I will forever be grateful for the ways that Cameron supported my ministry starting with my ordination service. He made the disjointed parts of planning come together with a beautiful smoothness in the way that he artfully used his gift for music and his love of people. He was there for me in the first church I served, networking on our behalf to bring in talented musicians to lead us in worship. He always had a smile and a warm greeting to share. I am grateful that you were a part of my life. I trust you are having a blast singing in heaven!

Our family is forever grateful for the voice training Cameron provided our nephew and then performing together at our mother-in-law’s funeral. A special moment from a special man.

Our Class of '87 just lost its best tenor, but the angel choir just got better. See you again my dear Brother.

Cameron was the kind of man that embodied goodness and love. My daughter, Liesl, received instruction from Cameron for many years, and she came to love him greatly. The two of them sang together at the church, and had a loving relationship. I, too, became very close to him over the many years. We laughed, we cried, we respected one another. I am absolutely devastated by Cameron’s passing. What I wish for all of the people who loved him, is a sense of peace and admiration. He loved music, he loved teaching, and he loved those who entrusted him with their voices and love. He is an icon, a teacher for all of us…he is forever in our hearts. Bless his family…bless his friends, and bless all of the students whom he touched. Love is a word that does not do him justice…he, was, and is, irreplaceable…may he be at peace.

To Nazee and Roseanna, my heart goes out to each of you at this unexpected and great loss. Cameron was one of my dearest friends. Although we have been geographically apart since he moved Illinois and Iowa, we have stayed in touch and seen each other periodically. I had the great honor and joy of doing the choreography for Cameron's productions while in Texas -musicals, church pageants, show choir competitions - and our collaboration was always so in sync and so creative it remains one of my favorite choreography experiences. I have met you both, but many years ago. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you walk through this life passage. A gift like Cameron had for all things music, for teaching and guiding, and for the love that he shared with so many can not help but continue to shine, in heaven and on earth.

Steven, Nazee, Rosanna, Cheryl, Fred, Russell, and families- My deepest and heartfelt sympathy. Our world is dimmed greatly. I am not alone when I realize that I am a lucky beneficiary of Cameron's passions, talent, character, kindness, thoughtfulness, cheerfulness, and welcoming & understanding smile. His example is a blessing to me and to all who were fortunate to be in his orbit. God bless Cameron and you.

The Shaffner family is filled with sadness to hear that we have lost our dear brother Cameron. We met Cameron at Trinity Bible church in Richardson, Texas and over the years he became a part of our family. He often joined us for lunch after services and sometimes my sisters and I would sing with him at the piano. He was kind and fun. He loved to be silly and had a great laugh. He and my husband loved to talk about their favorite Persian foods. Most importantly, he showed up for people. He honored us by singing at our weddings. When my mother passed, he flew to Dallas to help us pay tribute to her with his incredible musical talent. Cameron was one of a kind. He was so loved and he is gone far too soon. Please know we share in your grief and hold you all in love.

There are no words. May peace and love be with your family, and many friends, now and forever. You remain my favorite singer and laughing companion, and I remain loving you always.

I have fond memories of co-leading a Vacation Bible School with Cameron in 2018. He was affable, full of creative ideas, and connected so effortlessly with the children. When he traveled to Europe prior to VBS that year, he returned and surprised me with a few gifts from his travel. What a pleasant surprise! He was generous and kind, and it goes with our saying, a remarkable musician.

I am so sorry to hear about Cameron’s passing, and send my deepest condolences. Cameron sang and played the piano so beautifully at my grandfather’s funeral. When it came time for my wedding, I knew immediately that Cameron was who I wanted to sing and play the piano for my ceremony. The connection I felt when Cameron performed that day is something I can hardly put into words. I felt my grandfather’s presence at my wedding through Cameron’s music, and for that I am forever grateful. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I haven’t seen Cameron in 20+ years, but I talk about him all the time, as he was the teacher who had the largest impact on my life. He was a light, building confidence in me and all my classmates. He insisted on kindness, to ourselves and to one another, he built beautifully artistic productions with small budgets. He made us all shine, inside and out! So sad to hear of his passing. Sending love and gratitude to his family.

We were members at Noelridge Christian Church where Cameron shared his talents. He helped a small congregation to praise the Lord with amazing song. His piano, voice, and directing were a blessing to us.
