His mother, father and sister, Doris (Eagle) Thompson, predeceased him.

Many members of his extended family, and countless friends and business associates, all of whom share in the loss of his passing also survived him. His family would like to offer their sincere appreciation to those who compassionately cared for him in his final days, including Sharon Browning and "CeCe" Spencer at St. Vincent's Medical Center. A viewing will be held on Thursday, November 8, 2012 from 5:00 – 7:00 P.M. at Jacksonville Memory Gardens, 111 Blanding Blvd, Orange Park, Clay County, FL, followed by a funeral service on Friday, November 9 at 2:00 P.M.
