Kameron Haban

Our beloved Kameron, 29, was called home to the arms of our Heavenly Father on Aug. 19, 2009, in Tucson after a six-week struggle with lupus at the Tucson Medical Center.

Kameron was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on July 8, 1980. Kameron lived with his family in Hawaii, California and Japan before settling in Sierra Vista when he was 15. He attended MC Perry School in Japan, and he excelled in academics and athletics. He especially enjoyed playing and coaching baseball and softball.

Kameron Haban

From 1999 to 2001, he served an LDS mission in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where he grew to love the people and was dedicated to sharing the Gospel with them. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Kameron held many callings in the church. He served as Elders Quorum president of his college ward, as a Young Men’s Presidency member, a Sunday School teacher, Primary teacher, Scout leader, Seminary teacher and was an Eagle Scout.

After graduating from Buena High School in 1998, Kameron left home to attend college at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher, where he met the love of his life, Jamilyn (Davies) Haban, in 2003.

They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona Temple on June 25, 2004. Kameron always put Jami first and loves her more than anything. Kameron loves his son, Kason, and worked hard to provide him with the very best. He and Kason were best buds and were often found spending all their extra time together. Kason was his pride and joy, and Kameron was the best daddy to Kason.

Kameron was happiest when spending time with his wife, son and family. He enjoyed spending time out of doors, especially if it involved hunting or playing sports. Baseball was a huge part of Kameron’s life, and he enjoyed teaching his son how to play. He could often be found in the kitchen and enjoyed cooking and baking for his family.

Kameron was not one to sit still and do nothing. He was a hard worker and was constantly thinking of ways to serve and help others. He always put others’ needs before his own. Kameron’s smile was contagious and could light up a room. He had such a great love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and strived to live it faithfully each day. He was an amazing husband, father, son, brother and friend. Many lives have been touched by the love and compassion of Kameron. We love you, Kam. You will be greatly missed by many, and we anxiously await our reunion with you.

Kameron is survived by his wife, Jamilyn Haban, and his 2-year-old son, Kason Alexander Haban; his mother and father, Arthur and Elena Haben; two brothers, Matthew and Daniel Haban; his grandparents, Alejandro (Mary) Haban, Irene Pascua and Roseline Dimaya.

Funeral services will be Friday, Aug. 28, at 10 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2100 East Yaqui Street, Sierra Vista. Concluding services will follow at 2 p.m. at the Central Cemetery in Central.
