On this day November 18th, 2010,  Mr. Camo Man passed away at 8:40am (PST) around the age of 3 months.  He is survived by his wife Mrs. Gingerbread Man, his long time friends Mr. and Mrs. Devil Ball, Mr. Flappy, Mr. Landmine, and Ms. Stereo.  Mr. Camo Man was an avid believer in the gift of giving and his last wish was to have others benefit from this unfortunate event.  Mr. Camo man wanted his body to be donated to science and his heart (squeaker) available to Barney if he ever gets a chance to visit.  This was the kind of squeaker Mr. Camo Man was, a playful, yet honorable toy.  We hope to grant his second wish someday.

Mr. Camo Man’s funeral service was held later in the day. The sky was cloudy, but he had a beautiful setting with green grass and flowering plants.  It was an open casket service.

Some words were said, tears were shed, and all agreed that he would surely be missed.  Mrs. Gingerbread Man told everyone the story of his life, how he came here fresh from the store about 3 months ago and fell in love soon after.  She never thought she would meet someone like him or someone with such a giving heart.  Soon after, Mrs. Gingerbread Man broke into unending sobs and had to be dragged away from the casket.  Here are a few things that his fellow toys had to say:

Mr. Flappy: “I was his best man at the wedding between he and Mrs. Gingerbread Man.  But in reality, he was the best man in my book.”

Mr. Devil Ball (blue): “He saved my life the other day when the beast started to prefer me to the other toys. Mr. Camo Man stepped in and forced the beast to play with him, so that I could recover from the incessant attack.  Yes, he was a great man indeed. He was loved by all.”

Even though Mrs. Gingerbread Man is a grieving woman she would like it to be known how his death came to be.  She is quite afraid of this bizarre partly shaven, 3 legged beast with a missing tooth and flair for squeaking a toy to death and would like to warn others of this terrible creature.  Mrs. Gingerbread Man allowed these videos to be released for informational purposes only.  Disclaimer: If you have a weak stomach, please refrain from watching the videos and viewing the photo from the scene of the crime.  For they capture the actions that led to his untimely death. Unfortunately, this is not the first death by the beast. Click here for a previous blog post about the life and death of her other squeakers.

The beginning of the end.

His final moments.

The scene of the crime. His heart was saved by the immediate actions of the paramedics to preserve this life saving organ.

May you rest in peace Mr. Camo Man, you will surely be missed.
