Campbell Camille Shepard

With broken hearts and unending love, we share the passing of our precious daughter, Campbell Camille Shepard, affectionately known by our family as Camby, Campbell Wamble, Nut, Monkey, Sissy, and CC, who left this world on June 9, 2025, far too soon at just under two years old.

Though her time with us was brief, Campbell’s spirit was larger than life. She had a big personality, infectious laughter, radiant smile, and joyful energy that brought sunshine into our lives. She was a little spark who made every moment brighter. Campbell loved to dance, especially to her favorite shows, The Wiggles and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, twirling with delight. She adored her three older sisters—Lennon, Finley, and Miller—and followed them with fierce determination and admiration. Whether it was kicking a soccer ball, swinging a bat, dancing in the living room, or even tagging along into timeout, Camby never missed a beat. She tried to do it all—just like her sisters—because to her, they were everything.

Her bond with each of them was unique and deep. Lennon carried her around like a little mama, Finley delighted in tickling her to make her giggle, and Miller was eager to be the first to wake her each morning by climbing into the crib. Campbell was the final piece of our family puzzle, the one who made it feel truly whole. Her absence is immeasurable, but so is the love she leaves behind.

Campbell's legacy is one of joy, light, and the purest kind of love. Though we will miss her every day, we are forever grateful for the time we had with her. She taught us to love more deeply, laugh more freely, and cherish every single moment.

Forever our baby, forever our heart. We love you always, Camby.
