A dad-of-two, who was halfway through building his family their dream farmhouse, has tragically died in a motorbike accident.

Emergency services were called to Murrayville-Nhill Road near Brushcutters Track just before 4.30pm on Friday following reports Mr Waters had collided with a car.

Mr Waters, from Kilsyth, died at the scene. 

Long-time friend Lisa Tisuno described the young father as the ‘calmest human who has ever walked the earth’ with a ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude’ in a GoFundMe page on Monday. 

‘Our hearts are broken at the tragic events that claimed the life of Cameron Waters,’ Ms Tisuno wrote. 

Ms Tisuno explained the fund, called ‘keeping Cam’s dream alive’, was set up to help finish building the family’s farmhouse and support his partner of 14 years Natalie Upjohn, his son Tommy, four, and two-year-old daughter Billie. 

‘Cam was in his happy place of riding his motorbike when tragically, he lost his life,’ Ms Tisuno wrote.  

‘Cam’s dream was for his kids to live in their farmhouse that is half complete. 

‘Some of the funds will be used to finish off his dream so the kids and Nat can make memories exactly where Cam wanted them to be made.

‘This GoFundMe is for anyone wanting to support to ease some financial strain, although not something that is expected.’

Remaining funds are set up to be used for Tommy and Billie’s schooling as Mr Waters and Ms Upjohn, who teaches at a nearby school, held their children’s education as a top priority. 

The fund has received 145 donations totalling $20,355 and hopes to raise $50,000. 

Mr Walters devastated parents, Bruce and Johanne, along with his brothers and their wives, have vowed to keep their son’s memory alive. 

An investigation into the exact cause of the accident is ongoing. 

Police confirmed the driver of the car was uninjured and has been identified as a 32-year-old man from Carina. 

Anyone with information or dashcam footage have been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online.
