Timothy Thompson

Timothy James Thompson, age 73, passed away surrounded by his family on July 19th at Banner Estrella Hospital. He is survived by his wife Carol of 43 years, son Bradley, and daughter Kimberly. When Tim retired in October, 2016, from his 30 year Electrical Engineering career at Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant, he became ill with an aggressive form of cancer. After many unsuccessful medical procedures, his cancer became treatable with a “miracle" research drug from Australia. He enjoyed retirement for an extra five years until he developed Covid pneumonia which led to respiratory failure. Tim was born on July 15, 1949, in Cleveland, Ohio to Forrest and Robert Thompson. He is survived by his brother John (wife Kris deceased), two sisters, Irma (husband Art), and Ann (husband Frank), brother-in-law of Mary Lou McCann (husband Tom deceased) as well as many nieces and nephews. Brad and Kim were the light of his life! However, so was everyone else in the family, including his dog and grand-dogs! His passion was helping others. Anyone who wanted to buy a new camera, car, camper, or needed advice on home repairs, questions on interpreting the National Electrical Code or any other subject, just had to ask. Tim was the research person everyone went to. He will be forever in our hearts! Please join us for a Memorial Service at Trinity Lutheran Church and School, 830 East Plaza Circle, Litchfield Park, AZ, on Saturday, August 27, at 10:45 a.m. with a luncheon following. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to Trinity Lutheran Church Youth Ministry or to Research at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center. Interment of ashes will be a private service at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery in Cleveland, OH.
