Clarence “Corky” Campbell

Corky passed away very peacefully, with family around him, on Saturday morning, August 3rd. He graduated from Canoga Park High School in California, in 1972. In 1973, he, and his friend Joel, traveled up to North Idaho and purchased land together in the Samuels area. Cork, eventually bought out Joel’s half. Cork raised his three sons, Cole, Josh and Gerred on the property. They lived up in the Samuel’s area for over twenty years. He, and his sons, started up J.C. Auto Detailing, which is still in operation today, at 323 (unit 103) McGhee Road, and 405 Olive Ave., in Sandpoint. One of his enjoyments, in life, was fishing. Any free time he had, he would be out in his boat, on Lake Pend Oreille, trying to catch the “big one”. He was a member of the Elks and enjoyed golfing, with his friends, on his team, every Monday evening, starting in the spring. In his later years he really enjoyed his greenhouse, growing tomatoes, strawberries, and marigolds, which he gave away to his friends and the Senior Center, as well. He touched so many lives with his funny, and quick, wit. He will be truly missed. He is survived by his oldest son, Cole and his wife Monique, and granddaughter Shelby, in Hayden, Idaho. His youngest son Gerred, in Sandpoint, Idaho plus his granddaughter Shay Lynn, and husband Chan, and two great grandsons Odyn and Cash, in Rathdrum, Idaho. He was preceded in death by his middle son, Josh, who passed away in 1994.
