EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (October 29, 2025) — The community of El Paso County is reeling from heartbreak following the tragic death of Jeremy Campbell, a beloved resident whose life was cut short in a senseless act of violence earlier this week.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Campbell’s identity on Wednesday, releasing a family-provided photo that captured his familiar, easy smile — a reflection of the warmth and kindness that friends say defined him. Authorities have not yet disclosed full details surrounding the incident, but they have described it as an isolated act of violence that remains under active investigation.
Jeremy Campbell was known throughout the community as a hardworking, compassionate, and generous man, someone who always lent a helping hand without hesitation. Friends and coworkers describe him as a person who could brighten even the darkest day with his humor and calm spirit.
“He was the kind of person who made everyone feel like they mattered,” said longtime friend Rachel Mendoza. “Jeremy didn’t just talk about kindness — he lived it every single day. Losing him like this is something our hearts can’t begin to process.”
Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Campbell had deep roots in El Paso County. He worked in construction and was well-respected by his colleagues for his strong work ethic and reliability. Outside of work, he was deeply devoted to his family, especially his parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews, who adored him.
Neighbors describe Campbell as the “first one to show up” if someone needed help — whether it was fixing a broken fence, shoveling snow for the elderly, or simply checking in to make sure others were okay. “Jeremy represented the best of our community,” one neighbor shared. “He gave more than he ever took.”
As news of his passing spread, tributes began pouring in on social media, with dozens of friends, family members, and community members sharing heartfelt memories and photos. Many posts reflected on his ability to make others laugh, his humility, and his genuine care for people from all walks of life.
The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation into the circumstances of Campbell’s death and has urged anyone with information to come forward. Officials emphasized that while the incident has shaken the local community, there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
In a statement, Campbell’s family expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this unimaginably difficult time:
“Jeremy was light and laughter in human form. He loved deeply, worked hard, and treated everyone with respect. We are heartbroken, but we are grateful for the love this community has shown us. Jeremy would want us to remember the good in people — even in moments of pain.”
A memorial vigil is being planned for later this week in Colorado Springs, where friends, family, and community members will gather to honor Campbell’s life and legacy. Local churches and community centers have also opened their doors for grief counseling and support.
As El Paso County mourns, many are calling for unity, compassion, and a renewed commitment to preventing violence and supporting one another in times of crisis.
Jeremy Campbell’s life — defined by selflessness, love, and quiet strength — may have been cut tragically short, but his impact will continue to ripple throughout the community for years to come.
