Reverend Bobby Jim “Bob” Campbell, 86, of Jonesborough, passed away Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at his home surrounded by family following a brief illness.
Bob was a brick mason by trade and a devoted Christian man who traveled many miles to share his love for our Heavenly Father.

Survivors include his eight children, Robert Campbell and wife Lisa, William Campbell, Steve Campbell, Lottie Campbell and fiancé Junior Houser, John Campbell, Fred Campbell, Tim Campbell and Jeneen Stissel and husband Brandon; and one sister, Dorothy Hall. He was a “Papaw” to 15 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Bob will also be remembered by many friends, neighbors, and church family.
