BUHLER, Kan. — Buhler USD 313 Superintendent Cindy Couchman posted on social media Monday about an accident involving long-time Buhler faculty members Don and Susan Cameron.

Saturday about 5:30 p.m., Don and Susan Cameron were involved in a car accident in Lenexa. Susan died at the scene and Don was hospitalized with some critical injuries.

Please keep the Cameron's in your prayers as Don recovers and the family struggles to process the sudden death of their mom and grandma. Susan taught 1st grade at Union Valley before retiring.

Don (also known as DC) was an administrator and head boys basketball coach at Buhler High. Their children, Aubrey, Chris, Brandon and Brooke, all graduated from Buhler. Susan had big ties to Buhler as Susan is Bob Burkholder's daughter.

Burkholder Administrative Center is named after Bob, who was a long-time superintendent in Buhler. Both Susan and Don touched countless lives in our community. Please join us in lifting up the family in prayer as they process this tragic death and pray for Don’s full recovery.

Once the family has more information on Don’s recovery timeline, a funeral day/time will be set.  More information is available here.
