Jeff was born June 19, 1952 in Mansfield to the late Glenn and Opal (Bradshaw) Campbell. On February 21, 1976, he married Rose (Morton) Campbell who survives.

Jeff lived his entire life in the community and graduated with Bucyrus Class of 1971. As a freshman he was on the mile relay team that broke a school record. During his school years, he was also active in Boy Scouts and he traveled by train to the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in New Mexico. He began working at Checkmate Boats following high school where he met and married his wife Rose. During the mid-1970's he was a volunteer fireman for Bucyrus. A hard worker all of his life, he owned and operated his construction business and was co-owner of Bucyrus True Value Hardware .

He was a true pyro technician who enjoyed shooting fireworks commercially. He was a member of the Bucyrus ELKS, NRA, NFIB and PADI (Certified scuba diver). An avid hunter, he took many trips to Canada with family and friends and to visit with close friend Archie DeForge. He enjoyed many fun weekends at Lake Erie with Matthew and his good friend Roger.
