Clinton Robert “Clint” Camp, an honored ASCE leader in Tennessee who served as Nashville Branch president and was active in his community, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 43.
His passing is felt across ASCE leadership and the broader Nashville engineering community. “Clint had a way of knowing and being known by everyone, and we are grateful to have had him as part of our group,” said Emily Reed, 2025 branch president.
“His contributions to the field were not only technical but also deeply human, reflecting his commitment to improving the world around him,” said Dustin Scruggs, who worked with Camp as owner of Prosper Engineering in Nashville.
Camp, P.E., M.ASCE, was a licensed engineer in the State of Tennessee with over 15 years of experience, focusing mainly on site design projects and urban redevelopment.
His dedication to and leadership of the Nashville Branch included terms as president, board member, sustaining membership committee chair, and endowment committee chair. He was a strong advocate for fiscal responsibility and regularly contributed ideas to improve the branch’s daily operations.
Camp also supported the branch’s younger member group, making time to meet with its leaders to discuss fundraising strategies. His commitment to the engineering community earned him recognition as Young Engineer of the Year in 2017 by both the ASCE Nashville Branch and the Tennessee Society of Professional Engineers.
He had been with Prosper Engineering since 2022 as a project engineer. From 2018 to 2022 he was a director with W&A Engineering in Nashville, and previously was a senior construction engineer and project manager with Parsons. His career began as a county engineer with Montgomery County, Tennessee.
In 2019 Camp ran for a seat on the Nashville metro council representing East Nashville’s Inglewood area. “I support funding for education, solutions for affordable housing and improvements to help our mobility – all things to help and improve our quality of life,” he wrote.
“Clint was known for his warmth, integrity, and unwavering support for his community,” Scruggs wrote in a tribute. “He was actively involved in local initiatives, advocating for education, affordable housing, and improved mobility to enhance the quality of life for all residents.”
Camp earned a master’s degree from Vanderbilt University in construction management and his bachelor’s in civil engineering from Tennessee Tech University.
More than his career, Camp was said to be most proud of being a father to Eliza Marie Camp and Samuel Edison Camp. He also enjoyed historic preservation and was passionate about BBQ and the great outdoors.
“Clint’s legacy is one of compassion, dedication, and a profound impact on those who had the privilege of knowing him,” Scruggs wrote.
