Charles Lyn Thompson, of Lumberton, Mississippi, joined his family in heaven on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at the age of 66. He was a former Lamar County Constable and a Bailiff for a number of years. Though he never served in the military, Lyn was an avid supporter of the military and veterans causes and participated with the VFW post #3955 in Purvis. He was also a member of the Mississippi Constable Association, the Elks Lodge, American Bikers for Awareness, Training, and Education, and was a Master Mason with the Bouie Lodge #434. Lyn had a big heart and would give his last dime if he knew that you needed it. He was always willing to give a friend a ride or treat them to lunch. Lyn devoted his life to his daughter and will be remembered for the loving care that he provided her. He was preceded in death by his parents, Carsie and Ollie Mae Thompson; his wife, Julie Thompson; and his daughter, Amy Thompson. Lyn is survived by two sisters, Sadie Hathcock and Margaret “Doodle” Johnson; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. The funeral service for Lyn, officiated by Reverend Roger Miller, will be at 12:00pm on Saturday, May 22, 2021 at Caney Baptist Church where friends may visit with the family from 9:30am until service time. The burial will follow in the church cemetery assisted by Link Land, Jeremy Reid, Greg Martin, Howard Stanley, Kenny Breakfield, and Keith Breakfield serving as pallbearers.
