Cameron David Perkins

Cameron David Perkins, 26, departed this world for the next adventure May 3, 2004. Born April 2, 1978, in Phoenix, Arizona, Cameron charged into life full steam ahead. He graduated from Mesa High School in 1996, where he participated in ROTC, Junior Varsity Cross Country and Choir. After high school, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He loved music and was a talented writer and rap performer. He laughed heartily, loved fiercely and lived his life with gusto. Though he rarely had two nickels to rub together he would not hesitate to give away whatever he had to a friend or a stranger in need. He will always be loved and dearly missed by his parents, Dave and Claire, sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Justin, brother Ryan, fiancee Aimee, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and many cousins and friends.
