Mr. Thompson was born on May 22, 1965, in Macon, Georgia, to the late Mr. Rudolph Alton Thompson and Mrs. Peggy Mae Ritch Thompson (Step-Father Charles Roland). He was employed with Wingate Ford in Perry, where he worked in the Parts Department. His knowledge and many years of experience in Ford vehicles were evident in his strong work ethic and dedication to his role. Outside of work, Mr. Thompson found great joy in traveling, whether seeking the peaceful beauty of the mountains or the warmth of the beach. He was a devoted enthusiast of Ford Mustangs, taking immense pride in restoring several vehicles with patience and expertise.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Thompson was preceded in death by his wife, Deanna Hendrix Thompson; grandparents Louise and Paul Ritch, Bessie and Horace Thompson.

Left to cherish Mr. Thompson’s memory are his children, Paul Thompson (Raegan), Morgan Cortes, Peyton Thompson, and Step-Daughter Avree Dean (Chandler); grandchildren, Lorelai Corley, Palmer Thompson, Wallace Corley, and Whitley Thompson; brothers Dave Thompson, Danny Thompson (Kaye); nieces and nephews Ashley Gassett (Brandon), Jennifer Sark (Jamie), Andrew Thompson (Andrea); Mother of his children and previous spouse Denise Thompson; and dearest friends Chris Jackson (Beverly), and Bob Gray. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.
