James "Fat Pappy" Campbell

James loved riding around while listening to the radio station 650 AM. He never met a stranger and could talk your head right off your shoulders. He spent his life working in concrete, always making sure his wife and daughter were taken care of.

He married his high school sweetheart, Kathy, and together they shared 51 wonderful years of marriage.

James loved westerns, bluegrass music, and playing cards. He was the best daddy to his daughter, Angie (Ronnie), and a proud pawpaw to his two grandchildren, Bailey and Katie. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

He lived life at his own pace, and he will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.

Per his wishes, a private family service will be held.
