Cam,
You will forever be etched in my memory as that adorable little boy who toddled downtown Idaho Falls with me while we shopped for your sneakers. You were so proud of those shoes as you strutted around showing them off, even though your mother probably wanted to string me up for buying white. Living so far away,I'm sorry I didn't have the opportunity to know you as an adult. I know by reading this website, you are much loved by family and friends. I hope you'll count me as both....

We met online on a local BBS before the internet was even available. We played Atari games, and grew to be good friends. We were on the Board of the Utah Blue Chips (Utah computer society) which was great fun. You were the first person I have ever known who has passed away, which has forced me to explore some new emotions. You will be missed, your long conversations, and tall tales. Perhaps now you can have that family of your own. BAMF will live long in my memory.

Uncle Cam,
Thank you for giving me such great childhood memorys, I will always remember jummping on the tramp in the back yard, Playing games on your computer (by the way thanks for all the computer, and geography help.) I enjoyed all the movie previews you took me to go see and all of the comic books you gave to me. You truly are the best Uncle in the world. I am sorry that we did not get to spend as much time together in the later years, looking back now somtimes I wish I could...

I will miss you Cam!!! You were I very sweet person!!

Dear Cam -

I seriously thought you could outlast everything. You went through a lot in your life, but didn't seem to let it affect your sense of humor. I still have the art book you gave to me when I was...7? 8?...a long time ago. Even after I realized that I'd never be an artist like you were, our conversations were always memorable.

Rest well,

Jessica

Dear friend,

I will miss our talks, our visits, our get togethers just for the heck of it just to shoot the breeze. I will miss building our computers together. Our love of Utes football/basketball. I will miss just having you there to be a dear friend with. I have known you since those atari days, fun times we had.

But even with the passing of my best friend, I know that your spirit is still with us.

I miss you but i know i will see you again....

Cam you meant so much to every one who has ever had the pleasure of meeting you. You were a very big part of my life, with all your silly pranks, and your santa clause stockings every thing you have done for me has meant so much to me there are no words to explain how you have touched my life in such a special way. please send my love to everyone and I love you, and you will be greatly missed. With all my love maloo

Dear Cam,
Even though we only met for a short time, it was a pleasure to have known you. Dance right into Heaven and straight into the arms of our Lord. You are an awesome and sweet person and we will miss you greatly. Love Joshua and Jessi

Greatest Uncle of All Time,

Happy Birthday Uncle Cam!!!
You have brought me so much joy and have taught me to be a better person.. I wrote this poem for my Uncle Cam

Cam, thanks for the last dance

For he was a good man, with heart of gold,
But he died today, not very old.

An empty house, An empty chair,
A uncles love, No longer there.

A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the...
