Michael Camerer

Posted in:

* Daily Herald

Bartlett village trustee and Republican nominee for an Illinois House of Representatives seat Michael E. Camerer is being remembered for his service to the community.

Camerer died unexpectedly Thursday at age 61 of natural causes. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Robin, sons Jonathan, Daniel and Matthew, his mother, Darielle, and brother Alan. […]

A chiropractor, Camerer opened Camerer Chiropractic in downtown Bartlett in 1990. Camerer also was an adjunct professor at Judson College in Elgin.

Camerer served in the Rotary Club and the Bartlett Chamber of Commerce. He volunteered with the Bartlett Veterans Memorial Foundation, Village Church of Bartlett and Boy Scouts of America Troop 227.

“He was one of the best people I’ve ever met in my life overall,” [Bartlett Village President Kevin Wallace] said. “It’s really a tough thing for the whole village.”

* Camerer won a three-way GOP primary (former Rep. Randy Ramey was one of the two who lost) for the right to take on Rep. Dianne Pappas (D-Itasca) in the fall. Here is Pappas’ statement…

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Michael Camerer and my heart aches for his family and loved ones. Whenever we crossed paths Michael always went out of his way to show me kindness - a genuine compassion that is often rare in politics. His love for his community, his family, and his patients was undeniable. There is no doubt that the Bartlett community is better because of the legacy he leaves behind. My husband and I are sending our deepest condolences and prayers to Michael’s wife, Robin, and their children.

  1. That’s the way its done. Or was before some point in time that I cant quite nail down exactly when the civility left.

    What an absolute tragedy. Condolences to his family.

  2. Mike was one of the good ones and he will be missed in Bartlett. Fortunately, there’s still a surprising amount of civility left in Bartlett and Mike helped foster this sentiment and condolences to his family.
