Hunter Timothy Thompson, born January 7, 1997, passed away Friday August 28th at Regional One trauma center at the age of 23. Hunter is a graduate of St. Benedict at Auburndale (class of 2015) and the University of Memphis (class of 2019). Hunter had just finished his first year at the University Of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School Of Law. Known for his big energetic smile and bubbly personality, he instantly made friends wherever he went. He had a love for all sports, especially his Ohio State Buckeye’s and Columbus Blue Jackets. Hunter was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church where he was an usher and helped with other tasks associated with the church. We will miss Hunter’s love for comedy, concern for others, over the top passion of college sports, and beautiful personality. We will remember Hunter and his vision of life through his confirmation verse Matthew 6:34 (NIV), “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Hunter is survived by his father Tim Thompson and stepmother Kimberly Thompson, brother Hayden Thompson and sister Aislinn Parker; as well as grandparents Carol Carr and John Carr of Bartlett, Tennessee. He is preceded in death by his mother, Tami Thompson, and Grandparents Robert Fisher, Margaret Thompson, and Jim Thompson.
A funeral service will be held at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Bartlett at 2pm on Friday, September 4th. Memorials may be given on behalf of Hunter for Immanuel Lutheran School by following this link https://onrealm.org/ilcmemphis/-/give/now
