Alton “Al” Curtis Thompson, passed away Friday, May 5, 2023.
He was born in Raleigh, North Carolina on June 18, 1950, to his mother, Alice Elizabeth Weaver, and his late father, Curtis Root Thompson. Al was a great husband, father, and friend. He was a veteran of Vietnam and received three Purple Hearts. He was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corp in March of 1974.

He worked for Publix Supermarkets for eight years, and he was employed by New Creations Landscaping over the last ten years in North Carolina. Through the years, Al demonstrated a strong work ethic and mentored many young men in his lifetime.
Al first and foremost enjoyed being with his family. He loved animals, especially dogs. He was an avid gardener with a green thumb and grew beautiful tomatoes and roses. He liked being outdoors and working!
