Happy Meal Expert, Has Died Suddenly...........

A McDonald's worker of 27 years, aka 

the Happy Meal expert, has died suddenly.

Chris Campbell, who has Down syndrome 

and was without life insurance, died Monday, 

his former boss, Kellie Vander Veur, 

told Fox News on Wednesday.

“He was a very happy guy,” she said. 

“He was thrilled we recognized him.”

He was recently honored by the  

Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta (DSAA) 

for dedication to his work at an Atlanta-area 

McDonald’s, where he had been employed for 

nearly three decades.

His family has created a GoFundMe page to 

raise money to pay for his funeral.

Campbell is described as "a boy scout, church acolyte, community volunteer, McDonald's employee, 

loving son, grandson, brother, uncle and friend. 

He was so special in so many ways to so many people."

 

Since 1983, the life expectancy for people with 

Down syndrome has increased by 35 years, 

from 25 to 60, DSAA says. There are 400,000 

people in the U.S. with Down syndrome, 

according to its website.
