Campbell, Jack Kenneth
February 14, 1932 - April 13, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle. Jack was one of four boys born to Jim and Ada Campbell. Jack married Nellie and they shared 56 years together before her passing May 2010. Jack will be greatly missed by his children Karen (Don) Broom, Dale (Rick) Molyneux, Pam (Dave) Eaton. Jack had 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Jack was born and raised in the Drumheller Valley. He owned and operated J.K. Campbell Construction before retiring and moving to Calgary. Jack had a love for sports and coached many young hockey teams in the valley. He enjoyed playing horseshoes with his friends and attended many tournaments. Jack was a true poker player and was lucky enough to draw a Royal Flush. Jack enjoyed horse racing and studying the racing guide and had his own system to pick the winning horse. Jack’s face always lit up when he spent time with grandchildren (Amy, Travis, Scott, Jaclyn, Angela) and great grandchildren (Hailey, Katelyn, Gracie, and Ava). Jack had a soft spot in his heart just for them. Dad’s unconditional love, bright eyes and smile brought a tug to our hearts, our hearts are broken we will miss you dearly. A celebration of life was held on April 17, 2014 at Queen’s Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jack’s memory to the Canadian Diabetes Association 1400 - 522 University Avenue. Toronto, Ontario M5G 2R5.
