Cameron Gates "Cam" Young

Cameron Gates Young, our beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on March 3, 2026. Cam was a friend to anyone and everyone, and we cannot even begin to count how many lives were touched by the love he had to give.

Cam was born on March 21, 1972, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to George Cannon Young, Jr., and Diana Lynn Sorenson. He was the second in a lineup of eleven children and the great-great grandson of the prophet Brigham Young-a family legacy he was very proud of.

Cam served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Indianapolis, Indiana. He attended Snow College and was a lifelong BYU fan.

He met the love of his life, Amy Geurts, and the two were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on March 27th, 1998. Together they brought five wonderful children into the world. Cam loved his wife and kids. He was their biggest supporter, their most avid sports fan, and the best dad in the world.

Cam loved music and could often be heard singing his own made-up lyrics. He loved cars, motorcycles, and Harley-Davidson. He loved sports and many family trips were taken to watch soccer tournaments. He is known for his flashy belt buckles and his love of silver-and if he could convince you to invest in silver, he would! He also enjoyed collecting star notes, unique currency replacements for misprinted bills.

Cam was an amazing man, generous with his time, means, and affection. He wanted to help everyone and would drop everything for anyone who needed him. He never met a stranger that didn't become a friend, Cam could and would make conversation with anyone and everyone. The legacy he leaves behind is one of service and love. He will be deeply, incredibly missed.

Cam is survived by his loving wife Amy, their five children, Colby, Madalyn, Cadence, Maylie, and Cayson, his mother Diana (Keith) Smith, three brothers, six sisters, nine in-laws, and several nieces and nephews, along with innumerable friends and colleagues. He is preceded in death by his father George and his brother Jordan.
