Family says final goodbyes to Cameron Robbins, teen baseball star lost at sea trends now

Family and friends of Cameron Robbins, the Louisiana teen believed to be dead after going overboard on a cruise in the Bahamas, said their final goodbyes to the recent high school graduate at a private service on Sunday.

The service was held at the Broadmoor United Methodist church in Baton Rouge, where family and friends dressed in black were seen entering the church and gathering outside in mourning.

Groups of teenagers, likely Robbins' fellow high school classmates, were seen outside the church hugging, crying, and comforting one another in the wake of the tragedy that has rocked the community.

Spotted among the mourners were Robbins' immediate family, including his mother Shari, father Will, brother Cole and sister Cassie. Robbins' father, and his cousin Charlie Robbins, were listed on the funeral program as those delivering eulogies.

His parents described their eighteen-year-old as 'intense and driven,' in addition to being a 'beloved grandson, son, brother and friend.'

'Though he left this world far too soon, he lived a life full of good friends and family. He was funny and kind-hearted, but also intense and driven. He doted on his grandparents and he took pride in his work.

'He will be missed desperately by his family and friends, who will carry their cherished memories of him to eternity.'

On Saturday, Robbins' parents told the Post that they are still trying to comprehend the tragedy, which was caught on tape.

'We are just mourning our son right now,' said Shar. 'We appreciate you calling. Maybe we will be able to talk more later,' she told the outlet.

Robbins disappeared after jumping overboard while on a booze cruise with his classmates in the Bahamas. It is unclear what happened to him, but following a two-day search, he was ultimately designated 'lost at sea,' which is equivalent to a death certificate. 

Prior to leaving for the Bahamas to join his classmates, Robbins had been on a weekend fishing trip on the Louisiana Gulf Coast with his father and brother celebrating his May 21st high school graduation.

Robbins, considered a standout baseball player, had been on the island for mere hours before he joined the party cruise - Blackbeard's Revenge - alongside dozens of recent graduates.
