John Rolland Thompson Obituary John Rolland Thompson, 56, unexpectedly but peacefully, passed away on Friday, July 6th, 2018 of Necrotizing Fasciitis (a flesh eating bacteria). Johnny will forever be remembered by the way he made people feel. He was always there to help others and found a way to do that quite often and in various ways. John's heart was full of kindness and compassion. He always put others before himself although he did not always have the words, his actions spoke volumes. He will deeply be missed by those who have been touched in their hearts by his acts of love and kindness and expecting nothing in return from anyone, as he knew he was loved. As for now, we would be remiss if we did not give people an opportunity to share their memories of him. John was always such a loving person, and he deserves to have kind words spoken about him. So we would like to invite everyone who loved Johnny to follow the link on this site and share some of your happiest, most meaningful memories you have of him. In lieu of flowers and donations, our family would simply ask that you enjoy your life and savor the time you have with your loved ones. Make every thought you have a good one, and let your words be filled with love and encouragement to others. Take nothing and no one for granted. Treat others the way you want to be treated and make the most of every opportunity to be kind and helpful to others. These are the things that mattered to Johnny and they are the ‘small things in this life’ that make us the most happy, but are often times neglected or forgotten. We know that Johnny would want to see all of us happy in this life, but more importantly, he wants to meet up with us for eternity. So lets take the time to know Jesus intimately, experience a life well-lived and when our time comes, we will all meet up in heaven and experience eternal joy and peace together! A private cremation will take place at Creekside Crematory in Murrieta, CA 92562 John will then be laid to rest 11:00 am Thursday, July 26th at Queen of Heaven Cemetery 2161 Fullerton Rd, Rowland Heights, CA 91748 alongside his family who preceded him in death. Those who preceded John in death are, his parents Mike and Audrey Thompson, his older sister (baby) Marianne Thompson, Brothers, Michael and Kevin Thompson. Those who survive John in life are, Dolly, Greg, Jeannie, Terry, Kathy and Jackie and his nephews, nieces, great nephews and great nieces. Love and peace to all of you, The Thompson Family

  1. I love you so very much! You were so smart with math and numbers. I’d be in awe when you divided or multiplied any number by 25, even in the thousands and you were always right. I was impressed with your mathematical skills! And the number 9- so much you could do with that one! It seemed math came very easy to you-I’m still trying to figure it out. You were the best little brother a girl could have! Others reading this may think, why is she going on about his math abilities? John, you were a giant among numbers. Today I’m thinking of you and you walking around the house asking for numbers to work and impress me with. Maybe I’ll post again with some more wonderful attributes you had, but today, it’s all about numbers. Infinity, John, like numbers: infinity, that’s what and where you are today, Standing on holy ground in His presence for infinity.

  2. May you rest in peace John, you will truly be missed. So many good memories from Corona Del Mar, Lake Arrowhead, Palm Desert and of course the river. John was truly one of kind , he was great person and always a great friend! R.I.P. John , your legacy and memories will live on!

  3. My 62, how much I am missing you right now, but you will forever live in my heart and it does bring me comfort knowing that you will always be anchored in heaven in our Lord’s presence and that you are with Mom, Dad, Michael, Kevin and baby Marriane but mostly with Mom. Our plans to travel will still take place and a pinch of you will be will be left in our travels. You will get to Myrtle Beach, S. Carolina and up through the Smokeys and on down to The Florida Keys. Perhaps I will bring our pics here to show you how much fun you are having. The warmth of the sun is forever upon your face and the wind always at your back. Love always, 58, the kid and Sandy too!

  4. So sorry to hear of Johns passing. I often think of all the good times I shared with John. His personality was like no other. If John couldn’t make you laugh no one could. He was always upbeat and ready for the next adventure. I really looked forward to going to the river or Lake Havasu with John because with him there along with others he had a knack for getting everyone fired for a good time. I will miss you John, R.I.P.!
