BOB CAMPBELL
Bob Campbell of Everett born Oct. 23, 1987 at Everett General Hospital. He got into a car with a drunk driver on Aug. 29, 2003, and the car crashed. Joey was killed instantly. He was three miles from home on a quiet country road without any other cars around. We know Joey went to heaven. He believed in Jesus Christ as his Saviour and is now in the arms of the Lord.
His mother, Kathy Jean Calavan, preceded him to heaven in 1997, as did both of her parents, Art and Jean Belle Thorsen of Bremerton, WA. We know Joey has been reunited with those who went before him and is so happy to be with his mom again.
He leaves behind a family who will miss him very much: parents, David and Pamela Calavan of Stanwood; brother, Pvt.

We would like anyone reading this to know that Joey was extraordinary. He was funny, artistic, creative, sensitive, and he really cared about people. He loved to visit. He would forgive the young woman who was driving the car, and we know she must be in a lot of pain. We are praying for her. A memorial service will be held Wed., Sept. 10, 1 p.m., at the New Life Center, Four Square Church, 6830 Highland Dr., Everett, WA. Students, family and friends are welcome to attend.
