Cameron Marshall grew up in Agawam, MA the oldest of three children. Here attended St Thomas School in West Springfield, before graduating with the Class Of 2012 at St Mary High School in Westfield. During his high school years he was active in many sports including lacrosse, soccer, basketball and golf. Cam always had a love for adventure and the great outdoors which led him to become a Soldier in the US Army after graduation. Although he had many accomplishments, his proudest was being an Airborne Soldier with the 18th Airborne Corps stationed at Ft. Bragg. He married his wife Kaitlyn in 2018 and along with daughter Mya, they had a son William in 2018. Cameron’s final duty station was with the Office of Military Commissions at the Pentagon with multiple deployments to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Cameron’s life ended tragically by suicide on Easter Sunday 2022. As a veteran, he was at a 57% higher risk of suicide than his civilian counterparts. We are gathering at a golf event to not only honor him, but to continue his legacy of helping others, which he did so often in life. The Cameron Marshall Scholarship at STM High School, created by the Class of 2012 will be funded to support students at his alma mater. Proceeds will also be given to the following Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) in their mission to support veterans and their families in increasing awareness, providing prevention services and supporting families after the tragedy: Mission 22, Stop Soldier Suicide and TAPS. The VGA provides a means of comradery and a positive coping mechanism to soldiers in need.
