Obituary for Ronald Paul Thompson
Ron passed away on August 13, 2022. He was born in Roswell, New Mexico on
January 17, 1938. Ron was raised in Irving, Texas, where he met and married his
high school sweetheart Loydeen Holland, his wife of 57 years. Loy passed away in
2014. Ron was also pre-deceased by his parents, Cecil and Mabel Thompson and
his brother, Duane Thompson.
Ron is survived by his wife of 8 years, Jeweldine Hughes Thompson from Holly
Lake Ranch, his three children, Jeri Neely (Shawn) from The Villages, Florida, Rick
Thompson (Nancy) from Plano, Texas, and Gary Thompson (Dawn) from Murphy,
Texas. He also has 6 grandchildren that he loved wholeheartedly, Shelby
Thompson, Holland Jezek (Mark), Tyler Neely, Cooper Thompson, Baxter
Thompson, and Mitchel Thompson. With his marriage to Jeweldine, Ron was
blessed with the addition of her family to his own. He opened his heart to them
and was loved deeply in return.
In 1961 Ron graduated from Texas Tech University where he earned an industrial
engineering degree. He then built a successful career in the heating and air
conditioning business. He owned and operated Climate Systems in Plano for over
20 years. In 2003, he and Loy retired and moved to Holly Lake Ranch. He enjoyed
woodworking projects, gardening and building things with his hands. He was
frequently involved in helping friends and neighbors with home improvement
projects. Ron was a devoted Christian and served for many years as both a deacon
and Sunday school teacher. He loved the fellowship of First Baptist Church in
Plano, and Holly Brook Baptist Church at Holly Lake. His wise counsel, his
twinkling eyes, and his quite grace will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 18, at Holly Brook Baptist
Church, 3219 S. FM 2869, Hawkins, Texas. Visitation begins at 9 am, and the
funeral at 10:00 am. A graveside ceremony will follow at Holly Tree Cemetery.
