Cameron Matthew Bieberle

Cameron was extremely loving, compassionate and high spirited. A close friend said, “Cameron was so many things.  He held so much compassion, kindness and love.  He was always patient, cared deeply for his family and friends and never held grudges, fought or yelled.  He would accept anyone and listened to any problems.  He was chivalrous, shy, yet also strong-willed.  He was ultimately a selfless person.  And I want to thank you for shaping and raising the young man I grew to love and trust."

One of his teachers said, “When Cam was in my class, I would anxiously wait for him to walk in the door.  Why? .. because his smile, his unassuming manner, his pure love for everyone was like a breath of fresh air.  Out of all the students that I have lost in death, Cam's homegoing has been the most devastating for me.  Why? ... because he gave so much more than he got.  ... because he was always more concerned about others than himself ... because he saw the good in others before he saw the bad.” 

And a friend’s mother said, "Cameron meant so much to my daughter - more than people realize. She had such a hard time in middle school - so many changes in her life - not just those awkward years but also I was getting ready to have a baby and for some reason she had a really hard time making friends. It was very sad and difficult. She blossomed later in high school but those middle school years were so difficult. Except for Cameron. Wendy, Cameron was her friend no matter what and ALWAYS made her smile, never looked down on her and always said hello. I remember one time we were at the 7-11 after school and Cameron was there along with some other kids. Cameron went up to her and talked to her and he just made her smile. Then some kids said 'Come on Cam.  Why you talkin to her??’ He said because he wanted too...and then he said goodbye and left. At first she was sad that they said what they did but I said look at who the true friend was...Cameron. We loved seeing him riding his bike back and forth to school and we would always wave hello and he would wave back. Cameron also had a big impact on her trip to New York. A lot of the kids didn't want to hang out with her - but Cameron had no problem. I just wanted you to know how important Cameron was to her - especially during those years. Middle school is always rough - but Cameron was the diamond in the rough for my daughter- and I want to thank you for raising such an amazing young man .He will always impact her life. He was extremely special to her."

 

 Me and Courtney 2009
  

 This memorial website was created to remember our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, Cameron Matthew Bieberle who was born in  Orlando, FL on September 3, 1989 and died on March 8, 2008.  For me, it was the day the music died.  But since music meant so much to Cameron, I am trying to sing again.

Cameron's Story:

Cameron was blooming into a fine young man.  Although he hadn't matured yet physically (he was always small), he was loving his job at UPS and his new Dodge Stealth (he only had it 2 weeks).  He was an only son and brother, very protective of his mom and sister.  I will always miss his charming smile, practical jokes and gentle soul. 

Cameron was also a typical boy loving roller coasters, motorcycles, sports cars, all the things that make moms worry.  He also tried hard to fit in and make others laugh.  Cameron died when he car surfed in a shopping cart holding onto a car.  He shouldn't have got in that cart.  He shouldn't have put himself in a situation in which he did not have control. A bad decision but not one that should have cost him his life.  The driver was  then in total control of the situation and drove him over a speed bump anywhere between 29 and 42 mph thereby causing Cameron's death and being found guilty of Vehicular Homicide for his part in the car surfing incident.  He served a 4 year sentence. 

I had never heard of car surfing before this happened to us.  Since then, I have heard many stories about different types of carsurfing.  Some died, some didn't get hurt at all and some are still trying to recover from traumatic brain injuries.  It is on tv, youtube and in video games.  I need to do all I can to make kids aware of what can really happen when you car surf.  You can die.

I have made up a card about the dangers of "Car Surfing" that tells his story.  I give them out when appropriate and many others are doing the same.   Thank you to everyone who is helping to keep Cameron's memory alive and hopefully, save others.  If anyone would like cards, please let me know.

This life seems like an eternity of emptiness without him.

A face we love is missing

A voice we love is still

A vacant place in our hearts

that only you could fill.

Christmas 2004.  He loved his new guitar! 

      Cameron, you were such a special person and part of our lives and we miss you so much it's almost unbearable.  Loving you was easy but losing you is the hardest thing ever.  Words cannot say how much I hurt inside.  I so wish I could go back to that day and make you stay at the concert with us.  I would have never let you leave. My love for you will live on infinitely. You always had fun and I'm sure Heaven is a brighter place with you there.  Your love of life, love for your family and friends, and love of music will always be remembered and cherished and you will forever be the beautiful music in our lives.

LIFE IS A SONG, LOVE IS THE MUSIC.

    Written for Cameron:

In Only A Moment by his Mom

I didn’t know it

would be the last day

The last day I would see you,

hug you and say

“Be careful, I love you”

but come what may

In only a moment

you’d be taken away.

In the car I felt something

I didn’t know

It was you leaving this earth

the angels came for you

We found out the next morning

And I couldn’t feel

Anything……

In only a moment

My whole world changed

A moment so fast

It took my breath away

Numbness that lasted

It won’t go away

In only a moment

How do I go on?

How do I breathe?

My child is dead and

I wish it’d been me

Nothing compares to

This kind of pain

My life is now ruined

And it just won’t change.

It’s been almost a year and

People don’t understand

They think

It’s time to move on but

To do that would mean

Forgetting

Everything….

Nothing will keep me

from thinking of you

The sun shining down,

the moon glowing too

You’re always on my mind

I won’t leave you behind

People shouldn’t

want me to.

Nothing will ever

Be the same

What’s important has changed

And in order to go on

you must remain

In my life

Forever…

Dedicated to my son

Cameron Bieberle.

You inspire me everyday

 and will for the rest of my days...

 Until I am with you again, I love you baby!
