Obituary

Mr. Craig Lynn Thompson, 64, of Goodyear, Arizona died June 25, 2021 in Goodyear, Arizona.  He was born October 7, 1957 in Carbondale, Illinois to Russel and Grace Thompson.

Craig and his family moved to Arizona during his first year of life.  He was a happy and sometimes mischievous child who loved his older brother and always made his parents proud.  He started his working life as a stock boy for Skaggs before becoming an engineer for Honeywell.  He was a quiet man who had a wonderful sense of humor.  Craig’s faith in God sustained him in his hardest times.  He loved to spend his time doing photography, wood-working, and spending time with his family.

Craig was happily married for 36 years and had two children who adored him.  He was an amazingly supportive father who provided a near perfect childhood.  His two grandchildren loved and looked up to him.

He is survived by his daughter, Brenna Coullahan, son, Jerod Thompson, brother, Dennis Thompson, and two grandchildren, Liam and Finn Coullahan.  Craig was preceded in death by his wife, Julia Thompson.

A memorial service will be held at 1pm on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at Thompson Funeral Chapel.
