Campbell was elected as a Ross Twp. trustee in 2021, and worked on his family’s namesake farm.
Greene County commissioners Thursday described him as “a selfless community servant, role model and the definition of a good man.”
“He was the kind of man we all wished to be,” Commissioner Dick Gould said. “He will be missed and it was an honor to know him.”
Fellow trustee Mike Brown said Campbell was an “upcoming leader and an upcoming star” in Ross Twp.
“We were so glad to have him. He worked so hard,” Brown said. “If you just knew Mark, you would like him. He could do things that nobody else could do. We’re still in shock over this.”
Campbell is survived by his wife and two young sons.
Around 12:50 p.m. Tuesday, a two-vehicle crash was reported involving a car and pickup truck.
A car was stopped at the traffic signal and preparing to turn northbound onto Dryden Road when the truck hit it, said West Carrollton police Deputy Chief David Wessling.
When officers arrived, they found two people with injuries. It was later determined Campbell suffered fatal injuries.
The deputy chief described the pickup truck driver’s injuries as “major” on Tuesday.
The crash remains under investigation by West Carrollton police.
“Speed could be a factor,” Wessling said Tuesday. “That is going to come later with the investigation.”
