Meron Thompson, Jr was born March 06, 1938 in Gause, Texas to Meron and Pauline Thompson. He received his education from Two Mile School in Gause, Texas. He was the greatest “BBQ KING” West Texas had ever seen, hands down! Meron Thompson had an enormous heart for loving and caring for people, he never met a stranger. Most of all he loved his family, but most importantly he loved the Lord.

Now he has joined the love of his life Joan (Brown Sugar) Thompson after 350 days of being without her. Meron met Joan in 1957 and on September 10, 1959 they were united in Holy Matrimony.

In 1965, Meron moved from Brownwood, Texas to San Angelo, Texas. Meron was employed at General Telephone Company (GTE) and retired in December 1988 where he was a Maintenance Supervisor. After his retirement Meron pursued several entrepreneur endeavors. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed fishing. Meron was known as “Shaggy Dog” for his CB handle.

On August 01, 2019 Meron Thompson, Jr. peacefully transitioned this Earth to be with his Heavenly Father, surrounded by family at his side.
