Halton Washington, Jr.

Halton Washington, Jr. departed this life on October 30, 2026, in Macon, GA. He was born on March 11, 1959, in Milwaukee, WI, to Halton Washington, Sr. and Annie J. Washington.

From an early age, Halton discovered his passion for cooking. At just eight years old, he learned by watching his mother in the kitchen. Before long, he was preparing cheese sandwiches for his brothers and sisters, unknowingly beginning a lifelong journey that would become one of his greatest gifts. The kitchen was his happy place, and feeding others was one of the ways he expressed his love.

Halton attended Homestead High School in Mequon, WI, and later served in U.S. Army Reserve. Following his military service, he pursued his passion for cooking at the New Orleans School of Cooking and returned to Milwaukee, where he continued developing his culinary talents. He also earned his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) after attending Diesel Truck Driver Training School in Sun Prairie, WL.

On January 25, 2005, Halton accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior during a men’s breakfast at New Testament Church of Milwaukee. His faith became an important part of his life and the foundation for the way he served others.

Throughout his career, Halton worked as a chef for several respected organizations in the Milwaukee area, including the Hilton Hotel, Mequon Country Club, and River Lane Inn. He also worked at Hal’s Rib House, helping his parents operate their family business. His culinary journey took him beyond Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico, where he served as a chef for Ensco Offshore Catering. Later, he worked for Dennis & Taylor Company, a major construction company in Atlanta, GA, where he retired and was the company’s lead trainer for new CDL drivers.

In 2013, Halton and Sandra were married. He later relocated to Georgia, where Halton became a faithful member of New Mercies Christian Church. He was actively involved in the transportation ministry, joyfully providing rides for elderly members and ensuring they had transportation to attend Sunday morning worship services.

In 2023, Halton and Sandra retired and moved to Warner Robins, GA, where they became members of Fellowship Bible Baptist Church, and they are part of the Trailblazers ministry.

Halton was preceded in death by his father, Halton Washington Sr.; his mother, Annie J. Washington; his brother, George Washington; his son, Halton David Campbell Washington III; and his first wife, Sue Campbell, who passed away in 2009.

He leaves to cherish his loving devoted wife, Sandra D. Washington of Warner Robins, GA; his son Zachary Campbell and Isaac Campbell of Milwaukee, WI; Joshua Campbell of Ankeny, IA; and Jacob (Alexandria) Campbell; of Menomonee Falls, WI; and five grandchildren. Siblings; Sheila (Bobby) Felder; of Menomonee Falls, WI; Marcia Martin of Philadelphia, PA; Mamie (Donnie) Roberson of Brown Deer, WI; Anthony (Rebecca) Washington; of Savage, MN; and Tyrone Washington of Columbia MS; a host of nieces, nephews, related, and friends.
