Mark said one time, “PRIDE, that’s what this country needs… that’s what built America.” He showed his pride of country by enlisting in the United States National Guard during the Vietnam Era and was honorably discharged. He also took great pride and love in his family; he worked very hard to provide for them and meet their every need. In 1984, Mark turned a hobby of Street Rods into a passion over the last 30 years with the company he and his family owns and operates to this day, Street & Performance Inc., in Mena, Arkansas. Mark was also known for his drawing artwork and his leatherworking. Mark was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Mark is survived by his wife of 29 years, Lisa Campbell of Mena; two sons and daughters-in-law, Mark Damon and Michelle Campbell in Yocana, and Cobry John and Jenna Campbell of Cove; two daughters and son-in-law, Tammy and Danny Deramus of Mena and Terah Stricklin of Mena; two brothers, Charles Campbell of Mena and Arlyn Campbell of Red Oak, Texas; his mother-in-law, Fay Craig of Hatfield; brother-in-law, Kevin Craig and wife, Mary, of Lancaster, New Hampshire; five grandchildren, Jeremy and Jordan Deramus of Conway, Cooper Hughes of Mena, Carleigh Smart of Mena and Lynus Campbell of Cove; one great-grandchild, Lane McDaniel of Conway; several nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.
