Cameron Michael Bagley, 20, of Columbia, entered into God's eternal rest on Friday, Sept. 2, 2016.
Visitation was held on Tuesday, Sept. 6, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Columbia. A funeral mass will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 11 a.m., at the church. A private burial will take place at St. Clement Cemetery near Bowling Green.
Cameron was born on June 19, 1996, in Portland, Ore., to Tammy (Meyer) Bagley. Cameron attended Columbia Catholic School, West Junior High and was a 2015 graduate of Father Tolton High School. He was currently attending Moberly Area Community College.
Cameron's love of the sun, water and people led him to work as a lifeguard at West Broadway Swim Club for the past three years and he served as a head life guard this summer.
He was also currently employed at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in addition to working at Hy-Vee and Texas Roadhouse while in high school.
Cameron at a young age became involved in a variety of sports including swimming, baseball, cross country, and track and field.
However, his true love and passion was for the game of basketball. He started in Pee Wee Hoops and went on to play in local leagues such as Upward and Columbia Youth Basketball Association (CYBA) as well as playing on competitive teams.
He played on the varsity team all three years while at Tolton High School. It was through basketball that Cameron developed a tremendous bond with a group of young men who were not only his closest friends but were like brothers to him and a true blessing in his life.
From the moment Cameron was born, he had a laugh that was infectious and a smile that was unforgettable. He had a great sense for adventure and the ability to always make people laugh and he enjoyed doing so.
He could brighten a room the minute he walked in and his compassion for others and the ability to make them feel special was a gift. He touched so many lives in his short time here on earth that it is hard to imagine that shining light now being gone.
His spirit was gentle and his heart was so good and so kind. Cameron was a friend to many people and was the light and love of his mother's life as well as his entire family.
There are no words to express how much he will be missed but comfort lies in knowing he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and is at peace in heaven in the arms of God the heavenly father.
In addition to his beloved mother, Tammy, he is survived by his grandparents, (Papa and Mamoo), Arthur and Delores Meyer, of Bowling Green; his uncles, aunts and cousins including, Jeff and Laura Meyer, of Bowling Green, and their children Kelsey and Brian Meyer, Daniel (Stacie) Finke, David (Kim) Finke, Julie (Clint) Bowen; Stephen and Teri (Meyer) Weise, of Columbia, and their children, Bret and Catelyn; Scott and Ellen Meyer, of Bowling Green, and their children, Emily and Evan; Curt and Christine Meyer of Troy, and their children, Clayton and Carley; Bruce and Stephanie Meyer, of Bowling Green, and their children, Halie and Kara; as well as many very special and deeply loved great aunts and uncles and extended family members.
