomplished numismatist who had won the 2001 CSNA Literary Award and the ANA Outstanding Young Numismatist of the Year in 2002. Subsequently he became a grader at the Independent Coin Grading Company when it was located in Colorado Springs. Cameron resigned from ICG in March 2008 to become a full-time coin dealer.I briefly became acquainted with Cameron after I posted the story about his departure from ICG. After a few email exchanges where he seemed excitedly nervous, I wished him luck and said that I hope we can do business in the future. Running a business did not come easy for Cameron which may have lead to his unfortunate decision.
Cameron Kiefer was married and left behind two children, reported to be three and one years old. My sincere condolences go out to his family and wish for better times ahead.
UPDATE: Obituary and funeral information may be found at the Horan & McConaty Funeral Home.

Cameron was a really nice, kind, sweet young man. God Bless his family at this most awful time. Rest in Peace, Cameron.
Cameron was a great friend, someone you could really talk to, he will be greatly missed, this really hurts-my condolances to family.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Cameron on several occasions at the Long Beach Show and talking with him on line for quite a few years. He was a very knowledgeable numismatist and wonderful person to know. It's sad to hear of his passing and he will truly be missed. My heart felt condolences go out to his family.
RIP, Cam.
What I would like to know is why he did this?
