Cameron Craig Splinter, age 37, of East Dubuque, IL, passed away on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at Mercy Hospital in Dubuque, IA.

Cameron fought a lifelong battle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, exhibiting never-ending strength and courage throughout his journey. He touched the hearts of those around him with his constant selflessness, humility, and tenacious ability to endure. Family and friends alike will remember his quick wit and satirical sense of humor; he could always find the joke in any situation, regardless of the challenges or roadblocks in his way.

Cameron had a passion for entertainment and trivia. He was a movie buff and music guru who loved all genres.  He shared a special appreciation for “wrastlin” with his Grandpa DeWayne. He was an avid race fan and spent many of his weekends at Tri-State Raceway cheering on all of Team Earlville.  His opinions were spirited and infectious, molded of life experiences with deep intellect.

Cameron is survived by his mother, Jayne (Randy) Temperley; father, David (Helen) Splinter; brother Sheldon (Angie) Splinter; lifelong best-friend Jordan (Carrie) Droessler, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ed (Dorothy) Splinter and DeWayne (Verval) Sampson.

An open visitation will be held at Miller Funeral Home in East Dubuque on Friday, November 8, from 9:00 to 12:00PM. A worship service will be held for family and friends immediately following.

The family would like to give special thanks to the medical staffs at Mercy Hospital in Dubuque and University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City for their continued support and care over the years.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Cameron Splinter Memorial Fund. Donations will be made on Cameron’s behalf to the Muscular Dystrophy Association: https://mda.donordrive.com/campaign/Cameron–Cam–Splinter-Memorial-Fund (or directly to the immediate family).

A special note for those who knew Cameron well…While we feel a hole is left in our hearts, know that he remained himself to the very end. Take solace knowing he’s earned his front-row place in Heaven and is enjoying everything he’s been without.
