Richard Campbell Jr.

Richard Harvey Campbell Jr., 41, died Nov. 4, 2025, in Billings.

He was born July 22, 1984, in Wolf Point to Richard Harvey Sr. and Doreen Brown.

During childhood, he spent time with family across the reservation while his father was fighting fires, including the Ackerman family (Frazer), Campbell family (Wolf Point), Robinson family (Wolf Point) and his Big Horn/ Brown families (Brockton).

He was a one-time international wrestling champion spending his 12th birthday wrestling in Tokyo, Japan. As a freshman, he was a kicker for the Wolves’ varsity football team. In high school, he was a “damn good pitcher” and first baseman for the Yellowjackets.

In high school, he worked at Taco Shack and construction with his Uncle Mackie. After graduating from Wolf
