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."

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!

This Halloween is so sad. Home alone and missing you. You may have gone out but I know we would have still watched Ghosthunters Live together, we would have just recorded it. I watched it last year too but this year, I remembered how the last time or the time before that, not sure, you watched it and had heard a whisper that the people there did not hear. You knew right where it was and backed it up and exictedly told me to listen to this. It was really cool! I told you to write in and let them know. Not sure if you ever did. Now, there are things I will never know. This is still all so unfair.

....KEEP MY MEMORY....
....AUTHOR UNKNOWN.....
✿⋰⋱~*♥ღ°•✿•°ღ♥*~⋱✿⋰⋱
Keep my memory with you, for memories never die;
I will be there with you, when you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds, in the birds that fill the air;
In the beauty of a fragrant rose, you will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness, of a baby's gentle touch;
You will hear me if you listen, in the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy, and you feel that you are alone;
Just reach down deep inside of you, for your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you, I will never go away;
For I will live on in your hearts, forever and a day.

Wendy's Big Sister Cyndi | I love you so much | November 2, 2011 |
To my little sister to whom I love and cherish so much. Although the years have passed since our precious Cameron went to be with the Lord, it never really seems to get any easier. People seem to think we forget about the ones we have lost, but I think about my precious little Brayden and Chance Jr on a daily basis. Cameron is constantly on my mind, and the smallest things remind me of him. Like this morning for example; I was driving to work and looked up at the sky, it was the most beautiful colors of pink and orange, the skys in Texas are so amazing in the morning. I could see the light rays from the sun shining through the clouds and thought about Cameron riding his skateboard up and down the light beams. I smiled and then I began to cry because I can only imagine how wonderful it is up in heaven. Cameron will never be forgotten and will always impact each of our lives. Even with the smallest of things Cameron shines through all of them. I love you and I will be home soon. Be ready for the biggest hug you have ever had. Forever I love you and pray for you always, Cyndi
