Thompson served as a firefighter in Ville Platte, for over 14 years. He is credited with saving multiple lives, homes, and property. He was a dedicated firefighter, and we will be forever in his debt. Thompson enjoyed hunting and fishing with his close friends. He loved to use his culinary skills to treat his friends and family. He enjoyed the outdoors and spending time playing guitar and singing next to a warm camp fire.
