Kelly Frank Thompson

He was the son of the late Robert and Geneva Thompson.

Mr. Thompson was a veteran having served in the United States Army. He retired from Midstate Tile and Terrazzo after many years of service. He was a member of Woodland Park Baptist Church where he served as an usher and parking attendant for many years. Kelly loved people and never met a stranger. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and supporting the Silverdale Seahawks wherever they played. He was loved and will be greatly missed.

Survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Wanda Thompson; daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Rev. David Thompson of Chattanooga; son and daughter-in-law, Rev. Tim and Debbie Thompson of Chattanooga. He had four grandchildren: Jeremy (Tiffany) Thompson, Kevin (Kim) Thompson, Julie (Taylor) Hasty, Jordan (Hannah) Thompson, and eight great-grandchildren: Gavin Everett Thompson, Brody Scott Thompson, Jonathan Maddux Hasty, David Jaxson Hasty, Lyla Catherine Hasty, Janie Elizabeth Thompson, Amelia Pearl Thompson and Chapel Ann Thompson.

A graveside service will be held at Chattanooga National Cemetery with full military honors on Monday, August 31, at 10:30 AM with Rev. David Thompson and Rev. Tim Thompson officiating. Jeremy Thompson, Kevin Thompson, Jordan Thompson, Taylor Hasty, David Lawson, and Rob Ervin will serve as pallbearers. Kelly’s great grandsons will serve as honorary pallbearers. The family would like to express its gratitude to Hearth Hospice for their kind and loving care of our dad during his transition to Heaven.
