Kenneth Collin Campbell, 63, of Wishram, Wash., went to be with the Lord on August 22, 2006. He was born on February 14, 1943, to Alfred and Francis Campbell in California.

Kenneth is survived by his daughters, Shelly (Chauncey) Johnston of Des Moines, and Kelly (Jerry) Van Dyke of Renton; his grandchildren Hailey and David Johnston and Kerry Van Dyke; and many family and friends. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Sandra, sister Deanna, and his parents.

Living most of his life in Seattle, he worked as a landscaper/general contractor while raising his family. He also enjoyed tinkering in the antique business. He loved to wheel and deal while working at Campbell's Antiques, a store he owned on Des Moines Memorial Drive. In 1999, he moved to Wishram to start a new adventure/dream. There with his wife opened an Antique Grocery Store and managed The Pastime Tavern.

Ken was a great people person, accepting and helping all that came through his door, and was always willing to try something new in life. He was a very hard working, well-loved father, poppa, uncle and friend. He'll be greatly missed by all.

A Celebration of Life was held on August 27, 2006, in Wishram at Train Park.
