Keith "Krusher" Herbert Campbell, 64, of Greenock, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 surrounded by his family. He was born January 3, 1960 in McKeesport and was the son of the late Barbara L. "Babs" (Johnston) Campbell and Edward J. (Peggy) Campbell of Florida. He was a member of the Greenock United Methodist Church, and Teamsters Local 341. He was a Heavy Equipment Operator for North East Paving. Keith was a gentle giant and loved his family deeply. His daughter Emma was the apple of his eye from the moment she was born. You always knew where you stood with Keith, friend or foe, he told you like it was. He was very passionate about hunting with his brothers every year for deer season and was his happiest when he was processing his own deer in his basement. He looked forward to turkey season at Twin Kegs every year with his camp buddies and could spot a turkey in a field miles away. His other favorite pastimes were gardening, and cooking for his family, watching every outdoor show on TV, and repairing small engines. Keith devoted his time to the EF Band Boosters as Treasurer and running the concession stand, all for his daughter.

In addition to his father, he leaves behind his wife, Kimberley Susannah (Denney) Campbell, daughter, Emma Susannah Campbell of Greenock, brother, Edward J. (Bette Rae) Campbell, Jr., of Greenock, sister, Wendy (Mark Castor) of Finleyville, and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Kirk "Bubba" Campbell.
