He was preceded in death by his father, Curtis Thompson, and mother, Yvonne Hawkins.

Rick will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His laughter, friendship, kindness, and the memories shared over the years will remain in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 25, 2026, from 1:00–3:00 p.m. at the Camano Island Center on Camano Island, Washington. Family and friends are invited to come together to celebrate Rick’s life, share memories, and honor the man who meant so much to so many.

Rick, until we meet again, keep the Mustang polished and the road open. I’ll carry your love, your laughter, and our 25 years together in my heart forever.
