Kevin Thompson Obituary
07/12/1985 - 08/11/2024
Kevin Nelson Thompson passed away on Sunday, August 11, 2024 at the age of 39. The son of the late Kay and Larry Thompson Sr, Kevin was born in Dover and grew up in Smyrna before eventually settling in Camden-Wyoming with his family.
Like his father Larry, Kevin had a passion and talent for working in construction, a career which he pursued throughout his life, working diligently at and even serving as foreman at various sites and companies. He was a jack of all trades, had many talents, and could often be found lending a helping hand to one of his family members. Outside of his career in construction, he truly loved to spend time with his children and enjoyed game nights, amusement parks, and trips with his siblings, sons, and nieces and nephews. He had many hobbies including assembling model airplanes and helicopters and flying drones. Despite his competitiveness, he had fun playing video games and board games with friends and family in his free time. Another of Kevin's passions and hobbies was motorcycles; he created many memories taking his sons for bike rides as well as riding motorcycles with his father and friends, even attending Bike Week in Florida.
Kevin was preceded in death by his loving parents, Kay Thompson and Larry Thompson Sr. He is survived by his two children, Jordan and Chase, whom he loved dearly, his sisters, Carolyn M. Jones and Kelly K. Thompson, his brother, Larry W. Thompson Jr., and his nieces and nephews, Kayla, Cole, Kristopher, Karly, Dylan, Keira, Troy, Aiden, Kara, Larry III, and Henry. Through his struggles and the most trying times in his life, he loved his family fiercely and did his best to support them as well as he could.
Funeral services will be held at Faries Funeral Home at 29 S. Main Street, Smyrna, DE 19977 on Saturday, August 24, 2024 with visitation at 11 AM and memorial services beginning at 12 PM. Burial will be private.
