Steve was preceded in death by his son Shane Thompson; parents James Thompson and Joyce English; sister Pat Darnell; brothers Randy Thompson, Jimmy Lee Thompson, and Larry Mayes. Steve was a devout Christian Man, who loved everybody. He had a heart of gold and met no strangers. If you met him you had a friend for life, and you were better because of that friendship. He loved his family more than anything. His granddaughters and his daughter were his world. His wife Vickie was his rock and his constant companion. Steve enjoyed hunting, sitting by a fire pit, country music and putting his toes in the sand on the beach. He will be continually missed by everyone who knew him for the rest of their lives. Survivors include his wife Vickie Lynn Thompson; daughter Stephanie Conley and her husband Matt and their children Shayna and Addie; sisters Pam Stofleth, Tami Pepper, and Tonya Littlepage; sister in law Mildred Hobbs; brother Clifford Thompson; host of nieces and nephews.
