Joel Thompson, Christy Thompson's beloved husband and their daughters' beloved dad, passed away unexpectedly on December 4, 2025. They would benefit from our support during this extremely challenging time. Please consider a donation, large or small, to help Christy and her family.

Joel was a family man and a hard worker. He was always willing to put in work at home, for family or friends. He was equally quiet and caring, yet often shared his silly sense of humor daily. It was an understatement to say that he was liked by everyone. He loved all music, both listening and playing. In his man cave, Joel recorded and sung his own written work. Joel was an animal lover who kept many aquariums and adored his dogs over the years. He loved anything tech, building things with batteries, gaming, dinners out with “his girls,” and secret basement karaoke with his wife. He loved family vacations, camping, boating and just being together. He was the Facilities Engineer at Pillsbury Neighborhood services for 27 years. He loved working with the variety of programs and his coworkers.
