Obituary for DEXTER SWEIN CAMPBELL
Dexter Swein Campbell (Dex), the youngest and second son of Develand and Myra Monday Campbell, was born November 12, 1986 at the Columbia Hospital for Women in Washington, D.C.
DEX was educated in the Calvert County public school system, graduating from Patuxent High School in 2004. He continued his education and mastered several trades - becoming a licensed barber, licensed food manager, towing service manager, and heavy equipment operator - just to name a few of his skills.
At an early age, along with his mother, Dex joined St. John United Methodist Church in Lusby, MD, and faithfully supported the church financially into his adult life. He and his brother Develand were (are) surrounded by an extensive loving family.
DEX, an energetic and charismatic soul, gathered a large circle of friends. He loved spending time with family & friends and sharing a good laugh. His love of sports engaged him throughout his life ... boxing, baseball, basketball, football. He was a diehard Eagles fan and his favorite basketball star was Philadelphia 76'er Alan Iverson. His No. 1 boxer? - Floyd "Money" Mayweather!
Most importantly, DEX adored and treasured time with his son, Deshawn. They spent a lot of time together - eating! -at the Japanese Steakhouse and other spots. Good old fun at amusement parks was another favorite. Dexter also loved to shop with and for DeShawn, outfitting him in trendy kids' fashion. He wanted his son to always look his best ... and knew that his life was enriched by being a Dad.
DEX loved music and his playlist of favorite gospel songs include "Waiting to Turn" that says: "He has called me so many times, even more after I fail. Meeting me when I think I can't make it; To say that even he had to go through some pain. And, with this knowledge I have learned that salvation cannot be earned. And though many bridges I have burned, God is waiting for me to turn; God is still waiting his turn."
On November 1, 2014, God took his turn and escorted Dex Home.

Monday of Louisiana; host of aunts, (Barbara, Laverne, Alzenia, Freddie Mae, Deena, Annis, Yolanda, LaShanna, Paula) and uncles (Warren, Dwight Sr., Johnny Jr., Tony, Edward, Samuel, Gordon Jr., Myron, Troy); nephews, Develand Ill and Dylan Campbell, and extended family and friends.
