Charles Henry Campbell

Charles Henry Campbell, 76, of Dayton, Texas, passed away on Thursday, March 1, 2018 at his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on October 14, 1941 in Baytown, Texas to Paul Hubert and Margie Beatrice Campbell. Charles Henry and the love of his life, LaVelle made Dayton, Texas their home in 1983. 

Charles Henry proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam Conflict. He worked as a plasterer by trade and was a member of the Plasters Local 79 union, where he was also the Sergeant of Arms. He was also a former Masonic Lodge brother who spent years in the community as a Mason. 

Charles Henry was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, son and friend to many. He was an honest man with a generous nature. Charles Henry would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need, even if it was his last shirt. He had a big heart, was compassionate, loyal and lived his life with integrity and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. 

Charles Henry enjoyed the great outdoors, camping, deer hunting and fishing for crappie and bass. He also liked to vacation with his grandchildren, taking family trips and spending quality time at his lake house on Sam Rayburn. But his greatest and most favorite hobby of all was his grandchildren.
