Jeffrey "Jeff" Campbell

Jane, Louie and family,
My heart and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. I knew Jeff when he was a young boy and always remembered that he loved the outdoors and all it had to offer. As he grew and life changed for him, he became an inspiration for everyone. Know that others share in your grief, and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

Louie & Jane ~ I am so very sorry for your loss. Even though I have not seen Jeff since he was a little boy, I have heard many wonderful things about him and how he was able to take tragedy and turn it into triumph. I hope you find comfort in knowing that Jeff is embarking on the most magnificent journey ever....eternal life without pain or restrictions. My thoughts are with both of you as well as my prayers.

To Jeff's family. I had the pleasure of spending two years (working for Miller Dwan)assisting Jeff and Jack. I will always remember Jeff for his quick wit and a great sense of humor. I am saddened by his passing but knowing that he is in a better place (probably hunting and fishing) gives me a sense of happiness. Jeff was a good man.

Dear Louie, Jane & Family
I am so sorry to hear about Jeff. The last time I saw Jeff was before his accident and I remember what energy he had. It is certainly an inspiration to hear what he was able to accompolish and just how many lives he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jeff taught me so much during the six months I worked with him at RSI. I will never forget our great conversations and the many stories that he told. I am glad I was able to know such a great person. I truly regret not being able to keep in touch with him the past couple of years but memories of him will always guide my treatment and interaction with other spinal cord injury patients once I become a physical therapist. May his journey with God in heaven be joyous.

To all of Jeff's family, I worked for Jeff for about 3 years (91 thru 93) He was so much fun to work for, he had such a great sense of humor and an amazing outlook on life. I have thought about him so many times throuout the years that I have been gone from Duluth. I tell my children stories about things that Jeff and I did when I was working for him. I am sorry for your loss but am so happy for him that he can now go hunting again on his own two feet. We talked about that quite a bit...

I am so sorry for your loss. I will really miss Jeff. We spoke a couple of weeks ago and I was hoping to make it to Duluth to see him this summer. It has been 11 years since I worked with him and I can remember the times we spent together so clearly. He was quite a character. I loved his goofy sense of humor and the fact that he was always making stuff up just to see if he could get you to fall for it.

He taught me how to tie a fishing lure and I believe that the ONLY time I have...

To all of Jeff's family,
I worked almost 5 years with Jeff and his upstairs neighbor (Dec 1990-Aug 1995) and learned so much from him, both about how to be a good nurse and just about life. He was so excited for me when my husband and I bought a farm in 2003. He wanted to know all about what kind of wildlife we had, what the property looked like, how much woods there was etc. I am glad for Jeff that he has been freed from his body and I look forward to his book. I am going to try to come...

I spent many hours with Jeff in the ICU at St Lukes Hospital shortly after his accident and weeks after that at Miller Dwan. I was a new nursing student at that time, and what I learned about life from him NO other education could ever teach. Though I never saw Jeff again after 1985 when I moved away, he never was out of my memories and inspiration in how to deal with whatever....life may bring good or bad. His faith was incredible, and now he can forever live on in the glory of the Lord...
