Michael Stephen Camp
November 24, 1980 - October 20, 2014
Michael Stephen Camp, age 33, died unexpectedly at his home near Denver, Colorado on Monday, October 20th, 2014, of undetermined causes.
Michael was born on November 24, 1980, in Las Vegas, Nevada where he spent his childhood. His family moved to St. George, Utah in 1991. He graduated from Snow Canyon High School in 1999 where he played varsity basketball. He later moved to Salt Lake City and then to Denver, Colorado in 2006.
He married the love of his life, Lauren McCamis, on March 18, 2007. Together, they had two children, Talon (6) and Brielle (3). His life revolved around his family. He thought himself the luckiest man in the world and would never miss an opportunity to brag about his wife and kids.
Michael was 6ft 8in and always wished that he was taller. He was a talented athlete, his first loves being baseball and then basketball. Unlike most tall players, he was proficient at every position on the court.
Michael loved the outdoors, especially fishing. He had an "Eagle eye" for spotting wildlife. He spent most of his time raising his two children and was the most amazing Daddy!
Being the second of 8 children and oldest son he always felt a responsibility to care for and protect his siblings; and this he did well. They all loved him dearly and admired him. He was 100% loyal and reliable. If he made a commitment, you could depend upon him following through. He was ridiculously honest and trustworthy.
Michael was fun and witty, a leader and a trend-setter. He was indeed unique and a powerful personality who left an impression on all he came in contact with.
Michael is survived by his wife Lauren, son, Talon (6) and daughter, Brielle (3), his parents David Camp and Elizabeth and Daniel Smith, his brothers and sisters: Erin (Kenny) Worland, Regan (Teri) Camp, Dane (Katy) Camp, Elisa (Duke) Flowers, Brian Camp, Stefanie (Shane) Long and Clara Camp, his grandmother Barbara Wyson, 6 nieces and 12 nephews and many aunts and uncles.
Michael is proceeded in death by his uncle, and name-sake, Stephen Michael Camp (Stevie), his grandparents; Joseph Wyson, Irma and Jerry Camp and his nephew, Collin Worland.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at 11:00am at the "Tithing Hill" LDS chapel – 1208 West 12400 South, Riverton, UT. Visitation will take place prior to services from 9:30-10:45.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to his wife Lauren or at gofundme.com/g5fmv8.
In Loving Memory
I would like to express my condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states "...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away". This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 - Death does not end it all. May Jehovah bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
We were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I met him at my son Shaun's wedding and was very impressed with him. He was very kind and gracious. He talked about his family and especially his kids. I could tell through our conversations he was a great father and a great man. There are no words to take away your pain but please know there are people out there praying for you and your children and hopefully that will bring you comfort. Keith and Cheryl Low
My sincere condolences to the Camp family. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God's promise to soon "swallow up death forever" and "wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) While grief at the loss of Michael is great, joy at welcoming him back in the earthly resurrection will be greater. (Mark 5;42) With deepest sympathy,
micheal is my father, i’m now 13 and he died when i was 3yrs old. not knowing how or what happened when i was little but understanding now, you would think it wouldn’t effect me but somewhere in the back of my mind the child in me remembers every second of that night. and it’s almost been 10 yrs since his death and it never gets easier. but from what i heard he was a great father and he loved me more than he could explain. i say “i don’t believe in god” but my dad makes me want to be closer with god and heaven because i know that my dad is in heaven and he is watching over me. if you knew him please contact me for stories and pictures. thanks!🤍🕊️ phone: 385-499-8261
