Beyond When the old life ends and my new life begins,

And I’m free of my shackles and bonds, My spirit will soar, Like the cold north wind roars,

As I leave this body behind. When my soul reaches the heights of the great Northern Lights,

I will pause to look just one more time— At family and friends and the pains of young men

As they struggle to carry life on. But don’t cry for me, my spirit is free,

And I am dying I must do alone. Life has been sweet. So rejoice when you think,

My soul has only gone home! Q.T. Edwards, Jr.

Following the Interment.

Samuel Campbell was born in Mount Pleasant (Gadsden County), Florida on April 8, 1939, to the union of James and Lillie Campbell. He was a member of Oak Grove AME Church in Mount Pleasant (Gadsden County), Florida where he was baptized into the faith at an early age. Samuel was blessed to have loving parents that instilled the deep rooted values of faith and to be of service to others early in life. God further blessed Samuel with the ‘gifts’ of love of fellowship and conversation. As he grew older, his ‘gifts’ of service, love of fellowship, and conversation further developed, and as a man he became an even better humanitarian that used his ‘gifts’ to plant good seeds in fellowship with each act of service and every conversation. More importantly, Samuel ensured that each conversations was planted with these three instructions; (1) Duty-Bound, (2) Stay Strong, and (3) Stay Prayerful. He attended Carter-Parramore High School in Quincy, Florida and graduated in 1957. After graduation, he moved to Cincinnati and worked Queen City Barrel and Roadway, thereafter, he met, fell in love, and married Rose Brown. Samuel deeply loved his family, and was “Papa-Dad-Uncle-Brother-Nephew, Cousin, Friend” to all. He welcomed everyone with a warm smile, and an earnest desire to ensure a good seed was planted at goodbye. In essence, Samuel embodied God's desire for us to be in fellowship with one another and harvest good fruit, and he would give his last without blinking an eye. His love of fellowship which included his ‘famous’ long conversations and good seeds, will greatly be missed. On Thursday, September 24, 2015, Samuel was called home to be with the Lord.

Samuel leaves to cherish in his memory his loving wife, Rose Campbell, his beloved children Samuel C. Campbell & Sonda Campbell (wife), Lisa Campbell, Jennifer Campbell (Punkin), Samuel Campbell, Jr. & LaTanga (Tangie) Campbell (wife), Cedric Campbell, and Dennis Campbell (honorary) & Melena Campbell (wife), loving grandchildren Dontae Moore, Christopher J. Campbell, Curtis D. Campbell, Lauren R. Campbell, and London R. Campbell, adoring great-grandchildren, Gabriella Moore and Kaidyn Moore, devoted siblings Beaver (BJ) Campbell, Cornielia Robinson, and Mary Dial, Godson, his faithful, loyal, and loving God family goddaughter, Nikki Hinesmon, great-godchildren, Jalisa Lattimore, Kiara Lattimore, and Victoria Brown, along with loyal nieces, nephews, cousins, great nephews, great nieces, great-great nephews, great-great nieces, extended family, and friends who have become his family and have been blessed by his life and conversations that always planted these good seeds…
