Kenneth Campbell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Care Cremation & Funeral Service - Eastland Drive on Jan. 28, 2026.
Kenneth Lee Campbell, age 83, of Lexington Kentucky passed away in the comfort of his home, surrounded by family on Monday January 19, 2026

Born on January 17, 1943, in Lexington Kentucky, Kenneth lived a life marked by kindness, dependability, love of family, and a strong faith in Jehovah God. He was a devoted husband to Rebecca with whom he shared 24 years of marriage.

He was a loving father to Timothy Campbell, a caring stepfather to Nicole Wilkinson, Tanya Ronje, Diana Owens, and Chad Wilkinson. He was a proud step-grandparent to Jewel and Roxy Ronje, and Eleanor and Isaiah Owens. He cherished time with his immediate family, his extended family and the host of friends who made up his spiritual family.

Kenneth worked at IBM in electrical repair and later for LFUCG from where he retired. Outside of work, he enjoyed playing basketball, tennis, golf and fishing. After taking early retirement in 2002, Ken spent the majority of his days in the ministry sharing his love of God and his hope for the future.

He was preceded in death by his wife Judy, son Timothy, parents Elizabeth and Carlo, and brothers Carl, Robert, and James. In addition to his wife and stepchildren, he is survived by sisters Patricia Ann and Carol Denise and brother Quinn.

In lieu of a traditional memorial service, a memorial video honoring Kenneth is being prepared. The link to the video will be posted soon.

Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.
