Born in Holyoke on October 27, 1955, he was the son of Maurice and Claire (Gagnon) Campbell.

For the past 30 years, Ron lived with his long-term care provider, Tom Joyce, in Amherst. He enjoyed boating, flying in small planes, riding his tandem recumbent bicycle, and being in the great outdoors.
Ron leaves his: sister Cheryl Campbell and her husband James Levine of Granby, MA; brother John Campbell and his wife Tracy Campbell of RI; brother Scott Campbell in Zambia, Southern Africa; brother Mark Campbell and his wife Catherine Campbell of RI; and seven nieces and nephews.
