Cameron Bond Wachter

Cameron Bond Wachter, born February 20, 1992, in San Diego, California, passed away on November 5, 2025, at the age of 33, from an accidental overdose.

Cameron was a shining light in the lives of all those who had the privilege to know him when his mind and body were strong. His journey was marked with love, compassion, and a radiant spirit. His passing has left a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the many more whose lives were touched by him.

Although Cameron struggled with addiction for all of his adult life, it was the times in recovery, mind and body clean and strong, when he was larger than life. His presence could light up a room and he could draw in everyone and have them laughing and playing within minutes, especially children. In most recent years, we were very fortunate to grow very close to him, taking family trips, making wonderful, loving, and joyful memories that we can hold close at times of profound grief.

Cameron loved his kids beyond measure. He made sure their wildest dreams came true. An example of his limitless love was when they wanted to play wiffle ball but Cameron decided playing wasn’t enough so in the back yard they spent an entire weekend building a wiffle ball field, spray painting the bases, and then cracking wiffle balls over the fences, and running the bases. That day the kids learned if you can dream it, we can build it.

Cameron was big on finding a way to make things happen for all the kids. In his lifetime he was a big kid with a soft heart and a kind soul.

Cameron seemed to be great at any sport he played but he loved playing softball the most. He and his wife, Britany, played on the Sandy Sober Softball League, Step 10 team, nearly every Friday, and signed up for as many tournaments as possible. He came home with a Home Run Derby bat a time or two, beaming each time.

Cameron also enjoyed many other activities such as camping, fishing, playing video games and Nerf wars with his sons and nephews, attending his son’s football games, and anything outdoorsy.

He had found a passion for welding and was excelling at pipe-fitting and plumbing. He had been accepted to an apprenticeship program through the Utah Career Center program. He showed pride in all his accomplishments and often boasted about the work he was able to complete. He was well liked and respected in the field by coworkers and other tradesmen with the UA Local 140 Union. He was also a skilled mechanic and loved tinkering with cars.

Cameron loved to make people laugh, he loved to see people happy, and he had difficulty with any strife or conflict. He may have seemed tough on the outside but his soul was not made for battle and he held so much in.

Despite the immense love and support of family and friends, despite his successes, despite all the good in his life, despite his desire to live, despite his potential to do anything in life, the craving that comes from true addiction was more than Cameron could overcome.

Cameron fought hard, experiencing periods of inspiring recovery, but in the end he couldn’t overcome addiction.

Cameron and his family navigated a difficult journey with addiction, a battle fought with immense strength and bravery that many never knew the full extent of. Despite the challenges,

Cameron remained a person deserving of compassion and understanding. To honor Cameron’s life, we want to remind everyone who is struggling with addiction, addicts and their families - you are not alone and you are so loved. It is never too late to ask for help, never use alone, and always carry naloxone.

Cameron is survived by his loving wife Britany, sons Ryder, Lesley, and Axel, parents, David and Janelle Wachter and Dondra and Roy Reyes, sisters, Celina (Amy Rangel) Reyes, Abigail (Patrick Stockseth) Nance, and nephews, Jude and Tyler Nelson. He is the cherished grandson of John and Donna Dominguez. He leaves behind aunts and uncles Jeff and Janet Wachter, Mark and Carol Wachter, Mark and Kim Dominguez, and Andrea and Jackie Dominguez, and a host of cousins and others loving family members.

He was preceded in death by one brother, Tylan Joseph Reyes and several grandparents.
