Cameron’s 17-year-old sister, Maya, shared a statement to her Instagram about her brother and how she’s feeling since his sudden passing. “Yes, he died. Yes, I’m sad,” she wrote alongside images of her brother.
“Cameron was my best friend. He is someone I will always idolize. His smile could light up a room, unlike anyone else’s. He was perfect. He always said that if you have a voice, you have the privilege of using that voice for change, and he did not take that idea lightly. He understood his responsibility as someone so many kids would look up to.”
