Ernest Joseph Cameron, born March 2, 1951, a lifelong resident of Kiln, Mississippi passed away peacefully on March 28, 2024 at home surrounded by the love of his family. His 73 years were marked by a deep passion for life and generosity that touched everyone he met. His unwavering faith guided him through life, and those who knew Ernest will remember a man rich in kindness, eager to lend a helping hand. He never hesitated to help those in need.
