William Campbell III
July 3, 1985 – November 29, 2022
CAMPBELL, William III, age 37, affectionately known as Buggy, Fatboy, Bill, or Billy, of Richmond, VA passed away Tuesday, November 29, 2022. Buggy was a big-time jokester. He always had a joke to tell and made anyone laugh. He loved his family more than anything and would give the shirt off his back for his friends.
Survivors include his parents, William and Brenda Campbell, his sister Michelle Johnson (Kenneth and nephew Hunter) and the love of his life, Desiree Campbell and children, and many extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his sister Betsy “Candy” Evans, and his grandparents.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, December 10, 2022, at Affinity Funeral Service, 8074 Mechanicsville Tnpk, Mechanicsville, VA 23111. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you share an act of kindness, in Buggy fashion because he really would have done anything for anyone.
I love you little big brother.
I will miss your smiling face Little Billy.

May you be at peace now! Love you always!

Please watch over me and my children and your family since you are now one of our guardian angels
Mike & Billy were two of the first people I met at CCS. I hadn’t seen Billy in several years but remember his welcoming and funny personality. My late husband and I also ran into Billy several times fishing on the James near Rockets Landing and had many laughs over what we were/weren’t catching. My heartfelt condolences to his friends and family.
I love you Buggy you were and will always be my ride or die I remember spending so many nights at your house and always getting on Michelle’s nerves lol you will always be my brother and I will never forget strong bond. You will be greatly missed Till we meet again I love you please tell Betsy I said hey and I kiss her as well
