Casey “Freckles” Scott McCampbell passed away on Thursday, March 5, 2020 at the age of 23. Casey and his twin sister Kayla, were born on August 29, 1996 in Missoula Montana, to Kim and Kimberlee McCampbell. Growing up, as twins, they were inseparable, fiercely protective of each other and always cherished their special bond. Casey graduated from Big Sky High School in 2015. While at Big Sky, he enjoyed playing soccer and spending his free time with his friends outdoors. He went on to study at Montana State University, where he found that he had more interests outside the classroom, and later moved back to Missoula to be closer to his family. He was a talented woodworker and welder, and created many gifts for his family, that will be forever cherished.
Casey enjoyed golf, and was an avid skier, both on snow, water and on his jet ski. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle, which he had learned to do during summers spent with his Grandpa McCampbell at the cabin on Painted Rocks Lake. Many hours were spent there boating, skiing, playing games, and sitting around the bonfire. Uncle Casey had a unique bond with his brother’s girls “P” and “Jo Jo” who absolutely adored all the attention he bestowed upon them, and in his eyes they could do no wrong.
Casey was a kind, loving and gentle young man, who was loved dearly by his family and will always be remembered with love and many special memories as he starts his next journey. Casey is preceded in death by Grandpa William McCampbell. He is survived by his father and mother, Kim and Kimberlee McCampbell, brother, BJ (Aspen) Aldridge, sisters Amber-Rae and Chelsie McCampbell, beloved twin Kayla, adopted sister Gail Rohleder, nieces Paisley “P” and Piper “Jo Jo” Aldridge, Grandma Iris McCampbell, and Grandpa James Williams; in addition to a large extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Funeral Services will be conducted by Father Michael Drury at Garden City Funeral Home on Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 11 am with a reception to follow.
