One of six children born to Bob and Marylou Campbell in Brookville, PA, Steve proudly called Alabama "home" since moving here in the early 1970s. His career was spent in the funeral industry where he masterfully performed his trade, aiding families during their most dire and vulnerable times. Steve took immense pride in his work and the power his work held. Through his work he undoubtedly touched many lives in hours of utmost need. Steve managed Anniston Memorial Funeral Home in Anniston, AL, from its inception until his retirement in 2016. He loved serving the people of Anniston and its surrounding areas. Steve's kindness and affability extended into his love of music where he did not merely participate, but truly excelled. He shared his undeniable singing talents with audiences across the region and beyond for over four decades, whether with a band or solo, and would oftentimes volunteer his voice for countless charitable organizations in the area. A drummer for many years and a singer for his entire life, Steve always carried his greatest joy in song. He was never happier than when he was performing. His spirit and presence will be missed beyond measure. Steve is preceded in death by his parents, Robert L. and Marylou Campbell; and his brother, Baby Sam. Left to cherish Steve's memories are his wife, Jacquie Tessen; his children, Corey Campbell (Carolina Riano), Heather Baker (Chad), Casey Campbell (Jessica Tate), and their mother, Patsy Campbell; his step-daughters, Hannah Mercer Dicks and Alice Tessen; his mother-in-law, Donna Juetten; his siblings, Bob Campbell (Ele), Melinda Nicks (Charles), Malea Mobley (Ron), and Melissa Leggatt (Richard) and families; his grandchildren, Savannah, Sydney, Max, Noelle, Jolie, Avery, Autumn, and Christopher; and a host of extended relatives and friends.
