Jerry Dale Campbell, a dedicated husband, father, brother, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025, at Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, Tennessee. Born on September 25, 1955, to Wink and Bessie Massey Campbell, Jerry lived a life of service and commitment to his family, faith, and community.
Jerry’s 48-year career as a retired Captain with the Lawrenceburg Fire Department was marked by valor and dedication, leaving a lasting impact on those he served alongside. His selflessness extended beyond the fire department as he also served as an EMT with Lawrence County EMS and MooreCare, providing care and comfort in times of need.
In addition to his public service, Jerry was an entrepreneur, owning and operating Envy Tanning and Beauty Spa. His multifaceted career showcased his leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those around him.
A devout Christian, Jerry was a cherished member of the Coleman United Methodist Church, living his faith through his actions and exemplifying the virtues of love, compassion, and charity.
Jerry’s love for his family was immeasurable. He leaves behind his loving wife, Judy Smith Campbell, and their three children: daughter Ashley DiBenedetto (Crystal), and sons A. J. Campbell (Sheena) and Kris Campbell, all of Lawrenceburg. His legacy of love and laughter will also be carried on by his nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Jerry is survived by his devoted siblings, Carol Sherman, Gary Campbell, and Terry Campbell, all of Lawrenceburg. His memory will be a beacon of strength and love for his family.
Jerry Dale Campbell’s life was a portrait of selflessness, courage, and kindness. His absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege to know him. As we say goodbye to this remarkable man, we celebrate his enduring impact and the indelible mark he left on his community and his loved ones.
