Cameron Williams Obituary

Cameron David Williams 1982 ~ 2008 Cameron David Williams, our dearly loved son, brother and friend, was set free from the bonds of mortality, Saturday, February 16th. He was born, December 9th, 1982, in Orem, Utah.Cam was victorious in life and was received by his Maker who gave him life. He is in a state of happiness, a state of rest, a state of peace, where he has respite from all the tubes, catheters and illness that tried to hold him down. He thirsts no more, he is no longer tired, he hungers no more, he runs, he walks, he is laboring and doing whatever is required of him, he is full of life, full of energy, and he is enjoying the presence of his ancestors and his Heavenly Father. Though his passing is devastating to us, we were granted a gift of six additional months that were beautiful and sacred. As his family, we feel cherished and blessed by our association with so great a man. Cam was dubbed at an early age by his siblings as "the perfect child." Indeed, he kept his religious covenants, honored his priesthood and fulfilled his roles, responsibilities and stewardships with great vigor. Cam took on a vicious foe in gastric cancer with all his heart, might and mind. His faith in Jesus Christ and in His enabling Atonement, coupled with the aid of non traditional and traditional medicine, gave him power to wage battle daily and to defy all medical laws. He handled this burden with dignity and grace. He kept his body and spirit undefiled and thus received the blessings of physical, emotional and spiritual strength, stamina and peace. Cam was a generous person and a friend to all, particularly to those whose hands hung low. Cam loved life and all the good things that were offered. He served an honorable and focused L.D.S. mission in the Italy, Rome Mission. He was entering his senior year at BYU. Cam has left a legacy in his short 25 years of love, honor, service and friendship to those who had the good fortune to know him. Cam had long arms and touched so many. Cam made a difference for good in the world and blessed the lives of countless people along his mortal sojourn. We join our hearts with those of you who knew him in bidding him a fond farewell and "we'll see you soon." Cam is survived by his parents David and Paula Williams; his siblings, Amber (David) Bauerle, Lindsey, Charisse and Tanner and his little nephew, Corbin; his grandparents, Shirley Williams, Paul and Alice Mann; along with many uncles, aunts and cousins. Funeral services will be held, (possibly closed casket), Saturday, February 23rd, 2008, at 11 a.m. with visitation two hours prior at the Provo Sharon East Stake Center, 1060 East 2500 North, Provo, UT. An "open casket" viewing will be held at 6 p.m., Wednesday, February 20th, 2008, at the Sundberg-Olpin Mortuary, 495 South State Street in Orem. Interment will be in the East Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Provo.

Dearest Williams Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Just this evening I heard of his passing and fight with cancer. I am deeply moved by his death but can sincerely say that I was even more deeply moved by his life. I have many fond and cherished memories of Cam in class as well as on the field. It was an honor to be his teacher and coach. It is a rare thing to be touched by such wonderful young spirits as your son. Please accept my deepest condolences, may your sorrow be comforted through the knowledge of his great and successful effort to serve others and most importantly the Lord. God Bless. Moroni 8:3

Dear Dave and family,
I am saddened to hear of your son's passing. He fought so hard, and by his example of faith and courage he will influence so manyfor good.
You have given me much insight about Cam in our conversations at AMP Dave. and though I had never met him, I had respect and admiration for him and prayed for he and your family regularly.
I am in Hawaii presently where my wife and family are from, and where we ae commemorating my wife's sudden passing a year ago in Hawaii, of septicemia, blood poisoning. Thank heaven for the truthfulness of the gospel. I am so grateful for our sealing in the Hawaii Temple 52 years ago.
We lost our youngest daughter 8 years ago, at 34, and know of your pain. Bless you all. My love and Aloha. Pat

Dear Brother and Sister Williams~
When my husband and I were at the viewing Wednesday and had the opportunity to meet you, we both felt we knew you~
Kevin thought he had coached Cam at some time and likely we had seen you on the soccer fields. When we returned home, we spoke to our son Zachary and ask if he remembered Cameron.
He said that Cam had been on his Rangers soccer team when they were younger. Kevin coached the Rangers for many years.
What a small world it is.
As Cam's BYU Bishop my husband did not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with your son, due to his health, but felt a warm connection and found him to be a wonderful young man.
I wanted to share this with you~and again express our condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mary Mangum

I only knew Cameron through UVRMC. I prayed for him daily. I never actually met Cameron, but I felt as if he were truly a part of my life. As a matter of fact, my family prayed for Cameron and you, his family. Our sincere sympathy and prayers are with Cam's family and friends.

I did not know Cameron so I actually missed out on knowing what appears to be a phenomenal human being. I have never read a more beautiful obituary. I really think the family has it all figured out and can be comforted in knowing that Cameron is completely free and has gone on to bigger and better things. May God bless you and comfort you in knowing that you will reunite again and he will be anxiously awaiting and preparing that special place for you, his family.

Words can not express how I sorry I am to hear about the death of Cameron. I remember growing up in the ward with him and always thinking what a neat and honorable guy he was. He was always willing to help anybody out. I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I can say I know what it is like to lose a son. Your family will continually be in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult and trying time. He had a wonderful family and you could sence the closeness he had to his parents. What an honor it is to have known Cameron! And what an honor for you as his parents to be his parents. Heavenly father knew you were what he needed in this life to progress to the next life! What a joyous day it will be when you can reunite with your perfect Cameron and raise him in a perfect world.

Since I will not be able to attend the funeral, I wanted to share my thoughts about Cameron here. I met Cameron in May 2006 and we have been good friends ever since. He was my roommate and home teaching companion. I have never met anyone who was so sincerely interested in developing true friendships. He was dedicated and determined in all aspects of life, but he was most concerned with building up others. He was a very generous person and helped build the confidence of many. I am grateful for the chance I had to know and be friends with such a great person. To his family, I express my sorrow for this loss and gratitude for your example to us all. We will all miss this true friend.

We were priviledged to know Cam! He was a loving friend to our family. He had such enthusiasm for life. My husband Kevin enjoyed serving with him in the ward. He was a great example to us. My daughter knew him as the Tahitian Noni man. He was always handing out treats at church to all of us. We will miss him. Our love and prayers are with all of you.

Cameron and I were roommates at BYU. He was really a great guy. He was everybody's friend. We had lots of good times together.

The last opportunity I had to speak to Cameron , we had admitted him once again to our unit, IMC. I wasn't assigned to him as his nurse but I still wanted to go and say hi and see how he was doing. What struck me so deeply was that before I said anything he asked how I was doing. We then had a short but very sweet conversation and as I was leaving his room he thanked me several times for stopping by. As I had come to know through my short associations with Cameron he was the one offering kindness and concern. I will forever be touched by the dignity with which he bore the pain and discomfort of his illness.
