Larry "Gene" Cameron, age 76, of Washington passed away on April 12, 2023 at the Veteran's Hospital in Oklahoma City. Gene was the 11th of 13th children born to Ballard Roy Cameron and Verna Lee (Burrow) Cameron. He was raised in Mustang where he attended school. He was drafted into the United States Army and served his country proudly in Vietnam. Gene was a true patriot, and served in the National Guard for many years after active duty. Gene was a standout basketball player in school, and continued to play throughout life. At one time, he played semi pro ball for a time. By chance, he met young lady named Cecilia Sue Fixico. They were introduced by family, and the rest as they say is history. Gene and Cecilia were married on August 9, 1965 in Norman. They made their home in Cole where they raised two sons, Brian and Darryl. A brick mason by trade, Gene worked for more than 42 years, and mostly for Kern Jervis. Gene worked hard, loved listening to music, eating good food and sipping on a cold beer. Despite many challenges in life, Gene pushed through and overcome them all. He will be dearly missed!
