Campbell is currently serving in the military (Task Force Hammer) in Afghanistan.
Campbell wrote to John Barron, PHS football coach, asking for a PHS or Rockies flag that he could fly to remind him of home.
Barron — along with the “team mom” Lori Day — was able to purchase a flag through fundraising money.
They also contacted Linda Jacobson through the FOP for help. Jacobson was instrumental in putting together a “goodies” box for Campbell as well.
Barron said during his career on the team, Campbell was an extremely hard worker, very focused, and team oriented.
“He was a leader for us. David made the most of his ability,” Barron said.
