Cam and I met when he was working at Vallivue high school in the special Ed classroom. We became fast friends and immediately bonded a bond that was still going strong 10yrs later. He was easily one of my best friends. No matter how much time had passed since we last spoke we picked right back up like nothing.  I will forever cherish the late night conversations him and I had the last few years. I had no idea Cam had passed and iam heartbroken. He died on my boys birthday. He loved my boys so much. I love you Cam and I will miss you forever. I'm so sorry I didn't know you had left us, please watch over us! I love you so much!! 

I met Cam when I was 6 years old. He was good friends with my dad. I was just learning how to play guitar when he came into my life. His bright smile and cheery attitude immediately brightened my days. I remember going fishing with Cam in the summertime. At the end of the night, we would build a huge campfire and play guitar and sing. He was my biggest fan and always pushed me to keep doing the things I love. I was never the biggest fan of playing in front of people, but when Cam was there, it all felt okay. I still remember the awe I felt when I first heard Cam play “Yellow Ledbetter” on guitar. He was so incredibly talented and always knew how to wow his crowd. Not to mention, that guy knew how to fish. Every time I was in the boat with Cam, he would not only catch a ton of fish, but he would also put everyone else in the boat on fish. I remember how when I was in the horns, he would tell me exactly what to do and give me little critiques on my technique or placement until I caught a fish. Being the youngest person on my dad’s fishing trips was never my favorite thing, but when Cam was there, everything felt okay. I would also like to mention that Cam taught me how to throw a football, a skill that helped me make friends at my new school and continues to impress people. The way he taught me will stay with me until the end of my days. “Bow and arrow, angel wings, launch.” There will forever be a little place in my heart for Cam and his beautiful soul. I love you, Cam.

I will always be your little Rocky Faye.

Dear Beth, Ron, and girls, 
Our hearts break for you. We loved Cameron and enjoyed so many wonderful times together with your family during those busy,  sports filled days of high school.  Cameron's smile could light up the room and he was always so polite to us whenever we were around him. We've missed those times and thought of you all with fond memories over the years since then. Now, learning of Cameron's passing has broke our hearts and at the same time brought back again the memories and smiles we all shared together. We pray that the Lord will surround you with His love and bring to you, on a daily basis, the many good memories of your sweet boy and brother that you cherish. That they will bring smiles to your faces and fill the hole left by his absence with peace and a promise that you will be together again.  

Wanted to let you know how very sorry we are for your loss of Cameron.  When in high school and later in Idaho, he was always a pleasure when in our home with Jeremy.  Our prayers and thoughts are sincerely with you all.

Ken and Julie Smith
