Joseph Daniel Campbell, born June 29, 1948, in Clinton, Tennessee, lived a life rooted in family, service, hard work, and faith. When Joe was about six years old, his family moved to Saginaw, Texas, where his father, A.D., opened an auto repair shop. It was there that Joe and his brothers Larry and Jerry spent their early years working side by side before all three enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. As his younger brothers Steve and John grew older, they too followed the same proud path of service.

Joe cherished being surrounded by his large family. One of twelve siblings, he often laughed at his parents’ saying, “It’s cheaper by the dozen.” That closeness shaped him throughout his life.

Joe married Harriet, his wife of 18 years, and together they raised four children—Jason, Robert, Jennifer, and Brandon. The family lived in Austin before moving to Houston, where Joe built a successful career with Aetna Life & Casualty as an Auto Claims Manager.

Although Joe and Harriet divorced in 1990, they remained connected through their children. Harriet raised their four kids with God’s help, instilling strong Christian values in each of them. In the last 20 years of Joe’s life, he grew even closer to his family. He and Harriet maintained a warm friendship centered around their children and the joy of their growing family. Joe was blessed with 11 grandchildren, and he treasured the relationships he built with several of them, especially in his later years.

Joe’s faith was a steady anchor throughout his life. He believed wholeheartedly in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and carried the assurance of where he would spend eternity—at peace in Heaven with Jesus.

Joe is survived by his four children—Jason, Robert, Jennifer, and Brandon—along with their families and his 11 beloved grandchildren. His family is deeply grateful for the love, support, and sympathy shown during this time of loss.

Joe will be remembered for his devotion to family, his pride in his Marine Corps service, his strong work ethic, and his unwavering faith. His legacy lives on in the children and grandchildren who loved him dearly.
