Suddenly at his home on 16th September 2025, Rory aged 40 years of Padiham. The adored son of Carol and the late Duncan, loving dad of Harvey and Milo, loved brother of Leah and Alistair, step-son of Anne and a dearly loved uncle, relative and friend to many.
Rory was the life and soul of the party and he had an energy that would fill up the room as soon as he entered. A true people magnet, people were naturally drawn to him and he could chat away about anything to anyone, always keeping people entertained with his quick whit and amazing sense of humour. He spent his working life as a boiler engineer spending many years working for British Gas before embarking on a self employed career. He loved his work and made many good friends throughout his career. Cooking came naturally to Rory and he loved nothing more than spending time in his kitchen with his favourite tunes on singing away whilst creating his latest culinary masterpiece, which would always be posted on his social media account under the heading, ‘Only at Campbells’. He adored his two sons and he was so proud when he was able to take them to Disney and they also enjoyed an overnight trip to London. Rory also enjoyed many other wonderful holidays when he would share his time between relaxing in the warm sunshine with exploring and enjoying the local cultures.
Rory was loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, he lived his life by his mantra ‘One Life, No Replay’ and he would want you all to do the same.
Family flowers only please. Donations can be made in Rory’s memory on behalf of Cancer Research UK.
