Leave a tribute for Gary Michael Campbell.
Gary, Thank you for the memories. For many years I have consistently combed back over the memories of the time I spent in the church as a youth, and you were almost always in those memories. As a leader to the youth we made many memories with you. You will be missed and thought about by many for many years to come. I am thankful that I was able to call you friend. Until we meet again, Paul Jr.

WHAT A WITNESS IT WAS TO ME TO SEE GARY AND LINDA FIGHT “THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH” TOGETHER AS HUSBAND AND WIFE AND A BROTHER AND SISTER IN CHRIST! IT REALLY MINISTERED TO ME AS I WAS STRUGGLING WITH MY SWEET WIFE LYNNE BEING IN THE NURSING HOME WHERE LINDA WORKED AND WHERE SHE PASSED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR! GOD EVEN ALLOWED US TO SPEND SOME TIME TOGETHER ONE EVENING MONTHS AGO AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT IN MORGANTON AND THEN AT THERE HOME TO PRAY AND FELLOWSHIP AFTERWARDS AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW GOD LOVED ON US THAT NIGHT IN THEIR HOME! THEIR GIFT OF HOSPITALITY AND LOVE IN CHRIST WAS SO APPARENT AND I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT SPECIAL MEMORY! GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS YOU “REJOICE WITH THOSE WHO REJOICE, WEEP WITH THOSE WHO WEEP. ROMANS 12:15 *GARY HAS CROSSED OVER INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF JESUS, ARE YOU READY? I KNOW GARY AND LINDA WOULD WANT ME TO ASK YOU, BUT JESUS ESPECIALLY! ❤️🙏🌹
