Born Oct 29, 1953, John lived by the principle of "Family First." He was deeply influenced by his grandparents, Maude and Jack, and his brother, Jim. John's legendary work ethic included years at the Delta Center and E Center, and nightly work at a local car wash. A "treasure" hunter, he collected 5,000 golf balls from Meadowbrook Golf Course and spent years seeking the perfect Chile Verde like the one his mom used to make. He found joy and "nag-free" companionship in his dogs: Babe, Duchess, and Sheba. He also faithfully brought ice cream to Aunt Kathy Case's monthly potlucks. Robert came into John's life as a stepson, but even after the marriage ended, he stayed a true son, a bond that only strengthened as the years progressed. He was at John's bedside as he passed. John loved him dearly. Preceded in death by parents James, Diane, and Eugene; brother, Jim; and sisters, Denette and Julee. Survived by sister Cathie McBride (Mack); brother Evan Case (Kathy); sister-in-law Beverly Case; son Robert Orr; grandkids Treyson and Selina: Nephews Cody and Lane McBride.

He was born in Oakland, CA, to Lewis and Nellie Thompson. His Mother died of cancer when Louis was only 5 years old, so his Maternal Grandmother came to live with the family and raised Louis throughout his graduation. Louis loved and played all forms of sports and could be seen shooting hoops, tossing a baseball or a football, or running laps even in the rain. He was voted Most Shy at Fremont High School. He proudly accepted the All Conference in Football Award. He enjoyed playing football at Merritt College and again in Guam, during the Vietnam Era while serving in the United States Air Force. He loved his three daughters: Tiffany Thompson (GA), Sarah Toney (OR), and Step-Daughter Monique Love (GA). He adored his Granddaughters, Grandson, and Great Granddaughter. Louis retired from the VA Hospital in SLC, UT, as a surgical instruments technician to the OR Surgery Doctors. Louis and Jane were introduced in 2007 and THAT WAS THAT. Both shared humor and honesty and political beliefs. They've been tied together since. Both Louis and Jane are die-hard Raiders fans, and Step-Son, Scot Birrell (CO), would have good-natured bets whenever the Broncos played the Raiders. Louis often described the "White Only" signs or the "Back Door Only" signs for food service at restaurants during the Civil Rights Era. He always believed in the promise of equal rights and the American Dream for all ethnicities. Rest in Peace, Papa Lou! You ran a great race and YOU WON! ]]></storytext><image><caption><![CDATA[ Louis Thompson ]]></caption><height></height><width></width><photo>https://cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/saltlaketribune/Photos/SLT0038328-1_20260518.jpg</photo></image></item></channel>
