More importantly, Cam was an extraordinary friend, and it was my personal privilege to have worked alongside him for many decades. We will be forever grateful for our time with Cam and thankful for the talent he shared with us. He will be tremendously missed by everyone at Ryan Specialty."

"Cam built an extraordinary legacy and was one of Ryan Specialty's biggest supporters," added Tim Turner, Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Specialty. "He was a treasured voice, colleague and friend. Cam leaves behind his beloved family and many friends, and our thoughts and prayers are particularly with his wife, Amy, and his children, Alex and Mac. On behalf of the directors, management, and employees of Ryan Specialty, we extend our deepest condolences to Cam's family during this difficult time."
