OBITUARY
Cameron
Owen Zimmerman-Randle
December 8, 1983 - November 23, 2017
Cameron Owen Zimmerman-Randle was tragically taken from this
world early Thanksgiving morning, November 23, 2017. He died
doing what he loved, riding his bike. Cameron was born at
Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center on December 8, 1983 in Waco,
Texas to Cynthia Randle Stephenson and Ervin Randle. He was a
lover of books, music, old movies and mostly of his wife,
Lindsey.
Cameron grew up in North Texas and spent several years in Tampa,
Florida while his father played in the NFL. He attended games
with his mother and while he had the DNA and size for football
he found his passion in books. A love fostered by his mother
from a young age, Cameron was an intellectual, a lover of
classic movies with quirky plots and unforeseeable endings.
He attended Allen High School for four years before graduating
from R.L Turner High School in 2002 after moving to Irving,
Texas. In March of 2003, Cameron joined the Army and served in
South Korea and Egypt before he was honorably discharged at Ft.
Lee, Virginia in March of 2007. After serving in the military,
Cameron returned to Texas and spent time working and in his
words “existing” until he met the love of his life, his lady
friend, his Danger Girl, his soulmate, Lindsey. After first
meeting in middle school, fate brought them together again on
October 30, 2010. Cameron got her attention with his smile and
infectious charm. His authenticity won her trust and her heart.
He made her laugh, wiped her tears, held her up and together
they celebrated their biggest achievements. Cameron
spontaneously asked her to form an alliance on November 11,
2011; she pulled a ring from her purse and said yes.
In 2012 they moved to Corpus Christi to attend college. It was
here that Cameron began his love affair with cycling. On
December 28, 2013, Cameron and Lindsey were married in McKinney,
Texas. Upon returning to Corpus Christi, Cameron earned his B.A
in History with a minor in Journalism from Texas A&M Corpus
Christi. Following graduation, they moved to North Texas
eventually settling in Wylie. Cameron began working at The
University of Texas at Dallas in the fall of 2015. He reveled in
his job as a Librarian Assistant III and was soon promoted to a
Librarian Assistant IV, Supervisor.
Cameron’s love of books supplied him with an expansive knowledge
from physics to making Lindsey the perfect oatmeal. He was
beloved, cherished and irreplaceable.

Zimmerman-Randle of Wylie and their fur-babies, Noni and Sadie;
