James "Jimmy" Thomas Thompson

Memorial Hospital in Paso Robles, CA on July 22, 1948 to James W. and Evadeen Thompson.

He is remembered as a loving brother, uncle, friend, and also greatly loved his son, Garrett.

Jimmy was a proud veteran, having been drafted to the Vietnam War. He was a retired state

employee, who worked at the Paso Robles Boys School. After retiring from the State, he

became an auto-broker and later retired in the early 2000’s.

If you knew Jimmy or “JT”, you knew he was very proud to be from San Luis Obispo County;

especially his hometown of Templeton. While Jimmy lived in, and graduated from Templeton, he

used to always say, “I’m at Paso Robles High School so much, the coach gave me a P.E.

locker!”

Jimmy leaves behind a son, Garrett Thompson of Sacramento, sister, Gaylon Wilson (Michael)

of Templeton, brother, Randy Heilmann (Janet) of Escondido, sister, Karen Carnes (Gary) of

Rimrock, AZ., sister, Janae Davidson (Barclay) of Escondido, his ex wife, Mary Thompson of

Paso Robles and several nieces and nephews.

The memorial service for James will be Friday, November 17, 2023 at Kuehl Nicolay Memorial

home in Paso Robles, CA, at 10:00 AM. After the memorial service, there will be a graveside

service at Templeton Cemetery at 12:00 pm. Finally, after the cemetery service, please join us

for a lunch gathering and celebrate with the people who will miss Jimmy the most.
