Ewell Camp, Jr. joined his Lord on Saturday, September 9, 2017. He is 
survived by his wife of sixty nine years, Louise Carter Camp. He was a 
beloved uncle to Bert Collins, Jr. and his wife, Kay, of Crossett, Arkansas; 
Ann Nelson and her husband, Jim, of Bethesda, Maryland; and Larraine Lewis 
and her husband, David, of Plano, Texas. Ewell was also a loving cousin to 
Roger Camp and his wife, Pam; Jeff Camp and his wife, Debra; and John Camp 
and his wife, Sherry, all of Calhoun, Louisiana, as well as many other Camp 
cousins, too numerous to list.

Born in Ouachita Parish on March 26, 1925, Ewell was the only child of Ewell 
and Carrie Belle Camp.

Ewell was a veteran of WWII, serving in the U.S. Navy Seabees in the 
Southwest Pacific. Returning from the Pacific, his Liberty ship sunk in the 
vicinity of San Francisco and he was rescued.

After serving his country, Ewell returned to West Monroe, where he met 
Louise Carter while she was in nursing school at St. Francis Hospital. They 
were married on November 15, 1947, and built a home on family land on what 
is now Camp Road, where they lived their entire marriage. God did not bless 
them with children, but they "adopted" many young people they knew, and as 
those people grew up and had children, they considered those their 
grandchildren.

Ewell started his career in heavy equipment repair and later worked as a 
field technician for the gas industry until his retirement.

Ewell was a member of the Cattlemen's Association and enjoyed raising cattle 
and traveling abroad with that group.

He was a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Calhoun, and he epitomized 
Christ's command to "love your neighbor." He was known for his loving care 
and generosity to the many people who came into his life.

Pallbearers will be Brad Camp, Jeff Camp, Roger Camp, Ronald Camp, David 
Lewis, Jim Nelson, Eric Harbison, and John Wallace.

Honorary pallbearers are John Camp, Ryan Camp, Richard Camp, Ralph Camp, 
Eric Harbison, and John Wallace.
