Doug was born in June of 1937 in Mesa AZ to Napoleon and Jody Campbell. He was orphaned by age 5, raised mostly by his brother and sister-in law, Rudy and Greta Campbell. He graduated from Mesa High School in 1955. He spent some time in College and the Army, then, after marring Marilyn Roberts, entered in the Coast Guard. After having two of his children, they settled in the Quad Cities area of IA and IL, and had their third child. For the next 25 years, he worked for Oscar Mayer, managed several restaurants, and became an over the road truck driver, before moving back to AZ.
Doug enjoyed riding his motorcycle, camping, watching old movies, taking drives listening to classical music and anything involving good food! Doug is survived by his son, David Campbell (Shelly), daughter, Jeanne Matter (Mark), daughter, Christine Swift (Dave), six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and his brother and sister-in law, Rudy and Greta Campbell.
A memorial is scheduled on Saturday August 11th, 1:00pm at Lakeshore Mortuary, 1815 S Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Doug’s life.
