Jacob Paul Campbell, 37, of Peru, Indiana was called home on March 11, 2017.
Jacob was born in Phoenix, Arizona and became his mother’s whole world on July 15, 1980.
While in high school, Jacob started working at Kroger and worked there for approximately five years. He also worked security and was a bio 911 officer for Trinity in Indianapolis. Currently, he was studying at Ivy Tech in Kokomo to become a firefighter.
Jacob’s passions were God, family, his country, discovering different parts of the world, and Pop Tarts. His number 1 priority was his family – whether blood related or not, he considered all “family”. He never met anyone that wasn’t a friend. He was compassionate, caring, and strong for what he believed within himself and his spirit.
Jacob is survived by his mother, Mary Ann Campbell, his father Bobby Springer, and daughter DaNielle Campbell. Also, cousins David Campbell, Desiree Campbell, and Megan Campbell. Sisters Mandy Fitzpatrick and Heather Crane; and brother Joshua Hartleroad – as well as many, many online brothers.
He was preceded in death by his step-father, William Roark, and spiritual adopted mother, Brenda Hartleroad; uncles David Campbell and Jerry Campbell; and grandparents Albert and Joan Ann Berenschot.
