Lucius's obituary
Lucius Thompson, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and son, passed away leaving behind a legacy built on love, loyalty, and hard work. Born to the late Elnora and Booker T. Thompson, Lucius lived a life grounded in strong values and unwavering dedication to those he loved.
He was the beloved husband of Mary Louise Sherman Thompson — his best friend, his most valuable and greatest person in life. Their bond was one of deep respect, enduring love, and true partnership. Together, they built a life centered around family, faith, and support.
Lucius was a proud and loving father to two beautiful children, Kenya Thompson and Corey Thompson. His love for them was limitless, and his guidance shaped their lives in meaningful ways. He was also a deeply cherished grandfather to seven grandchildren — Shamari, Taliah, Naimah, Rashad, Tamia, Jadah, and Sanjay — each of whom brought him endless joy and pride.
In his later years, Lucius’s heart expanded even more with the arrival of his two great-grandchildren, Tahri and Kazi. He loved them dearly and cherished the laughter and light they brought into his life.
Lucius was a hardworking family man who lived every day with purpose and devotion. His family was his everything — the center of his world and the reason behind all that he did. He worked tirelessly to provide, protect, and uplift those he loved, and until his very last breath, his heart beat for his family.
He will be remembered not just for what he did, but for how he lived — with love, strength, humility, and grace. Lucius Thompson’s legacy lives on through his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and through the countless lives he touched along the way. His memory will forever be held close in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
