Mark Evan Thompson who lived in Lenexa with wife Donna, have been married together for the past 13 years.
Mark had a number of significant qualities to be admired in his life.
He was dedicated to his employer over the years at the many places of employment for example at Century Link, Stouse Sign and decal as well as many other establishments where he used his talents in graphic design, design decal, printing and advertising.
Mark Graduated in 1977 with an Associate of Arts. Mark rarely missed work, unless it was absolutely necessary, as he was a trusted employee and spoke fondly of his many co-workers and upline supervisors and managers.
Away from work, Mark enjoyed and spent many hours with his cars. He was interested in everything about them as a collector, a mechanic, and as a show enthusiast. He and Donna would take any selection to drive in any weather. It seemed that a cruise in a car was the best medicine to get away and enjoy life.
Mark was a joy to speak with- cordial, polite, and was proud to talk about his family and friends, nieces and nephews, in-laws and extended family, co-workers… everyone…always in a positive light. He was filled with humor when the time was appropriate and very serious at times when he needed to be. Mark was conscious about encouraging others, and especially liked mentoring younger men about his experiences.
In the past 3 years Mark experienced the loss of his two parents, only 10 months apart. We know he missed them deeply since their passing. Its our prayer that he has joined them in eternal rest with our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are blessed to have known him and are comforted by him.
Mark, we love you, and we miss you until we see you again.
