I just wanted the Cameron family to know that you are in my thoughts. I met Nick a short time ago in the naval reserves over at Mac Dill Air Force Base. We were the most junior people there so it was easy for us to forge a friendship. In the short time that I knew Nick I could tell that he was a person that you could depend on and a great friend. I will miss having Nick along for our drill weekends.

Dear Hayden and family,

I never met your son, but, Hayden, I remember when we worked together at the Enquirer. We moved on to different lives and to form our respective families. How saddened I was to hear from Kerry & Maria that you have lost your beloved son. My deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family. I learned of this terrible news while visiting Elaine Sutherland Durrant in England. She has asked me to express her deepest regrets and to send you her sympathies. God bless you, your family, and all who knew and loved Nicholas.

I have to say my reaction is very similar to Brian Qualters. Although I have not been in touch with Nick for many years I think I will always consider him a great friend. Oddly enough on a recent trip to Tucson for work I mentioned to a fellow passenger about a turbulant plane ride that Nick and I took between Atlanta and Birmingham going to US Space Camp in 1994. We have many memories together from our first jobs at Winn Dixie on Dixie Hwy in Lantana to football at Lake Worth and being roommates at Space Camp before our senior year at LWHS. God Bless your service Nick and may God also grant you "Fair Winds and Flowing Seas"...Your smile and warm heart will be missed by not only your close family and friends but also all of us in your extended family. From my family to yours; we send our deepest condolences to the Cameron family during this time of loss.



Best Wishes,

Brian T Bonehill, Capt, USAF

Dear Cameron family~

My mother (Maria Pope) called me in Chicago (where I attend college), to tell me what happened to Nicholas. My memories from Florida I keep very close to my heart, and remember always hearing about your family. At one time or another I am sure I have met your family through the Enquirer, and I am very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers...

Nick and I have spent almost everyday together the past 6 months. The days we were not together we would talk forever on the phone. He had a way about him that made you feel like you were the most important thing at that point in time. He was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to and we would share things that no one else knew about. It was always Bear, Nick, and I together cooking dinner or going places and we always had the most fun. I will always love and remember Nick for the amazing man he was. I have never met anyone like him and never will because Nick was one in a million. I am lucky to have had him in my life even for that short time. I will miss him everyday. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

My condolences to all of Nick's family and friends. I met Nick 1 & 1/2 years ago when I stayed with him and Bear for July 4th weekend, and I recently had the pleasure to stay with him and Bear again when we went to Disney in Oct. The things that come to mind when I think of Nick are: gentleman, sweet, caring, fun, remarkable. I videotaped that July 4th trip and watched the tape the other night. Nick was constantly smiling and laughing to the camera. And when he smiled, his whole face lit up. I will miss that.

Nick was a special and unique individual. Nick loved everything about life, especially his family and close friends. Nick did not have a selfish bone in his body and everyone who knew him loved him. I had the pleasure of knowing Nick for a short while. Although I had not spoken to him in over a year, knowing that I will never have the opportunity to talk to him again saddens me very much. What I do have are wonderful memories and those memories I will keep with me for the rest of my life. My sincerest sympathy to his family.

I met Nick in May of 2002 when Nick and my daughter, Stephanie had a "boyfriend/girlfriend" relationship. We spent an entire day and evening together as we waited for Stephanie to recover from a surgical procedure.

Nick was more than special,to me. He was kind, considerate and had a friendly, out-going personality. I remember his handsome face, smiling eyes and the warm affection which radiated from his presence. Nick was a true gentleman. He showed the utmost respect to me and my daughter during their courtship. I never worried about Stephanie when I knew she was with Nick, and I was disappointed when their relationship ended, as I could definately see him as a prospective son-in-law.

My sincerest sympathy and empathy to Nick's parents and siblings. Nick was a wonderful young man; a credit to his family, whom he spoke of to me, lovingly and the U.S. Navy, which he served proudly.

I loved Nick, I will never forget him and I will hold him in my heart always and forever.

Although I have not spoken to Nick for a few years, not a day went by when I had not wondered how he was doing. I always considered him a dear friend and was proud to hear that he had served for our country. I have fond memories of the wonderful times we had during High School. My thoughts and prayers go out for the Cameron Family.

When I think of Nick, these words come to mind: passionate, lighthearted, loveable, sincere, and brave. Nick was a very unique person. To some shy, but to those who knew him:he is a profound man who recognized good in everyone.

Nick would be the first to see your strengths ,and overlook your weaknesses. He thought with his heart, and all that he did was heartfelt. Nick was a special individual to all that knew him.

He is dear to many, many people.



Nick, you will never be forgotton.

We pray for peace to you and all your close family and friends.

We love you dearly.

I just got one of those calls that you never want to receive. Nick was such an incredible guy. I met him through my friend Stephanie, who was dating him at the time. Nick and I became traveling buddies back and forth from Pensacola to Orlando. I am so sad that he is gone. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. Words cannot express what I want to say, I wish I could hug you all and share happy stories of Nick.



Sincerely,

Kirsten
