THANK YOU FOR VISITING CAMERON'S WEBSITE! IT MEANS MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING THAT HE NOT BE FORGOTTEN AND THAT OTHERS LEARN FROM THIS! Please light a candle or "Let us know you were here" before you leave.
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
We are ever so thankful to have had you in our lives, even if for too short a time. In life, you brought such joy. In death, the most overwhelming heartache one could ever know. But we are still so glad you are and will always be a part of our lives. Your compassionate and sensitive nature made you so special. Those who did not have the chance to really know you are truely the unlucky ones. You touched many hearts and you will forever be missed and loved dearly by your loving family and friends.
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. The day the music died for me.
We hope you will add to this website. You can add pictures, memories, quotes you feel are helpful. Even if you didn't know us and you feel compelled to write something, we appreciate knowing this site is sharing 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 (when he died he had taken the ice guide off the refridgerator so it would go all over rather than into your cup) and gentle soul. He had also been known to rig the ice dispenser to the water dispenser so it would squirt you when you got ice. He was so funny!
Cameron was also a typical boy loving roller coasters, motorcycles, sports cars, all the dare devil things that make moms worry. He also tried hard to fit in and make others laugh. Cameron died when he carsurfed in a shopping cart holding onto a car. The driver took him over a speed bump at approximately 30 mph according to the police report. From what I have been told, I do not believe that it was Cameron's intention to ever go over a speed bump or to go that fast. Charges are pending against the driver.
Cameron was just having fun but he should not have gotten in that cart. He should not have put himself in a situation in which he did not have control. I had never even heard of carsurfing 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 spread the word about this and other dangerous decisions teens make. Cameron would want me to.
I have made up a card called "Choices and Consequences" 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.
A Song 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……
Chorus:
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….
Repeat Chorus
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!
A MOTHER'S PAIN 
You see me smiling.
What you don't see is that I am screaming behind that smile.
You see me go on with everything....work....groceries.....life in general.
What you don't see is that it takes every ounce of energy I have just to breathe.
You see me alone with my thoughts.
What you don't see is me talking to him.
You see me say "I am fine".
What you don't see is the huge hole in my heart that can never be filled.
You see me and think "she's back to normal".
What you don't see is that there is no normal for me anymore.
You see me and think "Oh my God I hope this never happens to me".
What you don't see is that as much as I long for you to understand me... I hope this never happens to you either.
You see me joking and laughing with others and think she must be getting over what has happened.
What you don't see is that I can never forget, nor would I want to, you don't get over the loss of a child.
You see me sad and don't know what to say so you keep going.
What you don't see is all I really want is for you to ask how I am doing, really, and give me a hug.
You see that life goes on.
What you don't see is on March 8, 2008, that the life I had will never be the same.
You see that I am strong...... do not be deceived.
What you don't see is that I am weak and weary. Some days "I am 6 feet from the edge".
What you see is a mask....a lie. The mask helps you cope with me and me cope with myself.
What you don't see is the raw sometimes unbearable pain.
You don't see me being unable to breathe.
What you don't see is my despair. You don't see me screaming to heaven for God to give my son back.
What you don't see you could never understand anyway unless you walk a mile in my shoes.... God Forbid.

Here we are again, another Christmas without you. I cherish the wonderful times we spent together over your beautiful eighteen years. There is a wonderful movie of you and Kristen helping your mom and me decorate our Christmas tree when you were small. In the film, there was a special moment when you hugged me so tight I could barely walk. We were on our way to fetch the candy canes for the tree. Kristen was still small then, but she was the first in line for the treat. It will always be one of my favorite memories of Christmas. Kristen and your mom helped decorate my tree this year. There are new ornaments on the tree for you. You are so missed.

We went to a restaurant called Cherry Pocket a while back and it brought back sweet memories of the last time we were all there together with Cameron. I glanced over at the table we all sat at and the exact spot where Cameron was sitting....It made me smile because of the fun we had that evening. It made me sad too because he is missed so much and that was the last time I saw him. I am sooo grateful we had that evening together.:) A SWEET memory I will never forget!
Love and hugs,
Luanne
