October 24, 1987 - September 20, 2019
Andrew Will Thompson, 31, of Haskell, dearly loved son of Steven and Julie Thompson, passed away Friday, September 20, 2019. He was born October 24, 1987 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Tom and Kitty Thompson of Benton, Arkansas and Terrence and Betty Coppack of Chester, England.
Will is survived by his parents; son, Gus Thompson; daughter, Lili Thompson; and sister, Sophie Thompson Myers (Andrew) of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
His memory will be forever cherished, and his legacy will continue on through his family and many others who loved him dearly.
Will was smart, funny, and sensitive, and was always on the side of the underdog. He had a tender and generous heart and had may friends.
He loved animals and the family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to The Saline County Humane Society, 7600 Bauxite Hwy, Bauxite, AR 72011.
A memorial service will be held at 6:00 p.m. Thursday, September 26, 2019 at Little Rock Church, 10701 Baseline Road, Little Rock, AR 72209.
This may be odd to post, almost four years after his death, but I think about Will pretty often and we miss his presence in the world. As we near this anniversary, I pray peace surrounds his family.
