In loving memory of Graeme Campbell.
On Thursday September 3rd 2020, Graeme Campbell loving husband and father of two sadly died aged 51 in Derby Royal hospital.
Graeme was born in July 1969 and lived his early years in a small village called Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire. After leaving school in 1985 he headed straight for work in the Bank of Scotland in Aberdeen but worked across many branches in Aberdeenshire for many years. He became a Member of The Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland in 1995 and became a fully certified in Mortgage Advice and Practice in 2000. He stayed with The Bank of Scotland for 27 years until 2012, when he was unfortunately made redundant during the banking crisis. In 2018 he joined PD Financial Management, which he enjoyed working for as much as he had done in the Bank of Scotland.
Graeme moved down to England in late 2003 along with Fiona whom he had met in Aberdeen in 2001. On August 24th 2007 he married Fiona Blaiklock. They had a son Dylan in 2008 and daughter Erin in 2010.
Graeme had a passion for football from a very early age and played for various teams in Aberdeenshire. After he decided to stop playing football he decided to take up referring and passed his refereeing course in 2002. He really enjoyed refereeing for the Staffordshire League and was highly respected as a "great ref "by the teams he officiated for. Following in his fathers footsteps he managed his son Dylans football team. Even to the end he was wanting to go and watch Dylan and his team play. He was a quiet, kind, gentle man, everyones friend and had a great sense of humour and infectious smile.
He will be greatly missed by Fiona, Dylan and Erin and his parents Alan and Arlene and brother Bruce and other family and friends.
Fiona, I often think of you and the children and hope you are doing ok. This year my Christmas card donation is going to this cause. My sincere condolences to you and your lovely children and hope your husbands memories will carry you all through this difficult time. Take care all of you . The Ulyett family x
Graeme was a top guy and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
In loving memory of a wonderful son. Love Mum xxx

G, you’ve left a big void in so many peoples lives which just shows what a true gent you were. Always there to listen, always had a smile, nothing was to much to ask and no was never an answer. I’ll miss the footie banter and the laughs at our attempts to play golf. We never got to have that next beer that we so looked forward to. Rest in peace pal xxx

I had an amazing 48 years with you and some amazing memories,holidays and football banter on and off the field.
You will be sorely missed in life and you were loved by many.
So sad and sudden but I will always remember you 'Bro'...!

Graeme...one of the nicest and humbling men we had the pleasure of knowing. Loving husband to dear Fiona and fantastic daddy to Dylan and Erin, leaving this life far too soon in the most cruelest way; now you can rest in peace having fought your evil battle with braveness, courage and dignity. You will be so sorely missed, by so many. Always in our thoughts. Fly high. Love Jo, Tony, Ellie & Sienna 💙xx
Love to all
From all at Mvh Tri Club
So sorry to hear about your loss Fiona, take care my dear, love Angie Keith x
With all our love and in our thoughts. Xxx
I had known Graeme for many years officiating on the Staffordshire County Senior League and every game was a pleasure. Graeme was always the most polite of chaps.....almost a little to nice to be a referee...but always a conscientious and dedicated fellow who often shared a joke regarding his love of Scottish football. The shock of Graeme’s passing takes a lump out of one, realising that one so young should depart...rest in peace my friend...we shared many good times
Graeme was a member of the Referees panel on the Staffordshire County Senior League for a number of years. In all his time on the panel of Referees I had the pleasure of working with Graeme as the Referees Appointment secretary. Graeme was always willing to officiate a game when ever possible and travel any distance without a second thought. I can honestly say that it was a pleasure to have Graeme on our panel of Referees. He is a great loss to his family and the many friends he made within the S C S L
Lots of very happy memories from our Bank of Scotland days. Graeme (Grazza) Campbell was one of the best and the most loyal friend ever. A genuinely lovely man who was taken far too soon.
Our thoughts are with Fiona, Dylan, Erin, Alan, Arlene & Bruce xxx
