Kirk Douglas Campbell, age 52, went to be with the Lord on July 30, 2011, surrounded by family and friends. Kirk was born August 23, 1958 to Lane and Grace Campbell. He attended Hastings High School, graduating in 1977. Kirk went on to attend Lake Superior State College. During which time he also owned a small business building batting cages and body building equipment to help earn his way through college. Kirk never let his birth defects interfere with the things he wanted to do, in fact Kirk never looked at himself as someone that was handicapped. To him it was just a challenge in life that kept him strong with a lot of enthusiasm. Kirk always kept busy if he wasn’t working, he was fishing on The Big Lake or planning a trip for his next big hunt, deer, bear, elk ect. Kirk had a lot of great friends with a lot of stories to share with everyone; he spent a lot time with different tribes of Native Americans because who knows more about hunting and fishing than the Native Americans. He learned how to survive in the wilderness if he needed. He was also an excellent cook. When he realized that his life was coming to a close he said that the Lord gave him one strong frame that he just plain wore out. He accomplished more than most healthy men could, he was one tough man.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Lane and Grace Campbell. He is survived by brothers, Larry (Sandy) Poland, and Duane (Amy) Campbell; sister Rainell (Bob) Wieland; Nieces, Lori (Brian) Buchanan and family, Sharon (Mike) Huyser and family, Valorie (Andy) Smith and family, Melissa (Brent) Cisler and family, Kaileigh (Mark) Eddy and family; Nephew, Wade (Lori) Poland and family; Special friends, Bob and Ann Moomey and family, also Diana Irish and many more friends. Kirks wishes were to be cremated, there will be no funeral service, but there will be a memorial service to be held at a later date.
