Daniel Rickard Camp

July 22, 1994 - December 3, 2018

Daniel Rickard Camp departed from this world at age 24, on December 3, 2018, and in doing so, leaves an enormous hole in the many lives of those who loved him. Daniel had the kind of infectious smile that could light an entire household. No matter how well you knew him, the moment he walked into a room, he made you feel as if your best friend had just arrived, and he was that friend. At a height of 6’6, our gentle giant towered over everyone, his presence and spirit undeniably large. The family’s second child, and only boy, Daniel was born July 22, 1994 in Payson, Utah to Jennifer and Rick Camp. He was adored by his older sister, Erin, and idolized by his younger sisters, Alyssa and Lindsay. Daniel grew up in Pleasant Grove, Utah, where he attended Manila elementary, and Pleasant Grove junior high, eventually graduating from Pleasant Grove high school in 2012. He was active in scouts, achieving the rank of Eagle, and was involved in several school plays, as well as the acapella choir. Following high school, he went on to attend Snow College and Utah Valley University, working along the way at the Pleasant Grove pool, Alpine Credit Union, and Solcius. His interests included gaming, sports, sitting in hot-tubs with friends, riding a four-wheeler in the mountains, weight lifting, fishing, shooting, and playing the guitar. Most of all, he loved teasing his sisters, and attending BYU games with his dad. Daniel loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and had a strong testimony of the Atonement. He was called to serve in the North Carolina, Charlotte, Mission, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also has served in numerous Church callings including Ward Missionary. He leaves behind his parents, Jennifer and Rick Camp; sisters, Erin (Levi) Anderson, Alyssa (Nelson) Chamberlain, and Lindsay Camp; nieces and nephews, Aislyn, Drew, Chance, and Saige; and his grandmother, Peggy Camp. Daniel is re-united with his grandfather, Bud Camp, and grandparents, Kay and Carol Giles, in the afterlife.
