Remembrances:
“To provide for his mother and siblings and nephews, he was involved in training dogs, teaching and being promoted and climbing the military ladder. Kameron served several tours in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf. He was always willing to help others, especially his mom. No one knew that the inner demon had gotten the most of Kameron toward the end of the tours that he had done. Kameron had lots friends worldwide. He was very proud to be an uncle, younger brother and older brother. He wanted to marry his high school, sweetheart. Most of all he was very happy to serve his country.” Shared by his mother, Lisa.
“… It means a lot to see how many of you were touched by Kameron’s existence. No matter the circumstance in which you met him, you were sure to leave with a lasting memory and friend. I know that he constantly tried to keep in contact and maintain all of his friendships despite distance or however long it had been since you last spoke. As a brother and best friend, I can tell you he loved all his family and friends so much and in no way wanted to hurt anyone like this. I’m sorry for your loss just as you are for mine. Getting through this will not be easy for any of us. All we can do is remember all our great times with him. After that, get up and kick each day’s butt with the knowledge that is what Kameron would want. He will always be my brother, best friend, motivation, and reason for living every day. I love and miss you more than anyone dare claim to.” Love, Khris and Sydney.
