Ret. USAF Col. Brent Thompson, 90 years of age and a long-time resident of Cadiz, KY, passed away on October 19, 2020, in Natchitoches, LA. He was born on October 4, 1930 to Veachil Ira Thompson and Lucille M. Higgason Thompson in Donansburg, KY. He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Risë Carol Thompson; sisters, Iris Catherine Thompson and Freda Holt; and a brother, Rex A. Thompson.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Dorothy Spencer Thompson; son John Mark Thompson and wife Ami; grandchildren, Katherine Thompson, Rebecca Doles, Stephen Thompson, Whitney Conlon, Ashley Spencer; great granddaughter, Alice Harper Hodges; nieces, Jill Miller, Cathy Holt and Debbie Holt; and a nephew, Kenny Holt.
Brent earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from the University of Kentucky and later earned a Master of Science in Education from the University of Kentucky. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War and retired with the rank of Colonel after concluding his service as an admissions counselor for the U.S. Air Force Academy. In 1957 he began working for Trigg County Farmers Bank in Cadiz, KY and eventually became President and retiring in 1989 as Chairman of the Board and CEO. Brent was an avid University of Kentucky basketball fan and in his spare time enjoyed reading, gardening, and listening to music. He will always be remembered as a loving husband and a good provider for his family. He will be dearly missed but we take comfort in knowing we will be reunited with him one day in heaven.
