Sherman Ronnie Thompson

the union of Earnest and Loretta Thompson in Boston, VA.

Sherman started working for INOVA as a security officer in his

early twenties. He was such a busy man and a hard worker that

he also worked at Reston Hospital at the same time. He loved

his jobs and remained working them both until his health forced

him to cut back.

His hobbies included taking care of his dog Neko and playing

with electronics. He was inspired by exploring new business

adventures. He took pleasure in making people laugh. His

jokes and playful moods were enjoyed by family and friends.

He was a devoted father, grandfather, mentor and a great friend

to many.

Sherman departed this life on Saturday, April 3, 2020. He was

preceded in death by his father, Earnest Thompson, his brother,

Michael Thompson, his sister Frankie Sutton, and his nephew

Tyreque Slaughter.

He leaves to cherish his memory: two children Shadaman

Thompson (Rosa) and Shannon Thompson; mother Loretta

Thompson; sisters Gertrude Slaughter, Artroe Miller

(William), Joann Thompson, Delores Varner (Lawrence), Julia

Thompson and Claire Bartalos, grandchildren Shala and

Sophia Thompson and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and

friends.
