Cameron was a loving son, brother, and best friend to all who knew him. He will continue to stay with us all through memories and the laughs he forced us all to endure whether we were in the mood for it or not. Cameron loved so many and was loved by so many more. He had an energy that with even just one encounter, you would remember him for life. He brought so much love and joy into our lives. Heaven has received such a special angel, now prepare a place for us as we prepared a place for you. When we meet again we will run to you with open arms, feel both of your arms around us, and we'll never let you go!

A memorial service and celebration of Cameron's life will be held 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, 2020 at Coble Chapel at Greenlawn, 1155 Shipyard Blvd., Wilmington.
