Bruce Roy Campbell, age 76, passed away peacefully in the comfort of his home on April 4th, 2023, at 3:55AM (MDT) after an extended illness in Cedar City, Utah. His life began November 5, 1946, in East Cleveland, Ohio, to Robert Findlay Campbell and Wilma June Pry-Durkee.
Bruce lived in Ohio for the majority of his childhood. He has 2 living sisters, Susan Egan, Jill Jenner and 2 deceased brothers. He has traveled and lived in Illinois, California, Arizona and spent the remainder of his life in Utah. He was a folk singer, a musician, a cowboy, a father, and husband. He served in the Army. Bruce's passion has always been music, playing guitar, and in recent years he developed a great love in researching his family history.
Bruce was blessed to be married to Deborah (Layton) Campbell who is a retired nurse that never left his side and comforted him as a patient and wife. He has 6 sons, 2 daughters: Joseph Johnson, Jason Johnson, Ryan Campbell, Christian Campbell, Charles Medrano, Brian Medrano; a daughter, Cassandra Renee (Patrick) Morgan and Rebecca Medrano; and 7 grandchildren.
Bruce's family and friends express great gratitude towards all the medical staff at St. George Regional Hospital as well as the professional and compassionate care of Horizon Hospice.

From Robert Host:

Bruce and I were neighbors in Cleveland Heights, going to Monticello Jr.High and Heights High. We worked on a ranch together in Colorado the summer of 1965, After which we parted ways until about 5 years ago. We both pursued different career paths but accidentally through FaceBook, we learned of our family, friends and locations. Bruce had become a strong follower of The Jesus Christ Latter- Day Saints, and besides his Family and Friends, this was his ultimate goal in life. Bruce was a dear friend and I will miss him greatly . Rest in peace my friend ! Bob Host

Wow! Another Cleveland Heights Friend gone. These events are coming way to often. Met Bruce at Monticello jr HIgh in the 7th grade. He was an awesome Guy. Very friendly, fun to be around and a good friend. He was always cheerful and if you needed someone to talk to either good or bad he always would lend an ear, If it was good he would cngratulate you and if bad he would counsoul you. Whatever it was you were glad he was there to share your joy or concerns. He also (at least in Junior High) was quite the "Ladies Man". The girls liked his good looks and charm. Lost track of him after High School. Now I see he walks the streets of Gold. I am glad our paths crossed and had the honor of knowing "Bruce". Rest in Peace my Brother. My extreme sympathy to his Family and Friends.

It's quite gratifying to learn that at least one of our classmates was a cowboy.

Yipee ki yi ay, Bruce.

I remember Bruce from Men's Chorus. Sitting in Mac's office and Bruce playing his guitar and sing folk songs. He was a good friend and a great guy.

 I remember Bruce as a friend with a huge, charismatic personality. I liked him a lot. His presence filled the room and he was a fun, engaging guy. I don't recall the specific details of the past, as time and age blur these in memory. But I remember his spirit and I'm not surprised that he lived a full life and made an impact. My condolences to his family as I can see his passing will leave a big void.
