James 'Jimmy' Thompson

James “Jimmy” Thompson, 62, of Charlestown, passed away on Sunday, June 25th at Baptist Health Floyd. He is survived by his wife Patricia, his son Brad Thompson of Charlestown, his daughter and son-in-law Krystyl and Jason McGuire of Houston, TX, his mother and father-in-law Loretta and Cecil Boone, his mother Ginny, his siblings Donnie and Carla, and several beloved sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

He is also survived by his pride and joy, and his greatest gifts- his grandchildren- who he greatly helped influence by his shining example of love and kindness: Nataley Thompson, Leah, Jenna, Mitchell, and Norah McGuire.

An avid lover of all animals, he leaves behind his four-legged friends Paco and Lucy, rescuing and offering a loving home to numerous others over the years.
