Sunday the Thompson family suddenly lost a beloved husband, dad, and poppa.
As a child, he loved to spend time with his brothers, sisters, and cousins. He had a special love for his grandfather Jesse Thompson and loved to tell stories of what a great impact he had on his life. Johnny loved the outdoors. At a young age he discovered his passion for hunting and fishing. He raised champion hunting dogs and loved spending time in the fields with them. When he was 21 years old, he met the love of his life Linda Marie Thompson at a drive in restaurant and the rest is history. They married in November of 1966 and made their home together in Collinwood, TN where they raised their two children. Johnny worked at Murray Ohio in the paint department for many years of his adult life, but decided to make a career change in his 50’s. He chose real estate and found great fulfillment and success in his work. In 1995, Johnny and Linda moved to Lawrenceburg, TN where they eventually built a home on a small farm in Flatwoods. Johnny and Linda shared a love for antique cars and loved to travel to car shows together. Johnny also loved to work a garden and spent countless hours watching football, baseball, and NASCAR. Johnny loved to spend time with his grandkids on the farm and never missed an opportunity to show them how much he loved them. Johnny was an honest, hardworking man who dedicated his life to God, his family, and friends. Johnny was a great storyteller, who loved to sit with his family for hours sharing memories from his life. He was a very selfless and giving man who had a heart of gold. Johnny was also an active member of the Masonic Lodge No. 542 in Lawrenceburg, TN.
Johnny was preceded in death by his parents, Hubert Edward Thompson and Gertrude Robertson Thompson; his brother, Billy; and his sister, Charlene.
The family will receive friends from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM Thursday, February 04, 2021, at Neal Funeral Home. Interment will follow at Lawrence County Memorial Gardens in Lawrenceburg, TN.
