Joe was born on July 6, 1975, in Atchison, Kansas, the son of Clayton Campbell and Rebecca “Becky” (Wissman). He attended public schools in Atchison. He worked at a locker plant in Topeka, KS, while in high school until he began with Atchison Castings as a machinist for eighteen years until he had to step away for health reasons.

Joe enjoyed life and loved to fish, mainly on the Missouri River, his river name was “No Hook’em Joe”. He would spend as time as he could riding his Harley and taking care of his own maintenance on his bike. We can’t forget to mention that he really enjoyed a cold beer. He did things his own way on his own terms but would do anything for anyone whether he knew you or not. Above all else, he loved his family and had many friends that he was very loyal too.
