About Campbell

We were blessed to welcome Campbell Brian Doty to the world on May 23, 2005.  

Campbell was energetic, athletic, funny, brilliant, and most importantly kind.  We had the pleasure of watching him grow up and transition into an incredible young man who will be missed by all who knew him.  His smile and energy changed whatever room he was in. He was charming, witty and wise beyond his years. 

Whether it was just relaxing around the house playing video games, going to countless soccer practices and games, watching La Liga, Bundesliga, EPL and MLS soccer, visiting family in the midwest or west coast, or traveling to England, Spain, Italy and throughout the US, we were fortunate to be able to spend so much time with Campbell, creating so many wonderful memories, some of which we will share with you on this memorial site.  

He was so excited about moving to the U16 Elite Strikers soccer team, playing for U16 Futsal United, playing for the Freeman High School team in 2020-2021, going to ID camps later in the summer and getting back to school as a Sophomore with his Freeman friends. 

Campbell left us far too early due to a tragic, freak accident on Friday, July 17th, 2020. He took a hard fall Friday morning on our back driveway, which resulted in a traumatic brain injury. After 12 hours on life-support at VCU trauma center he passed peacefully Friday evening. 

We encourage you to share a funny or poignant story, picture, video or even your own direct message to Campbell to help commemorate his amazing life. We will be adding to his memorial page more and more as we can.

Dear Campbell,
We graduated high school! I wish everyone could have seen your smile as you walked across the stage. It was crazy to think out of everyone who walked across the stage that night I knew you the best. It’s been three years now and new chapters are incoming. I hope you know you’re with me always.
love,

Cam,

It isn't easy to wrap my head around that you've been gone for almost three years (two years and ten months). You were a light in everyone's life, and I wish you were here right now so I could tell you that in person. I hope you are kicking every soccer ball in heaven; say hi to Jackson and Murphy for me.

P.S. I still think I could beat you in a 1v1 :)

I love you and miss your laughter.

To say you are missed is an understatement. So many days I hear your laugh and I miss your smile and wit…. Especially when talking to Aiden.  Yesterday would have been your 18th birthday and worlds of possibilities to be planned. You touched so many in a short time, and will never be forgotten and always missed.  Happy 18th birthday…

Happy birthday! Thinking of you today, and every day really. I miss your smile, your wit and your kindness. There will forever be a heart-shaped pizza and oatmeal nutella cookies waiting for you. Save my seat at the movies and I will buy the popcorn.

You are in my heart-

Campbell I think of you more days than not. I see you in the ups and downs of our life, I wonder what you would offer up in the conversations the girls and I have and the debates… Oh and of course the political and historical contexts we argue back and forth- you’d so enjoy that I think! I see you in my garden and at the gate and talk to you the most while there… When the four of us see a cardinal come to your tree one of us always announces that you’ve come to checkin on us. I hope that’s true! These spring weeks that are flowing by lately have me thinking of your wit, authenticity, intelligence and how much you offered the world and those of us lucky enough to have time with you. So here I am wanting to wish you happy birthday and send a hug. We, especially Cadence, are missing the actuality of you but are constantly remembering the light you shared with us. Love you!

I didn’t know Campbell, I saw his story online when I was looking for some information on Freeman High School which is where my son attended also. The older I get the more crushing it is to me to read about young people who have died before their time. It looks to me as if Campbell was an only child, my son is too, and I simply don’t know how I would cope if he left us. Campbell looked to be a happy, loving, and remarkable young man. I am just so very sorry that such a terrible accident took him from you.

Dear Campbell,

Over the last two years Jess and I have gotten to know your parents much better than the previous 5 even though we've been neighbors that entire time. You have two great parents who love and cherish you very much. It's been great to get to know them, get to know you better through them and we hope to continue that relationship. It saddens us both that we didn't get to know you as well in the same way.

Thinking of you,

   Hard to believe it’s been a year since you were here. It’s even harder to think you won’t be with me as I grow up. It’s all the little things that remind me to kept going. I kept most of my promises and hope to accomplish our plans. I wish the world could see your smile again. You had this way of making everyone feel important. I miss you a lot. I love you some much and wish I told you more. Thank for being such an amazing human and for never judging me. I promise to try and smile more!

Campbell I see you at the garden gate, when I’m doing dishes and daydreaming while looking at our shared backyards, on the rocking sheep when I’m sitting in the living room and cuddling with our pups, and when we watch a movie as funny as Nacho Libre (as if there is one)… mischievous smile lighting up your eyes with a great one liner ready to burst out! The girls see you when we take out our Legos at Christmas, talk about jokes we had with you and moments that have become warm memories of us all together. I just want you to know your in my heart and still making me smile as I go about my days. Still making me laugh when I think about bacon or the love we have gotten to share with you. Thank you for letting us in to your heart, sharing your incredible parents with us and still lifting me up on days when it’s hard. I miss your hugs and feel lucky I got so many! ooxxooXoXXx

Campbell is shining above and hopefully he's put together the best soccer team Heaven can offer. What a delight he was, and how wonderful it is to remember him even in the short time we were around him. He is and was extraordinary, and how blessed he was to have you as parents. Only God could love him more than you.

We were lucky to know such an in incredible young man. He will leave an impression on our family - he was very witty, kind, and showed interest in our young children. Most recently he played soccer in the back yard with them and they loved it. A painful tragedy happened to a fantastic family - Julie and Chad are wonderful parents to Campbell. We hope to help keep his memory alive. We love you Doty's.

Campbell I’ve struggled with having the words that can possibly describe what you’ve added and how much you’ve added to my life and our memories.
You have an uncanny ability to create smiles, and reach towards people with your engaging smile, beautiful bright eyes, curiosity for learning facts and about people... Not just what they can do for you but what their hearts are about, who they are and what they love because you can do real. I love that!
You’ve stood up for yourself with humility and grace and stayed true to who you are and what you want to be about even in the hard days of teen hood and boyhood.
You’ve brought joy and laughter with such bravado and sometimes even at your own demise by using yourself as a silly prop in jokes. All to get others to smile, be positive and have a better day.
You’ve educated me on history and the roots of politics and royalty, kindly informed me on grammar oversights and have grown my heart for what a boy and a son would be like in my all girl household.
You’ve honored me by quickly accepting my momma needs and letting me be an honorary half-mom as you’ve called me. Favorite memory is the first time you honored me with that nickname... that heart string is why you will always sit in my heart.
You were bright and open and the inner light in you couldn’t help but seep out through your playful, kind and sometimes energetic YOU-ness!!
I struggle with these words. I don’t like “was”; for me you will always be. I want to use the words “are” and “is”. You won’t disappear from my memory or my heart. You will still stay as the best of what I’ve been SO honored to be part of with you. The living, very real and active silly memories of you and us will help me to smile a thousand times in the coming years... And when I do cry, which is often now, I hear you coming through the backyard gate for a snack and always leaving me with a hug or brilliant sparkling smile, a devilish grin and a chuckle. In honor of our fav movie together, I give you a Nacho Libre ooxxooXoXXx from your forever half-mom

Julie and Chad,

What a beautiful way to remember Cam!

The Brays are so heartbroken for the loss of Campbell. Our hearts go out to you and everyone that he touched in his life. Harrison was fortunate to play with him learning to be a better player through this. Harrison always said Cam never quit, he always worked hard, and always motivated others in positive way. I think for me as a parent, watching many games that they played, the biggest take away I have is how he grew into such a mature player. As we all now if you got in his way, good luck. Thankfully we were always on the same team. :-) . I noticed what a true sportsman he became. If someone was unfortunate to be in his way, he always went back to help them up or give a tap on the back. I think for me as a parent that said a lot about his character. He will truly be missed. 

Hugs to you both!

Cam,

There is nothing more heartbreaking than a life taken too soon. Know though that in your short time on this earth, you left your mark. For me, it was the way played the game you loved. You played with an edge, and I loved watching you play. What I saw in you was a love to compete, play hard, a desire to win....and that edge also translated to being a great teammate, someone you would hate to play against but would LOVE to have playing with you, shoulder to shoulder. Off the field, an infectious smile, a genuinely great kid. I really enjoyed watching you grow as a player the last 2 years, and especially enjoyed getting to know you and your parents. I hope that all that played with you can take something from the way you played the game, and carry it forward. You will be missed but not forgotten.

Chad and Julie,

Our hearts break for you. I can’t fathom the sense of loss and pain you are enduring. Take some solace in knowing that the tributes and the stories left here are only a fraction of how Cam left his impact on those who knew him.

Campbell always showed up for fun!

The Riggan family was so lucky to share many great “cut loose and be yourself” moments. He always brought enthusiasm as he joined with smiles and laughter. He was an amazing close friend to Carly for many years and took the time to listen to a soft voice to pull out her best laughter.

We met up for holidays, partied with neighbors, found each other at TES, TMS socials, Dungeons and Dragon meet ups, board games and swimming pool fun. Years of fun.  Campbell always made us laugh and smile. He was never afraid to speak up and indulge. Yet he also listened in a caring way in small settings. He spoke to me often about his love for history, travel and of course...his passion of soccer.

A special day was at Bush Gardens where Campbell reminded us all to have no fear, ride all the scary rides, and if they were insanely crazy to do them twice to compare to get the most out of it. I will always think when doing something fun, Campbell would tell me to do it again! We timed how long it takes to get a sugar rush from a piece of fudge... less than 3 seconds! 

We will personally remember Campbell for being a perfect son and true friend who followed his dreams and cared to make special those around him.  He was curious, engaging and handsome. A dear friend to all. He was guided by amazingly supportive parents who we will continue to always love.

His smile lives on in our hearts and is deeply missed by so many.

Trish Riggan and Family
Phil, Carly and Mitchell

Julie and Chad,
Our hearts continue to ache for yours as we all search for and grasp hold to our memories for comfort. Campbell was so sweet, smart, and kind - literally our boy next door. Claire and Finn looked up to him, watching and listening to him for clues about what to expect at the next level up in school and being a wonderful example of a dedicated young man pursuing excellence as a student, as an athlete, as a human. We miss him. We miss him for you and with you. We are here to support and love you through this unfathomable loss. Love and hugs, Julie, Patrick, Claire, and Finn Riley

There is really no words to express how sorry we are for the loss of Campbell. Our memories of Campbell date back to the early Richmond Striker days on the U10 Bates team. Campbell was fun to watch as he was a fearless defender with a huge smile on his face. 

There was one time at a team dinner in VA Beach where kids were being kids, if you know what i mean.. and I saw my son Sam with Campbell making paper airplanes. I want to thank Campbell for keeping him company. 

We'll miss you Campbell.. Jim, Paige, Matt, and Sam Ross

My Family and my dear nephew Cam,

I'm so grateful for the years spent with you and watching you grow into a wonderful young man. Though we share different coasts, we have been able to come together and create memories that I will cherish. I will always remember how Liam was always excited for his cousin Cam to visit and loved hearing the laughter that ensued. I remember watching Cam when he was only a few months old prior to marrying his Uncle Doug while Mom and Dad could get some alone time to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Having Cam snuggles was a great addition to our family celebration.

Funny moments include maybe or maybe not having flipped the bird in reaction to Cam saying I couldn't fly in the helicopter when I was 9 months pregnant with Liam because I wouldn't fit well (don't worry - he didn't see it but I do believe there's a picture of it happening floating out there somewhere - and he was also right...those R22's are not made for pregnant women about to pop!). I also cherish and remember you visiting us and having a water slide day out in the backyard with you and Liam. One of the best memories is taking you to a Sporting KC game with Liam...your Dad was just a tiny bit jealous. Your eyes were so big the entire time - watching a great game, great team, in the best stadium ever...

My last fond memories of you were at Wallawa lake in Oregon where we kayaked, hiked, played card games, and enjoyed each other. I'm so glad we had that chance with you and those moments with you and I know Liam holds that week he spent with you and our East-Coast Doty's in his heart and always will. He misses you greatly and I will miss the combined laughter the two of you had.

I remember how proud your Uncle Doug was when you were born and to this day remember how his eyes lit up and had this great smile when we heard you had arrived. I'm quite positive he's holding you and though knowing you are with him, it does not make this any easier kiddo.

I will always hold you in my heart and in my memories.

My work is to carry this love as comfort
for those who long for you,
to go everywhere you’ve walked and
gaze at the pressed-down dirt. - Rumi

Always your loving Aunt and Cousin,

Jes and Liam

Campbell was a wonderful young man and I am lucky to have had the pleasure of being his teacher. When I think of Campbell, the first memory that comes to mind is how he always spoke to me when he entered my classroom or when he saw me on the walkway. One day, I replied with, "What's up, Dotes?" From that point forward, that was his nickname and he would smile almost every time I said it. I never knew him to have a bad day, and if he did he never let it show. He was the friend that everyone was proud to have.

As a father of two girls, age 8 and 10 across the street it was a blessing to have a responsible young man in the neighborhood. Due to the age and gender gap I’m afraid I didn’t get to know Campbell as well as his parents. Based the professionalism and thoughtfulness of Julie and Chad I am confident Campbell demonstrated those traits and more. Sitting in our front window working, I would watch Campbell warm up for his daily wind sprints up and down our street. As a former track and soccer player I was impressed with Campbells commitment to his craft. It takes a strong heart and strong mind to show that type of grit. The future world is missing out on an outstanding exemplar.

I met Campbell at the elementary school bus stop. He had just started Kindergarten but talked very intelligently and was very mature for his age. Since our kids graduated from TES soon after, I didn’t get to see him as much recently. I remember his bright smile with big round eyes that never failed to make someone else smile. We are heartbroken to hear that he had to leave this world so soon. Julie and Chad, we extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

 I have known Campbell since elementary school. Campbell was one of the politest guy I’ve met. He was always positive and was always laughing. I remember one day we needed marbles for an activity, randomly Campbell pulled out a ton of marbles from his pocket and looked at me and we both started cracking up hysterically. I won’t forget that moment. Campbell you will be missed but not forgotten!

Dear Aunty Julie and Uncle Chad,
I don't really know what to say other than simply that I'm so sorry, although sorry isn't nearly enough. Of all my memories of Campbell the ones that are the strongest for me are just playing with him in your backyard as kids, whether shooting each other with nerf guns or dressing up as pirates for his birthday. I just remember having fun, and I can't believe he's gone.
Lots of love,

From Emerson... I remember many funny moments with Campbell. Playing soccer in the backyard, Campbell helping me practice soccer, badminton games at night, outdoor movie nights in your yard and lots of other fun times. One example of us joking around together is when you came with my family to the Easter parade on Monument Avenue. It was so much fun and we never stopped laughing as we talked and walked around downtown. On our way back the craziest thing happened as we were walking on that hot day and all sweating. My mom pointed out that on Campbell’s shirt the sweat made a mark on his back that looked like a bunny. We all laughed for some time after that. He was great at laughing together! It was so much fun and I don’t think I’ll ever forget any of the cheesy jokes or funny things he always used to say.

I have known Campbell since Elementary school. He was always a very kind, positive, smart and just an outgoing kid. He always had a smile on his face even on bad days.

I’ve known Campbell since elementary school. He always said “hi” to me and he always put a smile on my face. We really didn’t talk much until 8th grade social studies when he was the smartest person in the class! Whenever I needed help he would help me, no matter what he was doing. He was smart and nice and will be greatly missed in this world.

Dear Chad and Julie:

We are so sorry for your loss and we want to let you know that Campbell touched all of us. He was intelligent, driven, talented, humble and funny all rolled into one. He was a role model for what everyone should strive to be. Campbell was such a wonderful kid. I can not help but think of all the times I watched him play soccer. This goes back many years ago during Own Touch camps.  After a strong tackle he would always give his teammates that smile to insure them that he was there for them. He never backed down from a challenge. We learned a lot from Campbell and we are all better people because of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Campbell was a beautiful soul and the sweetest.
He will remain an extension of Julie and Chad’s loving relationship, compassion and kindness. The three of them shared a smile that Lights up a room.
Julie is a gorgeous ray of humanity & radiance of light and empathy.
Their generosity, zest for traveling and curiosity to evolve was infectious.
Much love to Chad & Julie during this devastating time. Grief is an ongoing process. Hold each other tightly. Much love.

Campbell it was great playing soccer with you. We had a lot of fun memories. I remember how I was so scared to go to middle school and you were the one who said it would all right and you would be there for me. You were so kind. Miss you - Zach Skalbeck

Our family's thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. We will remember Campbell fondly and often through soccer, band, and the coming years - The Skalbeck Family

Hello my sweet boy!
This year without you has been particularly hard!  You would have turned 18 this past May, been heading to State with the Freeman Varsity soccer team, decided on a college and working on exciting plans for your future! It's been three years since I've baked a beautiful birthday cake and had the pleasure of seeing your gorgeous grin! I missed seeing you all dressed up in a tux heading to prom with (as your Aunt B says) some sassy girl on your arm! You were so loved buggy!!  You were honored and got to play in spirit at the senior night soccer game and again you were present for High School Graduation!  I know you would be well on your way to changing the world!! Your kind heart, strong will, incredible sense of humor and emotional intelligence are missed by all who knew you! I'm doing my best to give a bit of you to special friends who are moving on to their college life, hoping maybe a part of you can experience a fun filled future through them!  And... hopefully they will share their adventures with me and your Dad!  I miss you more than life!  Please continue to safeguard my heart for me until we see each other again!! 
Love, Mom

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

May 25, 2021
Hello my beautiful special amazing son!
You just turned 16!  I made you a big cake that Kyle picked out.  You would have loved it, but who doesn't love chocolate and Nutella right?!   It would have been a fun food-filled day and seeing you that much closer to getting your drivers license! Wow, I am so blessed to have experienced so many of your firsts.  Your first giggle ,smile (what a beautiful smile!) and your first steps at 10 months . The first time in swim lessons when you went under the water and smiled from ear to ear sucking in half the pool, and when we pulled you up you didn't cry, you just giggled! Your first roller coaster when you screamed your face off then asked to go again! Your first soccer games...and the hundreds after! Your first trip to London,Spain and Italy! Your first glass of wine in Vernazza Italy 2019! There are so many memories sweet boy, too many.  I had hoped to make so many more with you and for you to go on to make so many of your own.  I gave you my whole heart, so please keep it safe for me while I wait to see you again. Happy Birthday Buggy!!!  
Love Mom

Precious Moment with Young Campbell

August 30, 2020

Before he could swim, Campbell tested the chlorinated waters at the Old Bon Air Pool.With his mouth open, showing off his space teeth and infectious grin, he floated beneath the surface as if capable of breathing under water. When raised to the surface, Campbell’ smile was wider; his laughter was precious.
