Camden Castle Obituary
Camden was born and raised in Lake Wales, Florida and attended Winter Haven Christian School throughout his elementary and middle school years. He attended Lake Wales High School where he graduated "cum laude" in 2021. Camden just got out in the work field over the last year; he worked at SabCon Underground where he enjoyed his work and his co-workers.
Camden was a very caring, loving, smart, funny, hardworking young man who was taken from us way too soon. He loved driving his car - he had the need for speed. He enjoyed gaming, mining, all computer stuff and just hanging out with his closest friends. He has left an ever-lasting impression with many. Camden had such a bright future ahead of him, and we will never understand why he left this Earth so soon or the way he left us. He will be dearly missed by so many. We look forward to the day we will re-unite with him in Heaven. He is in God's hands.
John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Camden leaves behind: His parents: Tim and Kelly Castle. Grandparents: Judy Wilson, Van and Jewel Kitchens, Danny and Geraldine Castle. Aunts & Uncles: Cory Wilson, Tina & Kenny Martin, Dana & Dion Dixon, Scott & Sandra Kitchens, Tammy & Lee Bushong. First cousins: Destiny Iglesias, Roe Kitchens, Tristan Dixon, Wilson Kitchens, Susannah Wilson, Amy Beth Wilson, Cassie Cleaver, Kenna Martin, Kaila Combs, Scott Martin, Tina Jaworski, Jason Neff, Ben Cochran, Jarrod Bentley, Daniel Bentley.
His closest friends: Hunter Lehning, Xander McClure, Aamir Baloch, James Plank, Lachlan Dean.

As I think back on some memories of Camden, I remember when he was first introduced to me in "extended care" at WHCS. I always called him the wrong name like "Cameron" or "Connor" and he would just look at me like, "Mrs. King, you know better"! He was quiet but when he did something it was always something I noticed. I remember when he was 9 years old and he was able to carry his own epi pen to school and I was so proud of him. I hated having to sit him by himself at snack time when the other kids had cookies or something (I always read the labels due to the processing of peanuts) and if they had something with PB then I had to keep him separated. Once I caught him licking the windows on the doors of the school and had a very long discussion with him about the germs, his allergies and how he should not allow Breanna to manipulate him into doing things like that! She was his good friend and they always were up to something they thought were funny. I remember saying, "how am I going to explain this to his mama"! I wanted to post this 3 years ago but it didn´t seem appropriate at the time. I hope you all can laugh a little and appreciate such a memory! He was one of my faves in my class and I loved that kid!

It seems like there isn´t a day that goes by that I don´t think about Camden & Kelly & Tim. Camden´s absence is palpable, but so is his presence in all of our hearts. Kelly & Tim, just know that you are loved.

I've only know Camden for about 6 years but in that time it has felt a lot longer. Camden was always a good friend of mine that I am thankful to have met through Hunter. Camden was somewhat of great procrastinator but he was a lot more efficient at it than me. He'd finish online classes successfully in no time and get an A, even if it was the last few days. Camden and I, and some other friends in our group would play games a lot. Those were some of the best times of my life, and I won't forget them. Whether it was finding exploits in games or messing around we always had a great time. Camden will be missed.

I will always remember Camden when he was a little kid. He would come into the office after school from time to time with Kelly. I will never forget his kind shy smile. He always laughed and tolerated our dad jokes. It was a pleasure to know him and watch him grow. Tim and Kelly, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Lots of love and big hugs, Eric & Cady

We first learned about Camden´s and Hunter´s friendship at Green Meadows Farm. Steve and Kelly had no choice but to helicopter them together, because they were inseparable. This was only the 1 of many great adventures for all of us over the next fifteen years. These adventures included, Pre-K, camping, birthday parties, sleepovers, field trips, extreme kids, nerf wars, fort building, water balloon fights, bike riding, basketball, slip n slide (with bubble bath), legos, movies, bowling, swimming, boating, and let us not fail to mention the many hours, days, months, and yes even years of video gaming. Those two, and later several others were constantly video gaming with each other. It wasn´t the video gaming we did as children, it was much more about talking, chatting, joking, and clowning around while they just happened to be playing a video game. More recently they were talking cars, and eating at Culvers or Schack´s. Camden and Hunter certainly had a friendship to envy. Camden was a welcome addition to our family every time he came around. He was a sweet, funny, friendly, jokester. He was handsome, kindhearted, respectful, thoughtful, soft spoken and honest. We got the privilege of watching those two grow up from tiny toddlers to fine young men. We were and are very proud of how they were turning out as they were transitioning to adulthood. We loved Camden like a son, and we will miss him dearly. Our hearts are breaking daily, for your lost and ours. Tim and Kelly, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for anything. We love you guys. There is a hole that will never be filled. But I know we will see him again when we reunite again in heaven one day. He just got there before us, so he will get to show us all around once we rejoin there. We are praying for all who loved Camden.

I met Camden at a Church Daycare at 4 years old, but before I had even talked to him, he told me he didn´t like me. That didn´t last very long. We finally talked because of a mutual friend and kicked off our friendship from there. As the months and years progressed, we became inseparable. It was a great start to a remarkable journey with him as my Best Friend. I say best friend, but in truth, he was more like a brother. We went on a bunch of fieldtrips together with daycare, we spent nearly every moment for years with each other, whether online, in person, or on the phone. I remember time spend between his house and mine, felt like we knew and spent time together forever. He was at most of my birthdays, we spent Easter together. I have countless stories that resonate who he was, and who I was with him. Some of these stories include running around in a golf cart, shooting birds with nerf darts. He was my brother, best friend, and my favorite person in the world. We would spend countless hours together. Most of my life was filled with us together completing adventures, playing games at his house our mine, playing clone hero, tag at a water park, riding in a go-cart and so many more memories. I can truly say he changed who I am and helped make me who I am today. For this I am forever grateful to Kelly and Tim who raised an amazing human being, and for willingly becoming my second family.

Kelly and Tim, Camden was such a sweet and gentle soul, and he was loved as much as any son could ever be by the two of you. He was amazingly savvy with finances and technology, and his love for cars, especially his own, was infectious.
I look back with fondness at the times Kelly and I took Camden and Tristan to Epcot in Florida and Science City and Fritzs in Kansas City. I remember being so joyful in those moments we had together because I knew how precious they were, even back then. I knew because of the many miles between us, it wasn't often we would get to share in those experiences.
My favorite memories of Camden, though, are sitting around the dining room table at Christmas time or in the summer when we would all be in Little Rock. We would always grill Camden with questions, and he would respond in that laid-back cadence. I would always get so tickled because he reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite when he talked. He was such an adorable kid!
My heart hurts for you two that you have to bear this unbearable sorrow. Know that you have the strength of your marriage, your faith, and family and friends to help you always. I will forever rejoice in the time I had with Camden, as I'm sure we all will, however short it may have been.
Lots of love, Dana

Camden was so nice and after working with Camden for quite a while I don´t think I ever heard him get upset or say no. After he broke through his initial shell he was showing all the potential in the world to do whatever he wanted. Whatever he set his mind to he became an expert in, I still don´t know how crypto currency works but he knows everything about it. My thoughts and prayers are with Camden and his family, he´s going to be missed

He was always the cool older cousin (we all, Talan, Amy, and I, glued ourselves to him). When we were little he would bring his X box to grandmas and we would all sit in the back room and play Minecraft and Motorcross Madness. Cam was always so patient with us, teaching us how to use the controllers and play the games. A lot of funny shenanigans happened when we all played together. I remember all the adults told us to sit farther away from the tv and finally, when I was seeing everything through the pixel-y eyes of Minecraft, we had to be cut off. We all adored him and he was so good to us.
(I love you guys so much I'll try to write up some more sweet memories soon)

i remember when we came down to florida he took us Busch Gardens, i was so excited to ride a real roller coaster for the first time! i had always been too afraid before, but i vowed to myself i could.
i'd looked up to Camden my whole life, dancing around in grandmas living room trying to play fruit ninja, playing with the little fake talking birds we got for christmas, and him patiently trying to show me how to play Minecraft.
since he was always the cool older cousin i was never quite sure how to talk to him, still, the whole drive to the amusement park he talked and told us all these funny stories from his work. he used to seem quiet and nonchalant but when you got into conversation with him he was so funny!
we walked all around the park, and since he knew all the secrets, which metal detectors were real, and which rides we should go to while the lines were still short, it was like we ruled the park! we road a lot of the roller coasters, but then he said he wanted to go on the new one, Iron Gwazi. It was the tallest, fastest, and steepest hybrid roller coaster in the world. i was completely terrified.
still, we got in line and started in together. as the roller coaster climbed slowly up i asked him if he was nervous, and he admitted "a little for the drop, but after that we would be fine." as we made it up, inches from the top, i turned to him and said "this was your call" then boom we were gone.
i swear i left my soul at the top, but i just kept repeating to myself "we'll be fine after the drop, we'll be find after the drop" and we were, zooming around the bends, screaming and laughing, the earth and sky rushing by in an ethereal sort of way.
all to soon it was over, and we were unbuckling and laughing, the adrenaline rush was so crazy, i was shaking for at least 15 minutes after! i remember as soon as we were back on solid ground he turned to me and smiled saying "that one was pretty good, we should do it again."
we road every single roller coaster in the park that day, and it was perfect.

Cam! You will be severely missed by all of those whose lives you touched.. I wanted to reflect for a while on memories.. The girls and I tonight remembered fun times with him at holiday's. playing yahtzee and watching movies.. In their words he was down-to-earth.. I always seen him as very level headed, and a kid blessed with common sense. He could always help anyone with the computer... and many times helped grandma with her phone :D Although he may have been quiet, I'm realizing now just how brilliant he was.. Losing you way too soon has taught me to appreciate every day as a gift . especially to hold close those you love everyday. I hold on to the fact that we will embrace again one day.

I wish words could describe the hurt we feel for you; Tim and Kelly. We were lucky to have Camden come work with us and watch him blossom into an amazing young man. Camden was hard working, dedicated, funny and so handsome. He touched all of us who got to work with him daily. Thank you for sharing Camden with us and the memories we all at SabCON will keep in our hearts of him. We will share those memories and laughs as a team. All our love Scott, Kellie and our SabCON family

Camden was one my first friends. I've known him since I was 5years old. I still remember running around with him in kindergarten and making fun of him while playing football. All those p.e classes we would try to put the minimum amount of effort into. I grew up next to him at whcs and we became inseparable in middle school. We always got made fun of because I can't eat chocolate and he couldn't eat peanut and get Reece's cups thrown at us. Playing games all day and night and talking 24/7. Going to hangout and watch movies with all of our friends. Joking about racing in our cars. Talking late into the nights. He made such a lasting impression on me and many of us which we can never forget. We always had friendly competition challenging each other to be better than the other. He leaves an empty spot in so many of us. We will never forget you Camden. Prayers out to all of you. Gone too soon. Rip Camden.

Camden and I haven´t spoke in probably over 2 years. It still hits hard knowing someone who was a great friend passing so soon. Although I have never met him in person I always thought of him as someone who was close. I met him through a mutual friend Hunter Lehning and we played games together online and talked about cars. It was exciting when he got his current car. We talked about it for a good hour and that was the last time we spoke. I wish it weren´t that way and I spoke with him more. But I know now he is in a better place and I´ll pray for him and his family and friends. Gone too soon LLC
