Obituary for Cameron James Trosclair
Cameron James Trosclair, 26, a native of Houma and long-time resident of Bourg and most recently a resident of Alexandria, died suddenly on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
A memorial service will be scheduled in Houma at a later date.
Cameron is survived by his parents, James and Cally Trosclair; his sisters, Jamie and Chloe Trosclair; his maternal grandmother, Debbie Yelverton; his paternal grandparents, Glen and Suzie Usie; his “nanny,” Angelle Percle; his godfather/uncle, Benjamin Yelverton; his aunt, Shanna Porche; and numerous cousins and other relatives.
He is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Robert Yelverton; his maternal great-grandparents, Gene and Dolores Ventura and Irene Arceneaux Meadows; and paternal great-grandparents, Charles and Rita Gault.
Diagnosed with microcephaly and cerebral palsy when he was four months old, Cameron’s life was always special. His entire support system of family and friends made sure that he was given a voice and included in anything he could possibly do! He spent 18 years attending the School for Exceptional Children in Houma and two years attending day-hab and respite at TerrbonneARC. COVID and Hurricane Ida limited services in Houma to Cameron, so he found a new home and daily activities at Central Louisiana Supports and Services Center in Alexandria in 2022.
Cameron loved spending time with his family, listening to the music of Zac Brown Band, celebrating and singing along anytime someone had a birthday, laughing at the silly things his dad would do to make him smile, attending his sisters’ performances, and hearing his PeePaw sing to him. He brought a smile to most of those he met, and if you could make him laugh out loud, the sound would light up an entire room. We were all so lucky to have had him in our lives.
His family would like to thank all of those who helped to take care of him throughout his life, and there are just too many to name: numerous home-bound caregivers, teachers and staff at SEC and TerrebonneARC, nurses and doctors at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans and Ochsner/St. Anne in Raceland, and especially the staff at Central Louisiana Supports and Services Center in Alexandria.
