Kevin was baptized, confirmed, and a faithful member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Winsted. He was a 1971 graduate of Holy Trinity School.

Kevin was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and served as a eucharistic minister.

He took pride in caring for the land and animals on the family farm. He and Lois enjoyed travel – taking many US road trips and 10 international trips. He loved going to air and car shows – driving his 1969 Corvette and 1969 Dodge RT.

He loved history, sports (especially the MN Vikings and MN Twins), and talking politics. A true patriot, Kevin proudly flew an American flag in his front yard and had the utmost respect for all members and veterans of our military.

Kevin was a great conversationalist, who had an innate ability to connect with anyone he met. A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, he will be missed by family and friends.

He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Lois (Hecksel) Campbell. They were married July 24, 1976, and blessed with three children: Sarah (Will) Sevigny of Blaine, Jason (Natasha) Campbell of Maple Grove, and Eric (Tiffany) Campbell of Hutchinson; and six grandchildren; Katrina, Caleb, Isabelle, Tristan, Isabella, and Ava.
