John Riley "Tutsom" Campbell, 88 of Marked Tree, Arkansas went to his Heavenly Home on June 4, 2023
at Three River's Nursing Center and Rehabilitation. He was born on January 27, 1935 in Iuka, Mississippi
to Barney Buford "Bill" and Gertrude Hannon Campbell. He was preceded in death by his parents, the
Mother of his children-Joan Campbell, Grand Daughter-Tina Campbell, Brothers James, Billy, Pancho,
Donald Ray Campbell and Carlton Rose, Sister, Katheryn Cox.
He is survived by one Son, Johnny (JoAnn) Campbell of Tyronza, Arkansas and two Daughters, Rita
(Robert)Pourchet of Pearland, Texas and his "Baby" Tabatha (Mitchell AKA "Buddy" to him) Burcham of
Lepanto, Arkansas.
He is survived by Thirteen Grandchildren: Andrea, Justin, Tiffany, April, Billy Don, Johnathan, Amber,
Kayla, Earnie, Tommy, Patience, Cameron and Havyn. Ten Great Grandchildren, Kyle, Elizabeth, Luke,
Chase, Gavin, Maddie, Maggie, Bryleigh, Layla and Maxleigh. One Great Great Grandchild, Grayson.
Sisters, Verlon Stone and Diane Davis. Brother, Butch Campbell. He is survived by many special family
members and friends especially Jimmy Wilkerson.
The working career years included Gotham Mfg, National Distilleries/Seagram Barrel Company, a self-
employed sheet rock hanger and retiring as a farm hand.
Daddy enjoyed many hours of hunting squirrel, raccoon and deer as well as countless hours fishing for
Crappie. He enjoyed the outdoors to the fullest. Daddy lived his life in his earlier years day to day not
worrying just being happy with life. He loved to tell some of the most interesting stories about his life.
He blessed many people with garden vegetables that he grew over the years in his half acre plus
gardens. Later years, he enjoyed watching Westerns and St. Louis Cardinal's Baseball. He was lifted up
by any visits or phone calls from his family or friends.
One of his greatest meals was a plain fish sandwich and a side of slaw from Hog Wild BBQ.
During his last weeks of his life chapter, he enjoyed wearing his first pair of tennis shoes wheeling
around to talk and wave at his new friends that lived at Three Rivers.
He leaves those who knew him and loved him with cherished memories.
A special THANK YOU to Steven's Square staff and residents for providing a peaceful place of living for
Daddy before his move to Three Rivers especially his personal caregiver, Lisa Williams and his lunch meal
delivery person Amanda, Johnny Parker who brighten his day, the Lepanto First Responders, Riverside
Ambulance, Access Medical in Marked Tree including all medical providers who made his life better, the
entire staff and residents of Three Rivers Nursing Center and Rehab including the therapists and the
entire staff of Elite Hospice Care.
If you wish to do something special in Memory of Daddy, please do something nice for anyone listed
above and/or send a donation to Three Rivers Nursing Center in Marked Tree.
Pallbearers will be family and friends.
Bro. Patrick Tucker will officiate the Graveside Service at the Tyronza Cemetery, Tuesday, June 6, 2023 at 10AM
