David Allen Campbell

David Allen Campbell, 80, of Plainwell, Michigan, passed away on February 16, 2023 surrounded by loved ones. He was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to Asahel and Marie Campbell on September 27, 1942. He graduated from Kalamazoo Central High School and served as a crew chief in the Air Force at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada before returning to Michigan to start a family and business with his beloved Pat. David was a gifted musician, builder, realtor and broker. His personality was bigger than life and his smile lit up a room.
