Cameron Bailey Reininger

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Cameron Bailey Reininger, age 23, who left this world far too soon but filled every moment with light, laughter, and love.

Cameron was full of life. He had a gift for making people laugh, often at his own expense, and never took himself too seriously. Goofy, quick-witted, and deeply loyal, he believed that friends were family, and if he loved you he loved you fiercely. He had a presence that made people feel safe, seen, and never alone.

He loved fishing, fast cars, and gaming on his Xbox with his friends. He had a creative soul, especially when it came to making music. In the last few months of his life, Cameron found deep peace and joy through his faith. He gave his heart to God, became active in church, and had just begun working there, something he was incredibly proud of. He also found purpose in reaching out to struggling youth and wanted to use his story to help others find hope.

Cameron is survived by and deeply loved by his mother, Cheryl LeAnne LaDew, and his father, Daniel Justin Reininger and he shared an unbreakable bond with his stepfather, Shane Aren LaDew. He is also survived by his brothers Pierce, Braden, and Gage, and his little sister Anistyn, all of whom he loved with his whole heart.

Cameron leaves behind several sets of grandparents who adored him, along with many cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and additional siblings through his father's side, all who loved him deeply and will carry his memory forward.

His favorite color was blue, which matched both the spark in his bright eyes and the depth of his spirit. Cameron brought people together, lifted those around him, and lived with heart. Though his time here was far too short, his impact was profound. He will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever.
