We had the pleasure of meeting this fine gentleman a little over two years ago when we first visited McLeod's Farm. We were new to the area. We instantly took a liking to him, and told him we have a close friend who could pass for his brother. We hadn't seen him on our last visits to the Farm, so today we decided to ride up, in hopes of being able to, once again, visit with him. Our hearts sunk when we learned of his passing. To all of Campbell's loved ones, we offer our heartfelt sympathy and prayers that God may comfort you in your time of grief.
Most sincerely,

To the McLeod Family,
We were so sad to hear of Campbell's passing. You guys are in our prayers. I will always remember Campbell's supply of peach jelly at the local restaurant and his pick up truck and dog! I am proud to have known him and shared in his life. God bless you all.

Kemp and Beth,
Please know you and your families are in our prayers.
I enjoyed seeing Campbell the last two revival services we had in McBee. We had some good conversations about faith and repentance. I will always admire and never forget Campbell for how he came back to his faith.

When you shook Mr. Campbell's hand, you knew with certainty that you were shaking the hand of a “Man’s Man”. And thus, you knew that he was going to expect nothing but integrity and honesty from you if you were to have a relationship with his family. Not only McBee, but this world is a better place because of what he demanded from others and for the very footsteps he left behind. Ms. Suzanne and Thomas please know that I will continue to lift you and your family up in prayer and hope you’ll find comfort knowing the positive impact Mr. Campbell had on our lives.
