Interment will be held Tuesday, January 20th, 2026 at Mount Olivet Cemetery, 2301 North Sylvania Avenue, Fort Worth. Terry was born June 7, 1960 in Fort Worth, Texas. Terry was a man defined by his enormous heart and his dedication to those around him. Known as the kind of person who would truly “give you the shirt off his back,” Terry never met a stranger he wouldn’t help or a friend he wouldn’t support. He took a lot of pride in working at CED for 47 years. Terry found his greatest peace on the water with a fishing pole in his hand, but his greatest joy was found in the company of his family. He was a lifelong, die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, rarely missing a game and always cheering for his team with passion. At home, Terry was the life of every celebration. Whether he was Cooking out on the grill for a crowd or in the home for his family, teaching his children and grandchildren a new skill or a “trick of the trade.” Playing a competitive game of pool or tossing horseshoes in the yard. Terry was a natural teacher who took immense pride in watching his grandchildren grow and learn. His legacy lives on in the many lessons he shared and the laughter he sparked during long afternoons in the sun. Above all else, Terry was a “big family man.” His world revolved around his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was their provider, their protector, and their greatest mentor. He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Herbert Thompson Sr.. He is survived by his loving spouse of 46 years, Linda “Red” Thompson; three children, Sueann Adams (Adam), Melissa Thompson (Dennis Hester), and Christopher “Bud” Thompson (Cecilia); nine grandchildren, Cheyenne Hester, Alexis Hester, Amy Thompson, Cierra Adams, Nathen Thompson, Savannah Hester, Danny Adams, Natalie Thompson, and Eli Thompson; one great-grandchild, Kami’ya Jackson; his mother, Virginia Anniebell Norris; and 4 siblings, Earl Killough, Charles “Chuck” Thompson (Debbie), Ricky Thompson, Diana Thompson.
