Cameron J. Goheen

Cameron's heart was as big as his hugs. With a spirit for adventure, he had an insatiable passion for traveling the world, exploring new destinations with curiosity, and taking risks with excitement. Cameron loved immersing himself in the history, architecture, food, and culture of each place he visited and his friendliness was infectious; he made friends wherever his journeys took him. Whether he was snowboarding down the slopes or wandering through new places, his curiosity and excitement for life shone through.
Cameron was incredibly intelligent, possessing an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a knack for problem-solving. He was a treasure trove of knowledge who knew a little bit about everything. His commitment to justice and his refusal to turn a blind eye to wrongdoings highlighted the selflessness he displayed so vividly throughout his life. However, it was his generosity, patience, and loving nature that truly defined him. He was always ready to lend a hand, offer a listening ear, or share a piece of his heart with anyone in need. He loved his family and friends fiercely-his impact on their lives will never be forgotten.
Beyond his wanderlust, Cameron was a true lover of stories. He found joy in the pages of murder mystery novels and was deeply moved by music. Playing guitar, attending concerts and festivals, and sharing his passions brought him immense happiness. He loved nothing more than connecting and reminescing with others through those shared experiences.
Cameron is survived by his parents, Jerry and Eylonda; his brother, Branden; and his wife, Carman Goheen, with whom he shared a lifetimes worth of memories, a strong bond, and a love that was tested but never broken. He also leaves behind countless friends and family who cherished the profound influence he had on their lives. Cameron is preceded in death by his beloved dog, Bella, and far too many friends and family members who left this world too soon.
A celebration of Cameron's life will be held on March 8, 2025, at 1:00 PM at Morning Star Community Church Main Sanctuary (4775 27th Ave. SE, Salem, OR). Friends and family are invited to bring photos or share stories of how Cameron enriched their lives, as we come together to honor a truly remarkable man who will be profoundly missed.
