Isaac Joel Camealy was born Thursday, August 3, 2023, and died Saturday, August 5, 2023 in Huntsville, AL. He lived for 43 beautiful hours and died peacefully in his mother’s arms at home, when he entered the glorious presence of Jesus.
He was survived by his parents, Clint William and Esther Elizabeth Camealy; his siblings, Ezekiel William, Evelyn Grace, and Caleb Eldon Camealy, all of Huntsville, AL; his grandparents, Craig and Marion Camealy of Huntsville, AL, Don Neal (Deborah) of Clinton, MS, and Cindy Cruise (James) of Clinton, MS; his aunts and uncles, Kurt Camealy (Kristina) of Galena, OH, Cory Leckrone (Andrew) of Harrisonburg, VA, Emily Knox (Steven) of Cumming, GA, and Stuart Neal (Phoenix) of Whitehall, WI; and cousins, Luke, Samuel, Abigail, and Phoebe Camealy, Anneliese, Stephen, Greta, and Cadence Leckrone, Mary Peyton, London, Graham, and Jade Knox, Autumn and Judah Neal.
Isaac received a diagnosis of Trisomy 13 (Patau’s Syndrome) at 13 weeks gestation. He proved himself to be exceptional. Over the following weeks and months of his development in utero, he confounded his medical team and gave witness to many miracles and wonders of the Lord. Through Isaac, countless prayers were answered, and the name of Jesus has been magnified. Isaac was fearfully and wonderfully made. The Lord saw his unformed body. All the days ordained for Isaac were written in His book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:13, 16). The world will forever be a better place because of the 43 miraculous hours he spent living on this earth. His legacy will continue to bless others and to be a reminder of the goodness and faithfulness of his loving God.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 10 from 6-8 p.m. at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. A private graveside service will be held at Maple Hill Cemetery on Friday, August 11, followed by a celebration of life service open to the public at 11:30am at Rivertree Church Downtown Campus (201 Marsheutz Avenue SE, Huntsville, AL 35801).
