Barry was born on June 6, 1962, the son of the late James Edward Sr. and the late Nolene (Roberts) Campbell. He was a proud veteran of the United States Marines and a member of the American Legion Post #106. He enjoyed tinkering with all things. He also loved vacationing and camping with his family and friends.
If Barry wasn’t working on a project, you could find him in his recliner watching westerns with his buddy, Ajax. He cherished his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren, who he was incredibly proud of. Barry had a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody. He showed this in his love for the Lord. He and his wife, LaRisa, were longtime, faithful members of Grenada Church of God. Barry served on the Church and Pastors Council for the past 13 years, and was on the church security team. He loved standing at the doors and welcoming everyone who entered with a hug or handshake.
Survivors include, his loving wife of 28 years, LaRisa (Ward) Campbell, who was the love of his life; his children, Christie (Roger) Austin of Holcomb, Lakela (Mark) Lancaster of Grenada and Wayne Anthony of Grenada; grandchildren, Tristan (Kailey) Anthony, Peyton (Lana) Estes, Madison Bishop, Madelyn Anthony, Caleb (Jade) Estes, Nate Newton, Libbie Grace Anthony and Dalton Sheedy; great grandchildren, Levi Anthony and Stetson Estes; stepfather, Walter Roberts; brother, James E. (Patti) Campbell of Greenwood; special cousin, Vicki (Joe) Pettus of Trenton, Ohio, and his furry companion, Ajax.
