DCWC

He is a gentle, loving man... of keen intellect.

He grew from a poor family in Seattle
Once briefly living in the projects as a child
Reared paycheck-to-paycheck style
In a loving but poor family

He briefly embraced the counter culture
That was all around him in the sixties
And seventies
But finally shook it as he discovered
Abiding interest in music, martial arts and electronics

It wasn't until the 90's that he met and married
A resourceful, energetic, upbeat Canadian who herself had emerged
From a culture of abuse and dysfunction
Together they forged a relationship that
Placed heavy dependence on each other's strengths
And shored up each other's doubts

Seven years ago after an amazing run of persistence
That would challenge the patience and resourcefulness of both
They had a fine towheaded, blue eyed son... Dakota
He would prove to be the final catalyst to their already strong marriage...
The meaning of their lives

Dakota was up to this in every way
A handsome, thoughtful, inquisitive, athletic son

August, 2010

With a wonderful sense of humor
Who would bring laughter to every day of their lives

As time passes, this son will grow from a loving, professionally successful family
His father in aircraft electronics; his mother in construction insurance underwriting
His family will nurture his direction to its fullest
As he finds his way through life

This is America
This is the place where my brother
David Claud William Campbell
Develops his life to it's fullest

Where he emerges as a gentle, loving man... of keen intellect.

My hero.
