His brother, Ricky, said the family is taking his death \u201cone step at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A memorial service for Temores is scheduled for Thursday at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek\u2019s Gator Theater. It is not open to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nov. 30 incident and the resulting involuntary homicide charge against Campbell follows a string of domestic violence-related charges and tangles with law enforcement that Campbell has faced during the last decade, according to interviews and police records.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link
