Tribute to Cameron

Cameron Williams passed away Saturday Morning. We were in St. George when we got the call. Chris and Cam are cousins and Very Very close. Before Chris and I were married, we hung out with Cam a lot. Cam had an amazing spirit and heart. He was always so happy and loving. He was diagnosed with cancer on the day Mylie was born, yet he was there at the hospital to meet Mylie just the very next day. 25 is way too young to end life, but you are needed somewhere else. We love you Cam and will miss you!!



Cameron David Williams



Cameron David Williams, our dearly
loved son, brother and friend, was set
free from the bonds of mortality,
Saturday, February 16th.He was born,
December 9th, 1982, in Orem, Utah.
Cam was victorious in life and was
received by his Maker who gave him life.
He is in a state of happiness, a state of
rest, a state of peace, where he has respite
from all the tubes,catheters and illness
that tried to hold him down. He thirsts
no more, he is no longer tired,he hungers
no more, he runs, he walks, he is laboring and doing whatever
is required of him, he is full of life, full of energy, and he is
enjoying the presence of his ancestors and his Heavenly Father.
Though his passing is devastating to us, we were granted a gift
of six additional months that were beautiful and sacred. As his
family, we feel cherished and blessed by our association with so
great a man.
Cam was dubbed at an early age by his siblings as "the perfect child."
Indeed, he kept his religious covenants, honored his priesthood and
fulfilled his roles, responsibilities and stewardships with great vigor.
Cam took on a vicious foe in gastric cancer with all his heart, might
and mind. His faith in Jesus Christ and in His enabling Atonement,
coupled with the aid of non traditional and traditional medicine, gave
him power to wage battle daily and to defy all medical laws. He
handled this burden with dignity and grace. He kept his body and
spirit undefiled and thus received the blessings of physical, emotional
and spiritual strength, stamina and peace.
Cam was a generous person and a friend to all, particularly to those
whose hands hung low. Cam loved life and all the good things that
were offered. He served an honorable and focused L.D.S. mission
in the Italy, Rome Mission. He was entering his senior year at BYU.
Cam has left a legacy in his short 25 years of love, honor, service
and friendship to those who had the good fortune to know him.
Cam had long arms and touched so many. Cam made a difference
for good in the world and blessed the lives of countless people
along his mortal sojourn. We join our hearts with those of you who
knew him in bidding him a fond farewell and "we'll see you soon."
Cam is survived by his parents David and Paula Williams; his siblings,
Amber (David) Bauerle, Lindsey, Charisse and Tanner and his little
nephew, Corbin; his grandparents, Shirley Williams, Paul and Alice
Mann; along with many uncles, aunts and cousins.
Funeral services will be held, (possibly closed casket), Saturday,
February 23rd, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. with visitation two hours prior
at the Provo Sharon East Stake Center, 1060 East, 2500 North,
Provo, UT. An "open casket" viewing will be held at 6:00 p.m.,
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008, at the Sundberg-Olpin
Mortuary, 495 South State Street in Orem. Interment will be in
the East Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Provo.


We Love you all.... Amber, Tanner, Charisse, Lindsey & Cam

That was really sweet Ash. That was cool that he got to meet Mylie. Isn't it wonderful that we know The Plan?

what a tribute to Chris' cousin. We know what it is like to lose someone so young (david's brother was 18 when he died) and know it is difficult because you miss them so much in this earth life. Thank you for sharing Cam and what he meant to you all with us.
