PETER G.C. CAMPBELL

In Loving Memory of Peter G.C. Campbell. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Peter Campbell, who left us on January 30, 2025, shortly after being diagnosed with ALS and experiencing a rapid decline. Peter is survived by his wife, Barbara Campbell (née Kelly); his children, Kimberley, Andrew (Kyoko), and Owen (Stephanie); his brothers, Douglas and Robert; sister, Elspeth; his grandchildren, Amelia, Kian and Veronika; along with several nephews, nieces and extended family. Born on May 4, 1943, Peter was not just a devoted husband, father, grandfather and uncle; he was a trailblazer in his scientific field. As a professor at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Université du Québec) for almost 50 years, Peter was a renowned pioneer in biogeochemistry and ecotoxicology of metals in aquatic environments. Beyond his impressive professional accomplishments, Peter was an avid athlete, always with a touch of competitive spirit! He instilled his values in his children and grandchildren, encouraging them to travel and to be curious about the world around them. Known for his kindness, integrity, and compassion, Peter had a brilliant mind and a kind soul that touched many lives. His life mattered, inspired and elevated those around him. He will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, Peter asked that donations be made to either the ALS Quebec's research fund (www.imakeanonlinedonation.org/slaquebec/RECHERCHESLA/) or to Médecins Sans Frontières (www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/).
