Ivan was predeceased by his wife Doris Margaret (Larson), the love of his life and by his parents Francis Robert Campbell and Lizze Viola Beckstead and his brother Arnold Campbell. Ivan will be missed and cherished by his five children, Richard (Renee), Vern, Heather (Gary), Noreen (Allan) and Murray (Linda). Ivan was the proud grandpa of 11 grandchildren: Shannon, Alyssa, and Ryan; Emily and Aidan; Camryn Dewar; Curtis, Chelsea and Kristin Johnson; and Carah and Duncan. Dad farmed and lived in the Teulon area his whole life. He married Doris Larson in 1955 and they had many years of happiness together. Dad was an avid sports fan and was active in sports throughout his life coaching baseball and hockey for many years, He curled, bowled and golfed until just a few years ago. Gardening was another great joy and he generously shared the bounty of his green thumb with friends and relatives. The family would like to thank the caring and compassionate staff at Tudor House. Dad felt you were not staff but his friends. He loved your kidding and also ensuring that he didn't miss any hockey games or the Olympic coverage. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Ivan's life will be held Saturday, May 17, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Stony Mountain Ski Area. We look forward to sharing remembrances about Dad with you. Dad always felt that life was far more interesting if there was a good story to go with it. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Dad's name to the ALS Society of Manitoba, 493 Madison Street, Winnipeg, MB R3J 1J2.

I was lucky to have Mr. Campbell as my hockey and baseball coach while I was growing up in the same grade as Vern. I only grew brave enough to call your Dad Ivan when I was finally grown up. One of my enduring memories of your Dad, is from hockey, if we had the puck in the oppositions end I can to this day still hear Ivan shouting "SHOOT, SHOOT"!!! This was quite often directed at Vern and Richard, but the rest of us on the team were also subjected to his hockey philosophy of shoot the puck. Your Dad was always there too coach us kids and I only now realize the time and effort he put into the job. Richard, Vern, Heather, Noreen and Murray, he will be missed, my thoughts go out to you and your families. - Posted by: Darryll Dicks (Friend) on: Mar 29, 2014
