Max Clair Westercamp, 74, of Bonaparte, Iowa, passed away at 2:01 p.m. Monday, April 15, 2019, at the Great River Medical Center in West Burlington, Iowa.
He was born on February 23, 1945, in Van Buren County, Iowa, the son of John and Elsie (Triplett) Westercamp. After his military service, he married Gail Salyers on December 28, 1968, in Kahoka, Missouri.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother: Hubert and two sisters: Vivian Kreiss and Joyce Keller.
Max grew up on his parents’ farm near Bonaparte. He was a 1963 graduate of Harmony High School. He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War (being a veteran was of utmost importance to him). After the service, Max married his wife Gail, and purchased his first farm near Revere, Missouri. They later purchased a farm near Bonaparte, Iowa. Max’s passion was farming. He raised and sold hogs and cattle and also farmed his land. He was a member of the Bonaparte American Legion. Max enjoyed all aspects of animal husbandry, the outdoors, hunting with his family and purple martins. He placed his highest priority on his family. His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.
