Carl W. Thompson

It is with heartfelt joy and warm remembrance that we announce the passing of Carl W. Thompson, Jr., who transitioned from this world on Dec. 19, 2024, at the age of 64. 

Born on Sept. 10, 1960, in Cincinnati, Carl spent his life in Hillsboro, where he passionately pursued his career as a cook, sharing his culinary talents and love for food with all who had the pleasure of enjoying his meals. Carl’s spirit was defined by his love for animals and his deep devotion to his family. He found immense joy in spending time with loved ones and cherished every moment spent in their company. His kind heart and gentle nature will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Carl is survived by his beloved mother, Brenda Thompson, whose unwavering support and love were a constant source of strength throughout his life; his brothers, Stephen (Tracy) Thompson of Loveland and John (Jennifer) Thompson of Lynchburg; nieces, Destiny (Eric Rowe) Thompson, Amy Poppaw and Breana Hunter; great-nieces, Emma Bettle Thompson and Sophia Thompson-Rowe; uncles, Russell Thompson and Preston Moran; special friends, Arlene Cole and Jeff Bettle; and many friends and cousins. 

Carl was preceded in death by his father, Carl Thompson, Sr., maternal grandparents, Lawrence and Ollie Salle; and paternal grandparents, John and Lisa Hines.

To honor Carl’s vibrant spirit and celebrate the joy he brought to his family and friends, a celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Thompson Funeral Home has the honor of serving the family.
