Carl Thompson Obituary

On Sep. 1, 2014 Carl Thompson died unexpectedly of natural causes at the remote family hunting property in the Mat-Su Borough. Carl was born and raised in Anchorage, AK and was currently living in Anchorage. Carl graduated from Dimond High in 1971 and from Multnomah Bible College in 1978. Carl worked for B&B Tool Supply, Youth for Christ, Arctic Missions, LS Associates, and Creekside Manor. Carl was actively involved in the ministry of Sand Lake Baptist Church and also attended ChangePoint. Carl is survived by his wife: Andrea Thompson; children: Beverly Semeraro, Tauni Jensen, Alan Thompson, John Thompson, Calvin Thompson, Steven Thompson, Heaven Thompson, and Kashtin Thompson; grandchildren: Eli Semeraro, Jacob Semeraro, Emery Jensen, Riley Jensen, Lyric Thompson, and Sebastian Kolean. Memorial Service will be 6 p.m., Monday Sep 8, at ChangePoint and will be officiated by Keith Lauwers. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Carl Thompson Legacy at http://www.gofundme.com/e2c7e4 "Carl was a man who loved God, family, and hunting. (In that order!) He led his family, by example, to do the same. A man with countless talents and hobbies; which all stemmed from, and came back to, his love for God."

Carl had it figured out. He loved all Gods creations and he loved God. How do we honor Carl?? We have regrets---I could have been a better sister, daughter, son, brother, friend. So what do we do? How do we honor Carl? Do we make up our minds to be the best we can be from now on? I don't know about you but that would last about an hour before I would mess up. Then what? I believe we honor Carl by doing what he did. By developing a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ--because Carl knew that's all that really matters.

Andrea, i know Carl was your best friend and can't imagine why he would be taken from you so suddenly but there is one who knows all the reasons for everything that happens to us in this life. I pray for his comfort for you and your family. (Jer. 29:11).
I love you much my friend. I am always here and am willing to do anything I can to help.

I went to Multnomah with Carl. What a wonderful, gentle soul. What a privilege to know him. I am very sad that we are saying goodbye to him here. What joy he has with the Lord, but knowing him he is very sad for his family. Trusting your memories carry you through.
