Cameron Michael Frisone, obituary
ROCKLAND — Cameron Michael ‘Cam’ Frisone, was born on the first day of spring March 20, 2009. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side February 28, 2025. Although he battled cancer, it did not define who Cameron was. He was a loving son, brother, and friend. His kindness, quiet wry sense of humor, determination and out and out silliness will be forever imprinted on the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
To know and spend time with Cameron was a true gift. Cameron will be remembered for his inner drive to give his all in life, working hard, and never giving up. No matter the circumstance, Cameron sought to bring joy, laughter, and kindness into peoples lives. He enjoyed mixed martial arts, soccer, baseball, golf, and snowboarding. You would often find Cameron in nature or at his bunk house on the lake, building, working the land, fishing or on a boat. He had a love for art and music, finding peace in drawing and playing his guitar. Cameron loved animals, especially dogs, most notably his best friend Bella.
He leaves behind to carry on his memory, his parents, Michael and Erin Stevens Frisone; his brothers, Dominic and Vincent Frisone; his maternal grandparents, James and Maureen Stevens; his great-grandmother Mary Jane Flynn; his uncles and aunts, Brooks and Lynda Stevens, Ian and Nicki Stevens, Christopher Frisone; as well as cousins who were raised by his side like siblings, Gracie and Charlotte Stevens and Nathan Stevens and Samara Jackamino and several aunts, uncles, cousins; his best friend, Braeden Toothaker, and his entire Oceanside High School Family
He was predeceased by his maternal great-grandparents, Charlie and Marion Stevens; maternal great-grandfather, William Flynn; paternal great-grandmother, Carolina Frisone; paternal grandparents, Giulio and Janice Frisone; his uncle Nathan Stevens; as well as several other great-grandparents.
We’ll miss you Eddie.
The Frisone family has been profoundly touched by the incredible outpouring of love and support throughout Cam's courageous journey with cancer. During the most challenging moments of his illness, the community's compassion provided them with precious time to be by his side, offering comfort and strength when they needed it most.
Even in his most difficult days, Cam embodied the true spirit of generosity. His remarkable character shone through as he remained focused on others, even while facing his own profound challenges. With unwavering hope and selflessness, Cam envisioned a lasting way to support families experiencing similar struggles.
The Cameron Frisone Cancer Fund (CF2) was born from his deeply held belief that no family should face the cancer journey alone. This foundation represents more than a memorial—it is a living testament to Cam's compassion, designed to provide critical support to children and families battling cancer in the Midcoast area.

Cancer is a journey that touches countless lives, weaving a complex tapestry of love, resilience, and community support. Cameron's path was no exception – a testament to the incredible network of compassion that emerges during life's most challenging moments.
While no words could ever fully express the depth of our gratitude, we wish to acknowledge the remarkable organizations and healthcare providers who became our lifeline during this profound journey:
The Maine Children's Cancer Program stood beside us with unwavering dedication, providing expert medical care and compassionate support that went far beyond clinical treatment.
Barbara Bush Children's Hospital became a second home, offering not just medical expertise, but moments of kindness that brought light to our darkest days.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia represented hope when we needed it most, their innovative approaches and dedicated professionals fighting alongside our family.
Dana Farber and Boston Children's Hospital exemplified medical excellence, combining cutting-edge research with deeply human care.
The Dempsey Center provided crucial emotional support, understanding that healing encompasses more than medical interventions.
Make-A-Wish of Maine reminded us of the power of joy and dreams, even in the most challenging circumstances.
To honor Cameron's memory and support others facing similar challenges, we invite you to consider becoming a supporter of these incredible organizations. Each contribution is a beacon of hope, a lifeline for families navigating the complex landscape of pediatric cancer.
The blessing of Cameron's presence in our lives defies what words alone can express. "We love you" feels too simple to capture the profound space he occupied in our hearts. "Thank you" cannot fully convey our overwhelming gratitude to everyone who has surrounded us with compassion and strength during this time. His memory will continue to guide us, comfort us, and remind us of life's most precious gifts. We carry him with us always.
A private burial will be held in the spring. To view a recording of Cameron’s Mass of Christian burial and to continue sharing your stories and thoughts about Cam with us please visit his Book of Memories at www.bchfh.com.
