Funeral services for Cameron Hayes Sanders, 17 months, of Lufkin will be held Saturday, November 24, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the Carroway Funeral Home Chapel with Brother Wade Bryan officiating. Interment will follow in the Whitehouse Cemetery.
Cameron was born June 3, 2017 in Anchorage, Alaska to Angelina (Ancira) and Cody Sanders, and died Saturday, November 17, 2018 in a local hospital.
Not one person can put in words to the loss, guilt, or emptiness we all feel. Cameron Hayes was a very rambunctious 17-month-old, full of warmth, spunk and love. His smile was completely contagious, and his vindictive half smirk was a staple of his personality. It was adorable but questionable. He always loved being around people, mostly for your soda or snacks. But he was considerate enough to sucker you in with a hug or a smile. Cameron, our sweet angel, you will always and forever be loved, and not ever forgotten.
