With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Cameron Hughes, a beloved member of the Lumberton community, whose vibrant spirit and compassionate heart left an indelible mark on the lives of all who knew him. Cameron passed away on May 21, 2025, at the young age of 31, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and connection that will be forever cherished.
Born and raised in Texas, Cameron grew up with a love for people, nature, and the simple moments that make life meaningful. From an early age, it was clear that he possessed a rare and gentle soul—someone who brought comfort, laughter, and light into every room he entered. Friends describe him as thoughtful and dependable, with a warm smile that could brighten even the darkest day.
Cameron’s presence was a constant source of love and support for his family. A devoted son, he shared an unbreakable bond with his parents, who provided a foundation of love that shaped the man he became. He was also a dedicated father, whose greatest joy came from the time spent with his children. Whether it was helping with homework, coaching little league, or simply sitting together on a quiet evening, Cameron treasured every second of fatherhood and worked tirelessly to provide a loving, stable, and joyful life for his family.
He was a man who valued hard work, integrity, and loyalty. Cameron took pride in his work and gave his all in every endeavor. His colleagues knew him as someone who led by example—with humility, reliability, and a willingness to lend a hand wherever needed. Whether at home or on the job, he carried himself with a quiet strength and an open heart.
But perhaps what stood out most about Cameron was his selflessness. He was the friend who would show up in the middle of the night if you needed him. The neighbor who never hesitated to help, expecting nothing in return. The family member who never missed a birthday, a holiday, or a moment that mattered. His acts of kindness, though often quiet and behind the scenes, spoke volumes and built a legacy of love and community.
Cameron is survived by his loving parents, his precious children, and a wide circle of extended family and close friends—each one forever touched by his life. In their grief, they remember a man who gave so much and asked for so little, who found joy in the everyday, and whose presence was a gift they will always treasure.
As the Hughes family navigates this difficult time, they ask for the community’s continued prayers, love, and support. In lieu of flowers, the family invites those who knew Cameron to honor his memory by extending a kind gesture to someone in need—just as he so often did.
A service to celebrate Cameron’s life will be announced in the coming days, where stories will be shared, memories cherished, and his extraordinary life remembered with the love and respect he so richly deserves.
Rest in peace, Cameron Hughes. Your light remains with us, shining in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know you.
