Robert Thompson Obituary
Robert Lee Thompson, born on January 8, 1960, in Norfolk, Virginia, passed away peacefully on December 27, 2025, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at the age of 65.
Robert was a dedicated automotive painter who possessed a deep passion for cars. His skilled hands and meticulous attention to detail left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of witnessing his work. His love for automobiles extended far beyond his professional life, as he spent countless hours admiring and working on cars in his personal time.
He was preceded in death by his father, William Thompson. He is survived by his loving mother, Carole Thompson, and his devoted brother, Thomas Thompson. Robert will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who cherished his gentle spirit and generous heart.
Services to honor and celebrate Robert's life will be held at a later date. He will be remembered fondly for his quiet strength, his unwavering dedication to his craft, and his enduring love for those he held dear.
Simply Cremation is assisting Robert's family with the arrangements.
