Steben Campbell Obituary

We mourn the loss of our beloved Steben Shayne Campbell, who died early Sunday morning, October 3, in a fatal car accident in New Orleans. Steben was born on July 26, 1971, in New Orleans, to Stephen Campbell and Cynthia Miller, and raised by his father and step-mother Kathleen Taylor Campbell. Their blended family included his sister/fiercest advocate Eliece Campbell Roig; step-brother/childhood roommate/best friend Kevin Williamson; and step-sister/occasional co-conspirator Kasey Williamson Stella. Steben attended St. Pius X elementary school, graduated from Jesuit High School, and attended Louisiana State University and Southeastern Louisiana University. He married Valerie Pescay in November 2003, who gave birth to their daughter, Dakota Claire Campbell, in 2005. With his perpetual smile and enormous heart, Steben was always the life of the party. From a young age, his magnetic personality, infectious laughter, and up-for-anything attitude garnered him an endless slew of friends. A jack-of-all trades, Steben had a contracting business building new homes and renovating older homes. He also had a custom furniture business. He loved the feeling of accomplishment of creating something from beginning to end. Although he was a life-long Saints fan, when he was 8 or 9 years old, his parents tried to convince him to root for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because they couldn't find a Saints starter jacket in his size for Christmas. He loved watching Saints and LSU games, playing intramural softball, traveling, vacations at the beach, ski trips, family barbecues, and spending time with his daughter. He is survived by his daughter, Dakota; his ex-wife Valerie; his parents; his siblings and their spouses Don Roig, Laurie Thibodeaux Williamson, and Jason Stella; his nieces Isabella Roig and Mary Camille Williamson; his nephews Campbell Roig and Colin Williamson; his grandmothers Agnes Campbell and Mary Taylor; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and lifelong friends. Services will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home in New Orleans, LA, on Wednesday, October 13. Visitation will be 10:00 a.m. with Mass at 11:00 a.m. Immediately following the Mass there will be an inurnment in Metairie Cemetery. All guests are invited to attend the reception at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home's Event Center after the inurnment.
If you wish, rather than flowers, please give a donation to a charity of your choice in Steben's name.
