Our loving son, brother, and friend has gone home to be with Jesus. He fell asleep peacefully surrounded by his loving mother, Sandra, and sısters; Terri and Tracie on March 7, 2026 at the age of 72.
He was privileged to recently meet his beautiful daughter, Chandra, which gave him great joy.
Mike grew up and resided in Salt Lake City, Utah. He overcame many obstacles in his lifetime and we are all very proud of him. Mike was a wonderful caregiver to his grandmother, father and mother. He was a prolific reader who loved science fiction. His hobbies were incredible. Mike built his own computer from scratch and was an avid gamer who had friends all over the world. Mike was funny and kind -he had a joke for everyone and will be greatly missed.
Mike had many cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles who loved him and appreciated his sense of humor. His closest friend and nephew, Toby Triptow was with him until the end.
Mike leaves behind his mother Sandra Thompson, sisters; Terri Neihart Jonkman and Tracie Thompson Sturm. His loving father, Robert J. Thompson has gone on before him.
A specal thanks goes to the caregivers at hospice 4 Utah. They are incredible!
The family will celebrate his life in a private gathering in the near future.
