WWJ-AM (Detroit) reporter and anchor Mike Campbell, who spent decades telling stories in Metro Detroit, has died.  Campbell passed away last Sunday (6/8) at age 65.

"We are deeply saddened to learn of Mike Campbell's passing. Mike was more than a colleague at WWJ Newsradio 950; he was a friend to us all and a trusted voice for our listeners, bringing the stories of Detroit and Southeast Michigan to life. We are truly heartbroken by this loss and extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends," said WWJ news director Rob Davidek in a statement.

Other staffers at the station described him as a "fearless reporter, with unique style."

In a statement, Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingell said, "I'm deeply saddened to hear of Mike Campbell's passing. He was a journalist of great integrity and professionalism, and he will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing or working with him. My thoughts are with his family, both at home and at WWJ."

Campbell's wife Terri shared a heartfelt tribute on Facebook, writing in part "I am so lucky to have had someone who loved me and our family so much. I am praying that it is his love that will get us all through this."

Mike Campbell graduated with a degree in economics and a minor in journalism from Northern Michigan University in 1982 and also studied at the Specs Howard School of Media Arts in Southfield.
