Obituary of Steven Craig Thompson
Steven Craig Thompson, 56, passed away suddenly on Saturday, October 17, 2020. Steve was born in Norfolk, VA to the late Mary Sue Thompson and William Rayford Thompson. Steve graduated from Bayside High School in Virginia Beach, VA in 1982. He owned and operated Thompson's Landscaping Services, Inc for more than 25 years. Steve had a passion for landscaping design and maintenance of properties. He especially enjoyed being outdoors and utilizing his creative talents. Steve valued relationships with his long-time customers over the years - and took great pride in his work. He had a strong work ethic and liked to be productive. Steve was a kind person with a gentle heart. He was gifted with a keen sense of humor and was often able to find humor in most anything he encountered. Steve truly loved his family and treasured his special friends. He especially enjoyed his canine companions - Whiskey, Shamrock, Sadie and Ruckus. Steve enjoyed family/holiday gatherings, getting together with friends and riding his bike on the boardwalk. During his later years he was not able to do some of these activities as much due to increasing health limitations. He always enjoyed eating out and trying new restaurants. Steve was deeply loved and will be missed by those who were fortunate to have known him. Our hearts are truly broken. Left to cherish his memory are his sister, Susan E. Thompson; aunt, Susan Lockamy Norman; and his cherished, long time special friends, Anthony, Tracey, Joe, David, Rob, Mark J, and Mike J. A celebration of Steve's life will be held Friday, October 23, 2020 at 1 p.m. at Smith & William's Funeral Home, 4889 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach. He will be privately laid to rest at a later time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Virginia Beach SPCA at www.vbspca.com.
