Cameron James Spears, 17, went to be with his Lord and Savior in Heaven on Tuesday May 12, 2026. He was a junior at Pine High School, Class of 2027, who was a very positive and uplifting person that had a kindness and desire to help others, no matter the situation.
Cameron was the light of every room he was in and he loved his mother and sister so very much. He loved the outdoors, coon, hog and deer hunting with his grandfather and riding 4-wheelers. Cameron liked going to the beach and enjoyed playing youth baseball and other sports. He loved listening to his favorite music and dancing. He also enjoyed making marketplace deals and building 4-wheelers with Hardy.
Cam just loved to smile and bring joy to others. He was a member of Storehouse Church that truly loved the Jesus, which showed in how respectful he was to everyone he met, including being the man he was to his girlfriend Shelbie. He will be forever sadly missed by his family, friends, classmates and everyone that knew him.
