Walter B. Thompson

September 1, 1931 - December 29, 2019

Walter B. Thompson passed from this earthly life on December 29th, 2019, at the age of 88. He was born September 1st, 1931, in Waco, TX to Mamie and Walter B. Thompson Sr. Walter (Sonny) was the epitome of a man that had spent his lifetime walking with the LORD, his commitment, and devotion to his wife and his family were as solid as the strongest of any foundation built. His life was built on honesty and integrity as a leader in the church, an elder of about 50 years, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, a great-great grandfather, a brother, a friend, a carpenter, and a humble servant of the Lord. He was a home builder by trade, and a soul seeker by choice. Walter was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Mamie Thompson, his sister, Violet Dent; brothers Robert Thompson, and Glen Thompson, and son-in-law William Pruett. He is survived by his wife Etta Pauline Thompson whom he cherished for 69 years, 5 precious daughters and 1 special son and their spouses; daughter Glenda and husband Tony Quintana; daughter Pat Pruett; daughter Kaye and husband Richard Sandifer; son Walter and wife Amy Thompson; daughter Caren and husband Jim Chapman; daughter Kathleen and husband Bill Lackey; numerous grandkids, great grandkids, great-great grandkids and a very large extended family. He was a blessing to everyone who knew him and will be dearly missed, but he fought the good fight and has earned his reward.
