Thompson John Brown Jr.

As one always says as one path ends, another begins. On Wednesday, March 16, 2016, Thompson Brown Jr. was called to begin his other path at the age of 65. He was a man who loved duck hunting, fishing, playing softball and golf. Thompson's blue eyes could make anyone smile. He was a man who never met a stranger. Thompson was retired from BASF in supervision. He served as a medic in the United States Air Force. Thompson is survived by wife, Claire; his two daughters and son-in-laws: Darah and Randy Delaneuville, Darci and Scott Landry.

He is preceded in death by his father, Thompson Brown Sr. and father and mother in law, Buck and Rita Paxton, and brother in law, Harry Daniel.
