Thomas "Tom" Lyle Campbell

Thomas (Tom) Lyle Campbell was born in Adrian, Michigan on May 31, 1948 to Thomas Howell Campbell and Phyllis Jenean (Young) Campbell. He was raised in Adrian until he was 12 years old when his family moved to Toledo, Ohio. Tom passed into his new life on May 21, 2026. He was preceded in death and greeted by his beloved first wife, Mary Margaret (Margo Bush) Campbell, his father, Thomas Campbell, and his brother, James Campbell. Surviving to cherish his memory are his beloved second wife, Yadira Ricardez Chapa, daughter Marie (Matthew) Smith, son Aaron Campbell, and grandson Jacob Weir. Also surviving are Tom’s 98-year-old mother, Phyllis Campbell, his sisters Reba Campbell & Michele (Anthony) Lowe, and brother William (Linda) Campbell, and several nieces and nephews. Tom attended Catholic Central High School in Toledo, where he met Margo. They were married in 1971 and celebrated 47 years of happiness together. They lived in Toledo, OH; Burbank, CA; Taylor, MI; and Coral Springs, FL. Tom and Yadira met at church and were married in 2020. They lived in Coral Springs, FL. Tom received his Mechanical Engineering degree from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, and his Master’s degree in Business from the University of Toledo. He spent his career working in hospitals as a Facilities Management Director, caring for patient equipment, construction, maintenance, and accreditation compliance. Tom was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the time he was baptized at age 26 until his death, serving in many positions of the church. Tom and Margo were sealed for time and all eternity in the Washington, D.C. Temple on July 10, 1975. Tom and Yadira were sealed for time and all eternity in the Fort Lauderdale, FL Temple on November 11, 2020. “Families are Forever” was his greatest joy. He loved family and friends, but also enjoyed reading, learning, golf, woodworking, beekeeping, hallmark movies and doing things he had never done before. Although we miss Tom dearly, we are grateful for the joy of having him with us for over 77 years. We find peace in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the thought of his happy reunion with loved ones gone before. In memory of Tom, please do an extra act of kindness and definitely eat a great vegan meal. Friends and family are invited to visit at Ansberg West Funeral Home, 3000 W.
