Joe Curtis Camp, 78, passed away on Thursday, December 25, 2025.  He was born in Smithville to the late Henry F. Camp and Edith Cole Camp.  Joe married FelissaFunderburk and together they had a wonderful marriage.  If you knew Joe, you knew that he was a man of deep faith and conviction.  It was his faith that was guide for his life.  Joe served as pastor of New Life Tabernacle for over 35 years and with only a 6th grade education, he taught himself to read and how to study the Bible.  Joe's greatest joy was to share the love of Christ to all he seen.  He enjoyed mission trips and had a heart for children.  He and Felissa gave many children a home and adopted many in need.  Joe could always be counted on to anyone in need and helped his fellow neighbor every chance he got.  He also worked as a janitor and carpenter, building a home for his family and several churches.  When he had time, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, gardening and driving his tractor.  Joe was a devoted family man and will be remembered for his unwavering faith and commitment to God.
