Guy Malcolm Campbell
February 20, 1942 – October 19, 2026

Our dear Guy, husband brother, brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, business owner, friend, and neighbour, died on October 19th at age 84 of a brain tumour. Guy and his father established Malcolm & Son Ltd., an industrial equipment sales and service company, in Vancouver in 1961. In the 45 years it operated, the company expanded to 5 branches in Western Canada. During their marriage, Guy and Kathryn built a cabin at Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island, and used their Cessna airplane to commute back and forth from Vancouver. They also joined and were members of the Vancouver Police Department Reserve Force for many years. They sold the Fanny Bay Cabin, bought a trawler, joined Burrard Yacht Club, and enjoyed twenty years of exploring the B.C. Coast. They also bought a cabin in Sointula, on Malcolm Island to use for winter visits and a base for summer cruising. To expand their adventures, they also bought an RV and commenced an idyllic life of summer boating and winter exploration in the U.S. Southwest. In 2021, ready for a change, they moved to Vernon, B.C., and enjoyed getting to know Guy’s nephew and family.

The following poem, written by Ross Wallace, a family member, captures the essence of Guy:

Guy Campbell
Was a good man
A fierce warrior
From the Campbell Clan

An adventurer
By many means
Flying his Cessna plane
Through the skies

Truly a man
Of the ocean
Exploring Inlets and Islands
On the West Coast
Truly a dream for most

Travelling the roads and highways
In his motor home
Through mountains, valleys, and plains
looking for new destinations
For enjoyment to claim

With all the excitement
Discoveries and wonder
Of his travels
It is enough
To write a book!

Thank you, Ross. Guy was indeed a fine man with adventurous spirit. He will be forever remembered by all who knew him.
