Milton Dean Campbell was born in Plainfield, New Jersey to the lateFranklin and Isabell Campbell. He was one of 10 children. He attended andwas educated under the Plainfield School System.

On November 7, 1966 he married his former wife Gloria Campbell and tothis union four beautiful girls were born.

Milton was employed as a Brick Mason for many many years and belongedto and held an office in the Union Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers #4.He joined the Antioch Christian Church in New Brunswick, NJ under theleadership of Pastor Hannah. He loved his Creator and knew that the Lordhad worked miracles in his life and kept him through many toils and snaresdown through the years.

Milton was never a stranger to anyone he met. When he entered a roomthe atmosphere would automatically change as his mannerism whichrepresented strength, authority, peace, class and love came with him.

He had an exquisite taste for fashion and was a stylist in his own right fromhis cowboy hookups to his Tuxedo, no one could put an outfit together like“Kasim” could. He personified the black “Mr. Clean,” whereas everythinghad to be neat, clean, organized and coughing and anything of the like puta dent in his germophobe mentality. He had an immense love and passionfor family and friends but don’t get it twisted, if anyone dared to get his “jawstight” he would not fail to get them straight with the quickness. He wasFierce and fearless, “The Black God Father” respected by all, a man ofnobility who was always there to help and support anyone whenever theytook a fall. He was an attorney who never went to Law School and

embodied the qualities of the best professional Insurance SalesAgent. And no matter who you were, if something happened to you,he was sure to say, “you better get Aflack and while you’re at it getCombined too.” As he would go on to say “you never know whenyou’ll need them, no doubt you will get paid.” Kasim’s greatestpassion was his love for his horses and his stable with his grandsonTroy by his side and the Crazy Faith Riders Cowboys. You couldfind him riding his horse through the city and town streets bringingtraffic to a halt. He loved a good party and was the host of host, whowould stand at the door and present a rose or bird of paradise to allthe ladies.

If his picture was placed in the dictionary we would find it under thefollowing words, which best describe him: Warrior, Titan, Family-Oriented, Strong, Cowboy, Valiant, Protector, Reliable, Expert,Authentic, Maverick, Notorious and the list would just go on and on….

“Taxi! Taxi! Where do you want to go sir?Smooth like butter, shinning like a diamond in the rough,

knowing there would be no second coming, so a demonstrator,an enthusiast full of zeal and appeal; A precious gift depositedamong us all to share without conflict, or dispute, an advocatefighting a good fight for you, for me, for the world to see intimes like this when faith goes dim be encouraged; a starshinning ever so bright, riding amongst the clouds they call

“Crazy Faith Riders” an urban cowboy unlike the Lone Ranger,this was Kasim honorable full of integrity; A guardian

abounding in love to family and friends…even now I could hearmy dad, my uncle, my debonair, well-groomed sophisticatedhero beating on his tambourine compassionately loved and

adored the joy he brings and creates in the joy and sways of adance, or a poem the radiant outburst of his heart, the short

coming of life’s conditions so why not live and let live, standingbefore giants like dominos, they too fell to reasoning the inner

power that was exemplified as a tower, a blessing;Extra, Extra read all about it, here lies a jewel yet givinggreetings my beloved, not if you hear any noise, it’s just himand the boys, such loyalty a rarity, call him and within a blink,

a wink he arrivedTaxi! Taxi! Where you do you want to go sir?

Swing down, sweet chariot and let me ride to be absent fromthe body a urban yet rides somewhere about God’s

side…Listen can’t you hear it? The horns are celebrating theacknowledgement of the greatest that we all had the

opportunity to get to come across.
