Some of you may remember Roy "Redhawk" Campbell from Air Warrior on Gamestorm and AOL.
Roy has been an active member of the Damned for about 5+ years. Sadly we lost Roy Saturday May 2nd 2026
Roy Vadas Campbell, beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away Saturday, May 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Roy is survived by his devoted wife, Karen Campbell; his son, Jared Campbell; and his siblings, Leslie Colter and Oliver Travis O’Quinn. He was preceded in death by his parents, Troy Lee Campbell and Phyllis Ann Kincaid (Donnell), whom he now joins in eternal rest.
A proud Army veteran, Roy carried a strong sense of duty, honor, and dedication throughout his life. He continued his service to others as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), working at the Carter County Jail and Ivy Hall Nursing Home, where he cared for those in need with compassion and professionalism. He was also actively involved with his veterans DCS group (The Damned), maintaining strong bonds with fellow service members and offering support within that community.
Beyond his service, Roy found joy in the simple pleasures that brought him closer to those he loved. He was an avid golfer who cherished time spent on the course, and a loyal Virginia Tech football fan. One of his greatest joys was scuba diving in the Florida Keys with his son, Jared—memories that will be treasured forever.
Roy will be remembered for his love of family, his boisterous humor, his quiet strength, and the lasting impact he made on those around him. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, May 7, 2026 from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM at Tetrick Funeral Home, Elizabethton. The graveside service and interment will follow at 2:00 PM at Mountain Home National Cemetery (Historic Section) 53 Memorial Avenue, Mountain Home, TN, 37684.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Roy’s honor to the Purple Heart Foundation (

Forever loved, always remembered.
