Bro. Theron Jean Campbell was born January 17, 1961 in Oxford, MS to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hervey. He was the firstborn of twelve children and four preceded him in death. After a lengthy illness, God saw Bro. Campbell was getting weary so he changed his address and moved him to his heavenly home at the age of 51, on Thursday, December 29, 2011.
Bro. Campbell accepted Christ as his personal savior and joined Everdale Missionary Baptist Church in Water Valley, MS under the leadership of Pastor Purnell. He remained a faithful member until failing health caused him to be confined to his home.
Bro. Campbell graduated from Water Valley Elementary Special Needs School. While attending school he participated in the Special Olympics and enjoyed running track.
Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM until 11:00 AM on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at Everdale Missionary Baptist Church in Water Valley, MS.

Burial will be in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Water Valley, MS with Anthony Hervey, Samuel Hervey, Barry Hervey, and Bryan Gilliom serving as pallbearers.
