A Note From Cameron’s Mom: October 13, 2015 – the day all of Cameron’s loved ones’ world changed forever. The heartbreak of suicide took the life of my son on that day. Cameron was the apple of my eye and my entire world.
Gwen Chapman President of Cameron Cares, Inc.
Within minutes of being in Cameron’s presence everyone would recognize how selfless and kind he was. His heart was big, his mind intelligent, and his compassion toward others intense.
Cameron’s drumming career allowed him the opportunity to travel all over the United States at a very young age, meeting so many people along the way. The commonality spoken of those who crossed Cameron’s path was how mindful, happy, and generous he was. Upon entering a room, he shone a bright light on all those around him. Cameron Cares, Inc. was formed in memory of him based on the same pretense of giving to others needing more than what he had. I’ve always been proud of the young man Cameron was and proud of the works Cameron Cares, Inc. continues to carry on his legacy.
