So sorry to hear of this tragic loss. I hadn't seen Cameron in a long time. I had the pleasure of teaching him in Sunday school for a few years when he was in Jr high. I enjoyed having him in class. He was brilliant, sweet and quirky in a good way. Praying for all his family and friends to feel Gods love peace and comfort. Only God can heal such deep hurt.

I was searching for a friends Obit and came across Cameron's. It is obvious from his description Cameron was bright and free thinking. The very person we so desperately need in these times. And so often the very person who suffers from depression. My heart aches for the Zinn family and is pained by the lack of commitment our society places on protecting our young people from seeing suicide as the only resort to peace. His photo shows a delightful young man, his activities demonstrates one who loves a challenge. To his family, peace will be a long time coming, but it will slowly break through your sorrow and devastation. Thank you for your bravery in listing his cause of death. Suicide is an epidemic too few are aware of. It takes the most sensitive and caring of our children. I will donate to his cause. Thank you
