The community will pay its final respects Tuesday to Leon County Sheriff Larry Campbell, who died Christmas Eve after a long battle with cancer.

The funeral will be held at 1 p.m. at St. Peter's Anglican Church, 4784 Thomasville Road. The Rev. Eric Dudley will preside over the service. The speakers are Campbell's son, Assistant State Attorney Jack Campbell, and Campbell's close friend, former Tallahassee Police Department Chief Tom Coe.

"This is going to be a very high profile funeral for a local dignitary," said Rocky Bevis, president of Bevis Funeral Home and Crematory, which is handling arrangements. "Gov. Rick Scott is planning to attend as well as most city and county officials and law enforcement from everywhere. My guess is we'll have standing room only."

The church is providing for 1,000 seats. Video from the service will be broadcast in the narthex of the church, with audio only in the colonnades, for those who can't find seats. Bevis advised people planning to attend to head for the church early.

"I would certainly recommend they come early just so they'll be able to get safely parked and get to their seats," he said. "We'll certainly have traffic officers out there directly traffic and getting folks off the road and parked as quickly as we can."

Public parking will be available at the church and Gentle Shepherd Metropolitan Community Church, 4738 Thomasville Road, which is just south of St. Peter's.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office will escort the family from the funeral home to the church at 11 a.m. The procession will go north on Monroe Street to Interstate 10, east on I-10 to Thomasville Road, then north to St. Peter's.

The Patriot Guard Riders will have a flag line outside the church from noon until the time of the service, said Joe West, a volunteer for the group and president of Vets Event Tally. Anyone interested in participating is asked to go to the Good Shepherd parking lot between 11 and 11:15 a.m.

Campbell, 72, is survived by his wife, Machelle; his son, Jack Campbell (Krista); two daughters, Jeannette Campbell Bjorklund (Chip), and Stephanie Meghan Capps (Gary); grandchildren, Colton Laurence, Campbell James, Carsyn Taylor and Kaden John; a brother, David Ferrell (Bronwyn); and father-in-law, former Jackson County Sheriff John P. McDaniel.

Campbell's ashes will be inurned at St. Peter's, where he was a member. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in honor of Sheriff Campbell to The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. (P.O. Box 2000, Boys Ranch, FL 32064) or another charity.
