James T. Campbell
James Thomas Campbell, 57, of Sullivan, MO, passed away Sunday, January 16, 2022 at Missouri Baptist Hospital – Sullivan.
James was born on December 7, 1964 in Potosi, MO to Thomas Lilburn and Mildred Marie (Breakfield) Campbell. He was the fourth of eleven children. James attended and graduated from Belle High School, class of 1983. He was an exceptional student and had a very analytical mind. James had the ability to look and listen to a piece of machinery and know what was wrong with it. He could fix just about anything. James was employed by Schatz Underground for 36 years. For most of that time, he was the shop manager, which was a position he was well suited for.
James was united in marriage to Karen Ann Cuneio on May 17, 1986 and they were blessed with their beautiful twin daughters, Paige and Amanda. James was a wonderful husband and father and was so proud of his girls. Sadly, Karen preceded James in death.
James married Deanna Weaver on July 11, 2015 and she was a true blessing to him and the girls. James and Deanna very much enjoyed just spending time with one another and traveling with their family. James also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and especially golfing. He was known for his willingness to help his friends. He had a dry sense of humor and sharp wit. James was a longtime member of First Assembly of God, where he served in many areas, usually behind the scenes. James will be forever missed by his family, church family, work family and many friends.
