James Ross (Jim) Campbell

On December 18, 2020, James Ross (Jim) Campbell, 74, went peacefully home to the Lord as a result of complications related to Frontotemporal Dementia. He had been a resident of Park Place Care Center of Georgetown Texas for the past ten months. He leaves his wife of 53 years, Deanna (Cathey) Campbell; their children, Sarah Morgan and family of Georgetown, Texas and Jason Campbell and family of Mesquite, Texas. He was blessed with 13 grandchildren. Jim is also survived by his five siblings: Freda Jones and family of Seminole, Texas, Gene Campbell and family of Abilene, Texas, Charles Campbell and family of Jasper, Texas, Brenda Jones and family of San Antonio, Texas and Cynthia Bice and family of Olathe, Kansas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ross and Willa Dean Campbell of Brownfield, Texas. James was born on January 1, 1946. He loved to brag about being the first baby born in San Angelo, Texas that year. He and Deanna graduated from Brownfield School in 1964. They were married May 6, 1967. After 10 years of service in the Army, attaining the rank of Captain and one tour in Vietnam, the family moved to Seminole, Texas. Over the next 22 years, he and other family members owned two small businesses related to farming. He enjoyed serving his customers. Nothing made Jim happier than walking through the cotton or peanut fields on his small farm. James enjoyed golfing, manicuring his yard, woodworking and twirling around the dance floor with Deanna. In Georgetown, he made many wonderful friends as he improved his pool playing skills. In 2012 he and Deanna moved to Sun City, Georgetown where he was a member of the Billiards Club and The Worship Place. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts be made to The Worship Place Building Fund, 811 Sun City Boulevard, Georgetown, Texas, 78633. A graveside service is planned for a later date, in 2021. Jim will be laid to rest in the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery, 11463 State Highway 195, Killeen, Texas.
