It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Russel Thompson, who departed from this life on January 8, 2026. Born on January 26, 1976, Russel lived his 50 years with immense courage, kindness, and a zest for life that was contagious to all who knew him.

He leaves behind a loving family to cherish his memory. His mother, Barbara Thompson, sisters Eileen Schellinger and Elizabeth Thompson are bound to remember him as a loving son and brother. Russel was a beloved father figure and his legacy is carried forward by his children Justin Talady, Andrew Thompson, Autumn Star Thompson, Aeribella Thompson, Ashton Thompson, Aidan Thompson, and Sawyer Thompson. The family bond strengthened through shared memories and love will keep Russel's spirit alive in their hearts forever.

He was predeceased by his father, James Thompson, whom we trust has welcomed Russel into eternal rest with open arms.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Russel's honor on May 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus. The family welcomes all those who knew Russel to join them in paying their respects and celebrating a life well-lived. His was a journey marked by laughter, the warmth of kinship, and a heart that embraced all.

Russel Thompson's indomitable spirit, his joyous laughter, his deep love for his family, and his steadfast friendship will be dearly missed and forever remembered.
