To Cameron's memory & those who Love/Loved him:
I just had another friend who was not within any current social circle of my closer friends, but who I knew during a significant phase of life in the past.
This reminded me of Cameron, who was a big part of our world all throughout college & a bit after for me! I miss the guy & keep him in my heart via memory :)

I worked with Cameron on the Enterprise. He was one of my favorite people there. I spent many hours talking with him. He was such a nice guy, always good for a laugh. It breaks my heart to know that he is gone. Rest in peace, Cameron.

My prayers are with you Trent and your family. Cameron subleased a parking space from me, I never saw him face to face but I talked with him on the phone and he was always plesant to talk too. Angie Tisdale (o57)

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I went through the pipeline with Cam and became good friends with him up in Saratoga Springs. We had a lot of really incredible times together from going to New York City to recording our jam sessions to just swapping stories. I always imagined meeting back up with him and seeing that ear to ear smile of his. I'll miss him.

going to highschool and vcu with cameron was always an amazing adventure in itself...but it wasnt until after i was paralyzed in a car accident as a passenger in 2005 that we became even closer. he went through hell trying to find me when i got out of the hospital and came to my 22nd birthday party when he had leave. he was always an amazing friend reminding me that i was strong and inspirational... BUT he's the one of the ones that gave me that. hes the one of the ones that made me strong. losing cameron is more than a wake up call because i had mine a long time ago..,its a reminder that even through flaw there is perfection. PURELY AMAZING PEOPLE DO STILL EXIST. holding his hand with his father will probably be one of the most beautiful memories in my life..because we knew, he was STILL with us.

I was apart of the group of sailors that gave Cameron the proper honor that he deserved. Although I did not know him personally, he is still a sailor and will forever be. Nearly everyone that rendered him military honors was his age and we all thought the same thing...he wasn't supposed to be there, not for a very long time. As friends and family, stay strong. We, as his fellow sailors and shipmates will.

Trent, Brenda, Chad and your entire beautiful family,
On my way to the wake yesterday evening I saw one of the biggest rainbows I've ever seen after a storm. As I sat at the stoplight I lost my breath for a moment at the sight of that rainbow. Somehow I knew it came from him. After your choice of song this morning at the funeral, Chad, I am absolutely sure of it. Cameron wasn't just loved, he WAS love. We are all better people for having him in our lives. Thank you for sharing him with us. I am so honored proud to have had him, and you, as part of my "dash."
I love you all.

Your joy and laughter will always remain in my memories. The days of play together while growing up will never be forgotten. You always knew how to make me and everyone around you smile.

We got too know Cameron through our son Joshua. I had the opportunity to build houses with him in South Norfolk just before he joined the Navy. My life is better because of it. Cameron brought joy to our family. He will be missed. These words are really hard to type, but I just want you to know we enjoyed the time we spent with Cameron and are very sorry. God Bless you.

Cameron was a great friend and Theta Chi brother of mine. He was one of the people within the Fraternity that helped me understand the value of happiness and joy in ones life. I spent many evenings singing the blues and playing guitar with Cameron, memories of joy and happiness I will never forget. My thoughts go out to his parents and all his friends and loved ones, as he had so many. Once someone met Cameron, they could never forget him.

Cameron,
I first met you back in our Salem Middle School days, and I remember no one could stay in a bad mood around you. You had such a wonderful gift of making people smile and laugh away any worries. You have touched the lives of many of us and for that you will always remain in our hearts. May you rest now in the place where there is no pain , no suffering, no sorrow, but life eternal...

To Cameron's parents and family--
Ryan (Petrosky) and I (his mom) want to express to you how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Ryan had not seen Cameron since they lived together over a year ago, until Friday night. He said they had a wonderful time catching up and Ryan was so pleased to see Cameron doing so well and seemingly very content with life. Ryan also wants you to know specifically that they absolutely did all the right things to try be responsible in getting home Friday night. It is all just such a terrible tragedy and Ryan wishes so much there was something he could do or say to ease some of your pain. Know that the police have Ryan's contact information and if he can help you piece together any information, he wants to do anything he can to help. I met Cameron last year, along with, I believe, his brouther and cousin. I was staying with Ryan while he had eye surgery and had fun cooking for all the guys for a week. Cameron was definitely full of love and life and I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
