Martin Alexander Campbell

Martín Alexander Campbell (29) passed away on March 7, 2024 in Trussville Alabama.

Born May 2, 1994 to Laura Andrea Campbell Nuñez and Mendell Charles Campbell, he was the second of eight boys. As a child he was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He graduated from Clay Chalkville High School in 2012

As an adult, he pursued a life of service as a SGT in the United States Marine Corps. After recruitment training in Paris Island, SC, he was then recognized as an honor graduate of the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion 3050. He was stationed with Marine Air Control Squadron 1 (MACS-1) in Yuma, AZ and deployed to Kuwait with Air Expeditionary Force 9 (AEF-9) in 2016. Martin later returned to the service joining the Air National Guard as a SSGT, becoming a Fire Fighter for the 117th Air Refueling Wing in Birmingham. Martin was also a System Administrator at TekSouth until the time of his passing.

As a person, he was driven, charitable and strong of mind and body. "Xander" was the protector of his family, especially his wife Lauren and daughter Addilyn. He considered himself the "alpha" of the pack of boys in a family which he loved dearly. Martin was a perfect example of what a father figure should be. He was a fun daddy who always provided, understood and cared for his little princess every second of her life.

Martin enjoyed working out with his brothers, martial arts, building robots, video games, Anime, and riding his motorcycle. He always knew what to say to make you laugh and always had advice to give for anyone who needed it.
