Born in Chattanooga, TN on May 11, 1991 , Cameron was adopted at the age of 10 weeks by Earl and Selah and was an easy baby right from the start.  He slept through the night from the very beginning. “What parent wouldn’t love that?”

Cameron was always an enthusiastic and explorer child that asked the deep questions about God and life like – Who Is God?  

Many long nights and lengthy discussions were held until Cameron got the answer he was looking for.

He enjoyed playing the piano and organ as a young boy and was actually better than he gave himself credit for being.

Cameron loved talking with people and could easily make great impressions upon those he would meet.

Cameron was a graduate of Tennessee Temple Academy where he played football and he also attended Tennessee Temple University for a time.

He was an avid outdoorsman enjoyed caving, repelling, fishing, rock climbing and kayaking.
