Tragic Accident in Bassett VA

Camden “Cam” William Trail, 14, of Bassett, Virginia, transitioned to his heavenly home Saturday, June 7, 2025.  He was born April 6, 2011, in Roanoke, Virginia to Calvin William “C.W.” Trail and Stephanie Lenviel Trail.  

He is preceded in death by his five siblings; maternal grandmother, Helen Pegram; paternal grandmother, Alice Josephine Lovins;  paternal grandfather, Calvin Green Trail; and Lydia Pegram.

Cam was a young man who lived life to the absolute fullest. He enjoyed anything and everything outdoors, camping, riding wheelies on his mountain bike, riding jet skis as well as the tube behind it. Cam loved just about anything with a motor, especially his dirt bikes. He was a loved young man that had an infectious smile to everyone in his life. Cam loved his friends dearly and cherished every moment he had with them. He loved to dance, and he absolutely “flossed like a boss”. Chick-fil-A and Cookout were some of his favorite places to eat, but Cookout took the cake. He was an extremely hard worker, excelled in school, and cherished all of his work. He even owned and operated his own business, Cam’s Lawn Care. 

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his aunts, Susie Atkins (Jerry), Carolyn Puckett (Carl), Melinda Reel (David), Donna Trail (Rodney “Cupcake”), Lynn Scott (Brian); uncles, Coy Lawson, Andy Lenviel, and Joey Lenviel (Leah); maternal grandfather, Joe Lenviel; best friends, Morgan Doss, Jeremiah Powell, Gennaro Palumbo, Anthony Ray, and Jameer Taylor.  

The funeral will be held Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 7:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Bassett with Pastor J.D. Walker officiating.  The family will receive friends beginning at 5:30, prior to the service. Interment will be private at Philpott Dam Road Cemetery.  

Wright Funeral Service & Crematory is serving the family.
