Share Obituary:
Dwane Stevens Camp, 66 of Queen Creek, AZ, was called to heaven on March 28, 2024.
Dwane is survived by his partner, of 23 years, Marietta Harris, his son and daughter-in-law, Dwane Camp, Jr and Adria Camp and his daughter, Danyce Camp. Brothers, Wilbert (Terri), Orlando (Rochelle), Richard (Kay), Larry (Linda).
Dwane Stevens Camp was born in San Francisco, California on January 8, 1958, to Wilbert Camp and Christabelle Robinson. He entered the world as the last of five boys. They were their parent’s world and were named as such: Wilbert, Orlando, Richard, Larry and Dwane.
He graduated from Lowell High School in San Francisco. He continued to University of San Francisco and got his degree in Electrical Engineering and a degree in Computer Science from National University.
Dwane’s career was in the Tech industry in Silicon Valley, and as Director of Technology at several school districts in the Bay Area. He retired and moved to Queen Creek, Arizona in 2017. He and Marietta found a great community of friends in their new home.
Basketball and music were his main passions, until recently when he discovered the game of Pickleball. As someone once said, Dwane likes anything that is fast (cars and motorcycles) or has keys (piano and computers).
Dwane leaves behind a wealth of family and friends that will miss his smile, laugh and kind soul. He will forever be in our hearts.
A Celebration of life will be held in Queen Creek and Sacramento, CA.

Richard and Jordan says: We’ve not known Dwane Camp Sr for long or well, but judging by the quality of his son, whom we are honored to call a friend, he was unequivocally a great person and an even greater father. He leaves an indelible legacy, as testified by the deep mourning of his loved ones. Rest in peace. “His lord said to him ‘well done my good and faithful servant’”

Gone way too soon. You will be missed. My heartfelt admiration to Marietta for being a true soulmate and caregiver. To Jr. and Danyce, may you feel the love of your dad each and every day and cry happy tears. Mommy loves you!

I have known Dwane for 40yrs. Most of my adult life. Although we are not related he was like a brother who changed the course of my life. When I was deciding on where to begin my career after university, my cousin Linda introduced me to her beloved brother in law, who acted as an ambassador for the beauty and diversity of his beloved home city of San Francisco and the Bay Area. He became a life long friend, confidant, fellow basketball fan and car enthusiast. Our families remained close and celebrated many milestones together. I will miss him and will always be thankful for his friendship and good humor. My sincere condolences. Much love to the family.

I did not know Mr. Camp but I know his son Dwane, Jr. by his work helping seniors and people with disabilities through the California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA). There is no greater gift to the world than to raise a child to become a man dedicated to benefiting others and easing the pain and suffering of millions of people. So, thank you Senior for your gift of Junior to this world. We are in your debt.
