William David Camp, of Panama City, passed away on Friday,

May 21, 2021, knowing that he was loved by his whole family,

friends and community. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia to C.D.

& Irene Camp and moved with his family in 1947 to St. Andrews

where his father bought a motel. His family joined St. Andrews

Baptist Church within weeks of their arrival, and the church was

an important part of his life. Bill met his future wife,

Ann, through the church, and they celebrated their 66th

anniversary last June. He was a respected, decorated Air Force

veteran of 20 years, with tours in England, Germany, Vietnam

and Turkey as well as stateside. Upon his return to Panama City,

he opened Camp's Roofing which he operated until retirement.

Bill had a vast knowledge of almost everything from computers,

and cars to appliances, and he was always ready to use his skills

and time to help any who needed him. He was a natural

storyteller who kept his listeners laughing. His legendary tales at

family gatherings and the Annual Riverfront Expedition Group

will continue to amuse everyone, and all who had the fortune

of knowing Bill are richer for having him in our lives.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Charles

Camp. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Ann Camp; four

children, Steve Camp (Deborah), Terry Camp (MarthaCarol),

Pam Mercer, Greg Camp (Pam), seven grandchildren, Brittany

Rogers (John), Cara Brashier (Andrew), Amy Loria (Steven),

Megan Cravatt (Jerry), Blake Mercer, Lori Mercer, Julia Camp;

nine great grandchildren; and two sisters, Sheila Olmstead

(Charlie), Sue Coker (Jimmy), and beloved nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends at Wilson Funeral Home on

Thursday, May 27, 2021 from 6-7 p.m. with a service to be held at 7 p.m.

Graveside services will be held on Friday, May 28, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. in

the Barrancas National Cemetery, Pensacola, FL. In lieu of flowers, the family

requests that memorial donations be made to Covenant Hospice,

107 W. 19th Street, Panama City, FL 32405 in memory of William David Camp.
