It is with heavy hearts that the family of Ken Thompson, beloved husband of Wendy, announce his passing at the Medicine Hat Hospital on Thursday, July 30, 2015, at the age of 63 years. Along with his loving wife, Wendy, Ken leaves to cherish his memory: three children, Ryan, Kristie (Joe) and Julie (Neil); sister, Diane (Ron) Evans; brother, David Thompson; sister-in-law, Lori Thompson; nephew, Chad Thompson; cousin, Brenda (Elliot) Wach as well as special friend, Don. He was predeceased by his parents, one brother, Brian as well as his pet dog, Boomer. Ken was very easy to talk to, and shared his great sense of humour with everyone he met. He enjoyed photography and took many beautiful pictures with his camera. He also enjoyed the relaxation that came with tending to his garden or just kicking back to some of his favorite tunes, old-time country &?Rock. Interment will take place in Morris, Manitoba at a later date.
