Alan D. Thompson
July 17, 1960 - July 5, 2006

Alan D. Thompson (Big Al) passed quietly away on July 5, 2006, at the Muse Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit in Mason City, Iowa, after a brief but very hard fought battle with cancer.

Al was born on July 17, 1960, in Forest City, Iowa, the son of Forry and Barb (Ewing) Thompson. He received his education in the Forest City School system, graduating from Forest City High School in 1979.

After graduation, Al worked at Winnebago Industries with the grounds crew in the Maintenance Department until the time of his death. Al had a special passion for working outside. He was always mowing a yard, tilling a garden, or cutting down a tree. Although he tried to make a living at these activities, most times he simply did them for fun or to help someone in need, never thinking twice about the money he wasn’t making.

Those left to cherish his memory and spirit include his parents, Forry and Barb Thompson, of Forest City; two brothers, Dave (Michelle) Thompson, of Forest City, and Carl (Jill) Thompson, of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and a sister, Robin (Tom) McCloskey, of Forest City; his nieces and nephews: Hannah, Connor, and Noah Thompson and Drew Humphrey, of Forest City, Hillary and Amelia Thompson, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Billy McCloskey, of Forest City; as well as a long list of friends and sidekicks.

Al was preceded in death by his sister, Teri Lynn; his maternal grandparents, Clifford and Maude Ewing; and his paternal grandparents, Forest and Elinor Thompson.

Funeral service for Alan Thompson will be held Monday, July 10, 2006, at 10:30 AM at the United Methodist Church in Forest City with Pastor Jerald Swanberg officiating. Burial will be at Oakland Cemetery in Forest City. Visitation will be from 5:00 to 8:00 PM on Sunday, July 9, 2006, at the funeral home and an hour prior to services at the church.
