We bid farewell to Richard Thompson of Boone, North Carolina, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on September 9, 2025 at the age of 72. Richard touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
Though his name may fade from the lips of time, the imprint Richard leaves upon the hearts of his loved ones remains eternally vivid — a testament to the depth of his spirit and the richness of his legacy.
He is survived by: his wife Jan; his children, David of Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child, Derick and Tiffany; and his siblings, Jeff and Lynda. He is also survived by six grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers and gifts, Rick's wife, Jan, invites everyone to honor Rick's life by giving to some ministries he loved: The Greatest Journey, our son David's ministry at Samaritan's Purse/Operation Christmas Child.
