• Notes

  CAMPBELL, David Douglas The Lord took home, David to his glorious and perfect rest after 56 years of victories and struggles with Cerebral Palsy. David passed away on January 3, 2004, with his family and Pastor at his side, at the Fairview Mennonite Home, Cambridge, where he received wonderful care for the last five years of his life. David was predeceased by his loving father, Gordon (1995) and one brother, John Brian at birth. David's smiling face and character will be missed by his loving mother, Winnie, who cared for him all of his life; his brother, Colin; sister-in-law, Charlene; his loving nieces, Ashley Meredith and Heather; his aunts and uncles, May and Jack Hodgins and Don and Shirley Campbell; cousins Vivian, Glenn, Warren and their families. David was a lifelong resident of Cambridge (Preston). He was known around town by many and was usually accompanied by one of the faithful dogs, that he owned over his life. David was one of the first students at the William Anderson School for the Mentally Challenged, when it opened in Galt, in the spring of 1954. David loved to travel, including trips to Europe, across Canada and yearly fishing excursions to Kenora, during the 60's, 70's and 80's. David was a special member of Hespeler Baptist Church, where he and his family attended throughout his life. The family would like to give special thanks and appreciation to the nurses and staff of Fairview Mennonite Home, David's longtime Doctor and friend, David Gingrich and our Pastor, Greg Patus, friends and extended family who provided support and prayers during these difficult last few weeks. Friends will be received at Barthel Funeral Home, 566 Queenston Rd., Cambridge, (653-3251), Tuesday, January 6, 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Rev. Greg Patus will conduct the funeral service at the Barthel Funeral Home at 2 p.m. on January 7, with refreshments to follow in the centre dining room at Fairview Mennonite Home.
