One of Montana's best, Chuck Campbell passed away at home in Polson on June 17, 2021, succumbing to ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. He was a wonderful human who left us too soon.

Chuck was born on New Year's Eve 1967 in Post, Texas, the third son of Bud and Barbara Campbell. His family moved to Deer Lodge, Montana in 1971, where he grew up alongside his brothers, John and Steve. He played football and basketball for the Wardens.

Chuck went to the University of Montana, where he made lifelong friendships through the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and served on the UM Grizzly Cheer Squad. He earned a BA in Political Science and spent several years working for U.S. representatives, including Montana Senator Conrad Burns. He was a stalwart Republican and excelled at bringing people together to build community and solve problems.

Chuck had a long career in sales and marketing, working in technology, communications and special projects. He lived in Seattle, Las Vegas and Williston, but Western Montana drew him back home again and again.

He married Brandy Bravard in 2001, and they had two sons: Cole (2004) and Chase (2007). Chuck loved his sons more than life and enjoyed every moment he had with them. Later in life he discovered he also had a daughter, whom he connected with in 2016.

In 2010 Chuck reconnected with college friend Pam Aker, and they were married on Valentine's Day in 2015. Chuck loved living on Skidoo Lane with Pam and her parents, Chuck & Edwina Aker. He was a member of the Finley Point/Yellow Bay Fire Department and was the 2018 Firefighter of the Year.

Chuck was a vibrant, intelligent, funny and courageous man, who battled a crippling disease with grace and humor. He leaves behind his wife, Pam, sons and brothers, as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

All are invited to Chuck's celebration of life and graveside vigil on Saturday, Aug. 21 in Deer Lodge. Call Steve Campbell at 406.491.3908 for time and place. Cards and condolences can be directed to Pam Campbell at 32413 Skidoo Lane, Polson, MT 59860.
