Michael Leroy Campbell

Michael Leroy Campbell, October 8, 1954 - February 3, 2017. Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. One of twelve children, Michael attended Nashville Metropolitan Public Schools.

At an early age, Michael accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He rededicated his life to Christ and became a member of Fairfield Missionary Baptist Church.
