Mr. Donald L Campbell

He was born on Sand Mountain in Section, Ala, on March 3, 1932, and was a multi-sport athlete at nearby Jackson County High School. His skills on the football field earned him the nickname “Trippi.”

In 1950, his National Guard unit was activated as Company B, 151st Combat Engineers, and was deployed to Korea, where they built roads and bridges on the front lines of the conflict. It was one of his greatest honors to serve with the 164 officers and men of Company B.

After graduating from the University of Alabama in 1955, he spent the next 40 years working as an auditor for US Steel all over the world.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 69 years, June Luna Campbell, and grandson, Logan Brumit and is survived by his daughters: Kathy Brumit (Charlie), and Leah Martin (Gary), grandchildren: Clint Brumit (Cindy), Chelsea Burke (Randall), and Meredith Martin (Ethan Gossett), and great-grandchildren: Molly Craig Brumit, and Logan Connor Burke.

He was a devoted follower of Jesus and a member of Donelson Church of Christ, a super-fan of the University of Alabama sports teams, and an advocate for the ministry of AGAPE.

His family would like to extend their gratitude to Brook, Justin, Christina, and the staff at Kempton of Hermitage for their care during the last few months.

The family will have a celebration of life with military honors at 2:00 pm on Thursday, January 30,2025 at Donelson Church of Christ (2706 Old Lebanon Road, Nashville, Tenn. 37214) and will receive visitors from 11:00 am until the time of the service. A small Graveside service will be held Friday January 31, 2025 at 11:00am.

Members of Company B are invited to serve as honorary pallbearers and provide an honor guard at the cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts to the Don and June Campbell fund at AGAPE.
