Kameron, loving and helpful, would drop whatever he was doing to help someone in need. One of his favorite things was to open doors for former service members, just so he could thank them for their service. Strong-willed and stubborn, he would test his mother’s patience just because he could. He also loved playing his guitars, fishing, playing golf, cooking, loud music, playing on the Xbox and his motorcycles. Determined and confident, he earned more than 10 trophies in Ju Jitsu Karate at a young age and that same determination and confidence is what got him through boot camp for the United States Marine Corps. Cpl King loved being a Marine.
