Francis G. Campbell, Jr.  was born on June 10, 1967 at Mather AFB in Sacramento, California.  He moved to Whidbey Island with his family in 1976.  Frankie graduated from Langley Middle School, South Whidbey High School and Western Washington University.

Water color paintings, roses, cats, poultry and canaries were Frank’s favorite things.  He led a quiet life full of love for everyone he met.  He delighted in bringing roses to his family and friends, and he shared his beautiful water colors with many lucky people. 

Frankie died on Whidbey Island on March 28, 2012.  He left behind many friends who will miss his happy presence and constant good nature. Those of us who are left behind are thankful for the time we have had to share this world with him, and are honored to have him be our ambassador in heaven.

Frank is survived by his parents, Frank and Judy Campbell, and by his siblings Katie Donohoe and her husband Mike, Christopher Campbell, Bridget Kappenman and her husband Jason, and John Campbell and his fiancée Jane, and his longtime companion and friend Pam Pickering, as well as many more beloved uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces and in-laws.

A celebration of Frankie’s life is being held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Thursday, April 12 at 2 p.m.  The service will be followed by a gathering in the church hall for refreshments and pot luck, conversation and some of Frankie’s favorite things.   Frankie loved all the colors of roses and would have loved to see his life celebrated in joyful color.  Please come and share with us in this celebration of the life of a remarkable man.
