Kamarion J. Shuster, 9, of Austin, Minnesota, died Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016, at his home.

Kamarion James Shuster was born March 26, 2007. He is the most loving and kind boy you would have ever met. His smile makes him unforgettable to all who know him.

Kamarion loved to spend time with his entire extended family, finding such joy in the simple things. He often could be found playing with his beloved princesses while engaged with his ever present iPad. When he was able, he loved to swim and play outside with his friends. He found great happiness in his friendships at Southgate Elementary and at home, and he never stopped missing them during all the days he was in the hospital. He made each day brighter with his unique manner and genuine heart. Kamarion overcame so many obstacles in his short life and inspired all of us to “just keep swimming.” He will forever be part of our hearts and we will always hold our Kamarion memories with tenderness and love.

Kamarion is survived by his parents: Michele and John Shuster of Austin; siblings: Cory Shuster (Abby Evenson), Logan and Alyssa Shuster, Mikayla Shuster (Dakota Johnson); niece and nephew: Ezrya Shuster and Kayson Shuster; aunts and uncles: Danny and Buffy Shuster of Philadelphia, Joel and Ronda Shuster of Sun River, Oregon, Kristin and Patrick Freer of Seattle, Gretchen and Greg Eldridge of Medina, Ohio, Shannon and Derrick Orman of Kasson, Minnesota, Todd and Pilar Gibson of Rochester, Minnesota; grandparents: Rick and Jeannine Shuster of Reno, Nevada; Annette and Tom Hart of Bend, Oregon; Darcy Gibson of Phoenix; and many, many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his great grandma Fern Olson and grandpa David Gibson
