1936 – 2023
Noah H. Camero was born February 24, 1936, in San Antonio, Texas, to Julian and Felipa Hernandez Camero. He passed away June 30 at age 87.
A graduate of Spring Vale Academy, Noah entered the ministry in 1954 at age 19. He married Belinia Guzman in 1955, and they had eight children. The Cameros pastored churches in Saginaw, Michigan; Alfred, North Dakota; Saint Paul, Minnesota; and Bloomington, California.
While in Saint Paul, Noah formed the Saint Paul Trio, a group of talented musicians that included himself, Gilbert Sanchez, and Daniel Camero. They sang and played at churches and retreats throughout the Midwest. Noah also had a local Spanish radio program in Saint Paul.
From 1967 to 1970 Noah served as editor of the Bible Advocate in Stanberry, Missouri. Once the Cameros moved to Bloomington, California, he established a local radio program there.
In his later years, Noah enjoyed writing and authored some devotional books and poems. He lived in Visalia, California, with his wife, Antoinette, and attended the Visalia church as his health allowed him to.
Noah was preceded in death by his first wife, Belinia, and son Stephen. He is survived by his wife, Antoinette; his children Nathan, Lidia (Danny), Israel, Phillip (Kristi), Rueben (Laura), Michal (Carl), and Jason (Megan); seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7, NIV).
