Kameron was born May 13, 1989 in Cape Coral, Florida. He attended Troy schools. He formerly worked for Tarco in Belton and Snyder's Auto Salvage in Holland. Kameron had a deep appreciation for all kinds of music, which started at a very young age. He loved to sing along, and if he did not know the words, he made them up. He still said "yes sir" and "no ma'am" to anyone older than him. He shied away from conflict and lived to make others happy. He had a beautiful smile, and his laughter was infectious. Kameron was very soft-hearted. On trips to the doctor's office, as a young boy, each and every time the nurse would give him a sucker or a prize, he would ask if he could have one for his little sisters. When he was older, Kameron had a certain doctor that had a trunk full of stickers and small toys for his younger patients, and even though he was probably embarrassed, because he felt he was too old to get a prize, Kameron would accept when they offered to let him pick something, and he would find something suitable for his youngest sister, Rebecca. Family was so important to Kameron. He loved family gatherings and attended all that he could, even as he got older. Kameron loved the snow. He was still like a kid at Christmas. We had a tradition where we always opened one gift on Christmas Eve, and the rest Christmas morning. No matter where Kameron was living at the time he would come and spend the night with us on Christmas Eve so we could keep the tradition going. Kameron wanted children. He was a devoted step-father, and would have been a fantastic father. He loved to eat cereal at any time of the day. Kameron had a special name for me. He called me "mama bear" and he was my "little bear". He loved animals, especially dogs, and he leaves behind Sandy, a miniature dachshund and faithful companion of 11 years. Although, like any child, he could be a royal pain from time to time, Kameron would never intentionally hurt anyone. Kameron loved with his whole hearthe was one of a kind. He is in the arms of an angel, and will remain forever in our hearts. True Happiness can only come from knowing God!
