Bruce Wayne Campbell, 62, passed away Sept. 28 at Partners in Care Hospice House in Bend. .

Bruce was born July 22, 1954, at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Wash., to Ted Campbell and Janette Frost Jarvis.

Bruce was raised in Harney and Grant counties. He spent many years in Seneca, where he worked for Edward Hines Lumber Company. He graduated from Grant Union High School in John Day in 1972. He went on to attend Mt. Hood Community College, where he received an associate’s degree in communications.

He spent most of his life working in construction with Jarvis Excavating and later with Emery and Sons, operating and hauling heavy equipment.

In 2002, he had a daughter, Brooke, with Tracy Spaght. Brooke was his pride and joy and she lived with him for the last four years. He never missed a school function or sporting event she was involved in.

Bruce enjoyed many hunting trips with his family. Bruce was an avid pool player. He enjoyed many years of playing at the Pink Elephant in Salem, where he resided for 25 years. He was also a proud member of the Wrecking Crew every year at the St. Paul Rodeo. Bruce seemed to have an extended “family” everywhere he frequented.

He leaves behind his daughter, Brooke; mother and father; brother, Brad Campbell; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many, many friends.

He was preceded in death by his Harney County pioneer grandparents, Ed and Ruth Campbell, and Gerald and Lois Frost; and his sister-in-law and dear friend, Pam Davis Campbell.

A memorial service and dessert potluck will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, at the Prineville Elks Lodge.
