James Campbell, died Monday, Oct. 22, 2012, at Fairview Hospital in Minneapolis.

Jay was born on July 13, 1986, in Stockbridge, Ga. Jay grew up in Georgia.

When he was 2 years old and due to health reasons, Jay had a liver transplant.

In 2001 Jay along with his family moved to Henning. He enjoyed working on and repairing automobiles — he enjoyed turning a wrench especially with old pickups.

In 2006, Jay made his home in Alexandria. He loved his best friend, Bruiser, a miniature pincher and “picking” old vehicles throughout Alexandria for himself and friends.

For the past six months, he had been battling a blood infection.

Preceding Jay in death were his grandfathers, George Ohsberg and James H. Campbell.

Jay is survived by his loving mother, Karen Campbell of Alexandria; father, James A. Campbell, Sr. of Sarasota, Fla.; a sister, Kristina Campbell of Alexandria; grandmother, Marjorie Ohsberg of Alexandria; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives; and a host of friends.

In lieu of flowers memorials may be given to the University of Minnesota Transplant Division.

Graveside services are planned at 11 a.m. Monday, at First Baptist Cemetery in Henning. Visitation will be Monday one hour prior to the service, at Belmont Funeral Home in Henning.
