Where Heritage and Life are celebrated.

Ricardo Miguel Campero

September 29, 1928- September 11, 2020

Ricardo Miguel Campero, 91, of Knoxville, Iowa, passed away on September 11, 2020, in Maryland.  He was born September 29, 1928, in Potosi, Bolivia, and was the son of the late Juan Campero and Antonia (Romero) Campero.  His family later moved to La Paz, Bolivia, where he grew up.  As a young adult, in 1957, Ricardo immigrated to America to follow his sweetheart from Bolivia, Nelly Richards, who had previously come to America to study nursing.  They married on January 25, 1958, and lived and worked in New Jersey and New York City.  He was very proud of his United States citizenship.  Shortly after their children were born, they decided to move to Knoxville, Iowa, to raise their family in a quieter, small town setting.  Ricardo was an Accountant, working many years for Des Moines Steel Company, Contel Telephone and finished his career at the 3M company in Knoxville, Iowa.

In retirement, Ricardo and Nelly spent their time working as Walmart greeters, volunteering at Head Start children’s program, and spending time in Maryland with his beloved grandchildren.  Ricardo loved drawing, painting, playing games, dancing, enjoying music and learning to play the guitar late into his 80’s.  Ricardo was well known in his adopted Iowa community and was very active in Church, Kiwanis, the local library, the local Senior Center, Knoxville High School sports team events and many fellowship groups.  Ricardo was a faithful servant of Christ and was a member of St. Anthony’s Church in Knoxville, Iowa and also attended the Church of Christ in Knoxville.

In late 2019, Nelly and Ricardo moved from Iowa to be with their daughter Mary and her family in Owings.  They enjoyed spending time at the North Beach Senior Center and taking walks with family.

Ricardo was very proud of his Bolivian (Inca) heritage and could often be found dancing to Bolivian music at home and at social events with the love of his life, who he called “Nellicita” or “Mi Vida,” which in English translates to “My Life!”  Ricardo was always known as a gentleman and a gentle man.  He was a one-of-a-kind personality and loved food, family, friends, and fellowship.  He was the epitome of the “American Dream.”

Ricardo is survived by his wife, Nelly (Richards) Campero; his son, Michael John Campero and his wife, Barbara, of Iowa City, Iowa; daughter, Mary (Campero) Berkley and her husband Bruce Berkley, of Owings, Maryland, and his 3 beloved grandchildren, Gabriela (Gabi) Berkley; Grant Berkley; and Katie Berkley also of Owings.  He is also survived by his brother, Carlos Campero of La Paz, Bolivia.  He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings Freddy, Nelly Abaroa, Jorge and Emilio Campero.

Although Ricardo will be missed by his family and many friends, his wife, Nelly, has been comforted by the outpouring of kindness to her during this difficult time.  Ricardo was the pillar of our family and will be greatly missed.

The service for Ricardo will be live streamed on the Rausch Funeral Home Facebook Page starting at 2:55 PM. The service will start at 3:00 PM and can be viewed by using the following link. https://www.facebook.com/RauschFH

    To Nelly and the Berkley Family-
    Thank you for allowing us to spend time with Ricardo over the past several years. Our memories will be of watching Nelly and Ricardo sitting together in the big chair (both in and out of sleep), hand in hand, while the ball dropped to usher in a New Year; of seeing them dance together; of hearing the stories of Ricardo chasing Nelly relentlessly all the way to America; and, of trying to decipher just what Ricardo was trying to draw during some very entertaining family game nights! The world needs more people like Ricardo: tender-hearted, humble, thoughtful, and encouraging. He was such a blessing to our whole family and this upcoming September 29th when we celebrate our youngest daughter’s 16th birthday, we’ll cut an extra piece of lemon cake in honor of his 92nd! We know that God is providing the comfort and peace only He can give! We love you all and will continue to lift you up in prayer.
    John, Ramona, Gabriella, Natalie, and Melody

Hap really enjoyed working with him at 3M — he was a wonderful man. Mary so much enjoyed knowing both of you from church and running into you around town. You both were always eager to ask about Hap and I and our family, how we were doing and what was new for us. We really enjoyed our short spontaneous meetings and conversations. Blessings to all of you. Thanks for sharing his greatness with us. We will miss his kindness and beaming smile.

    Dearest Nelly, Mary and family. We are so saddened by the death of Ricardo, our deepest condolences to everyone of you. Ricardo was a blessing to all who knew him, he was so friendly and kind, always smiling. Every time we spoke on the phone he always ended his conversations by saying “bendiciones Adelita, te queremos mucho”. Heaven has gained another angel. The consolation is that death is not the end, it is only a passing – like going through a door to somewhere new; and having those you loved, patiently waiting on the other side, ready to greet you and welcome you. The people that we love are intertwined in the fabric of our lives even beyond death. May Good grant you the peace that passes all understanding until you meet your beloved Ricardo again.

    Dearest Nelly, Mary and family. We are so saddened by the death of Ricardo, our deepest condolences to everyone of you. Ricardo was a blessing to all who knew him, he was so friendly and kind, always smiling. Every time we spoke on the phone he always ended his conversations by saying “bendiciones Adelita, te queremos mucho”. Heaven has gained another angel. The consolation is that death is not the end, it is only a passing – like going through a door to somewhere new; and having those you loved, patiently waiting on the other side, ready to greet you and welcome you. The people that we love are intertwined in the fabric of our lives even beyond death. May Good grant you the peace that passes all understanding until you meet your beloved Ricardo again.

    Nelly, Mike and Mary I am so sorry for loss of Ricardo. He was such a kind and good man, husband and father and neighbor. My heart breaks for you.
    He was surely a fighter in the last few years.
    All my love to you all and may Ricardo rest in peace until you all meet again.

    Condolences to the Campero family. Nelly, you and my mom, Mert Hollingsworth, worked together many years at the V.A. Hospital. You were mom’s favorite nurse to work with and our family always had a great respect for you and Ricardo.

    When we moved into our home, Ricardo was the first person to approach me and welcome me to the neighborhood. He was never without a smile and was so kind and gentle. He will truly be missed.
