A private family graveside service will be held prior in the LaCrosse Cemetery. Viewing will be at Bruning Funeral Home on Tuesday, May 29 ^th , from 9 to 5. Dee was the youngest of three children to grow up on the Camp family farm. He was born February 15, 1939 in Colfax to Herbert and Louise Fields Camp. He attended school in LaCrosse and was an excellent basketball player for the high school team. Dee graduated in 1957 and attended Washington State University in Pullman for a short time. He married Annette Summers on August 27, 1960. They made their home on the ranch near LaCrosse where they raised wheat, cattle and horses. Dee and Annette had two daughters, Jody and Jamie. Dee dedicated his life to taking care of his family while managing and working on the farm he loved. He always had time for family and friends and would always lend a helping hand to anyone who needed anything. Dee and Annette divorced August 29, 1969. He then married Lois Moore Fleming on June 20, 1972. She had three boys and when the family blended together the farmhouse suddenly was never a quiet place again. Dee would spend many afternoons watching the kids play sports, driving the boat while 5 kids learned to water-ski at Riparia or playing flag football in the front yard. In later years, he found great pleasure in watching the grandkids and all that they did. Lois passed away August 21, 2006. Dee was still living on the farm at the time of his death. He will be missed by many in the community; but especially by his two daughters; Jody Colletto of Bremerton, WA, Jamie Camp (TJ) of Moses Lake; his three step-sons; Gary (Donna) Fleming of LaCrosse, Darrin (RaeAnn) Fleming, Ritzville, and Loren (Melissa) Fleming also of LaCrosse; his grandchildren, of whom he was so proud, Jacob Hash, Jake Fleming, Cayla Smith, Della, Anne, Nick, Avery and Brody Fleming; and a very special great-granddaughter, Violet Hash. In addition to his wife, Lois, Dee was preceded in death by his brother Larry Camp, his sister, Sherry Lange and his parents. The family suggests memorial gifts in his memory go to the LaCrosse EMT's or the Whitman Hospital Foundation.
