Jamie Paul Thompson, 49, of Spooner, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at Spooner Health Systems in Spooner, WI. 

Jamie was born on July 11, 1970, in Bloomer, WI, to Larry and Sharon Thompson.  He went to Anne Street School in Rice Lake, WI.  Jamie participated in the Special Olympics, competing for several years and receiving numerous medals.  He worked at Ventures in Shell Lake for 28 years.  He was a member of Faith Lutheran Church.  He loved all sports, especially Packers and Spooner Rails (#1 fan).  He always listened on the radio, knew the game schedules, and liked to attend games.  Jamie was out-going and loved attending Spooner football and basketball games and attended one Packer game.  He loved and was very talented at many different coloring activities and puzzles.  We never saw Jamie without his “dirty dog”.  He always kept track of days on his many calendars and watched the time of day.  He loved to call and check up on everyone and even figured out how to speed dial.  Jamie spent a lot of time with his father; they went to all the fire meetings, fishing, ball games, etc.  He loved to eat out at Tony’s for a cheeseburger, fries, and Diet Coke.

Jamie is survived by his father, Larry Thompson; brothers Jeff (Ann) Thompson of Hastings and Steve Thompson (Joleen Anderson) of Spooner; sister Janice Thompson (Jason Edinger); many nieces and nephews; and many friends from the community.  He is preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Thompson, his grandparents, and his uncle Robert Thompson.

A funeral service will be held for Jamie on Monday, March 2, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. at Faith Lutheran Church in Spooner with Pastor Brent Berkesch officiating.  A visitation will be held on Sunday, March 1, 2020, from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Spooner Funeral Home and on Monday for one hour prior to the service at the church.  Burial will be in the Spooner Cemetery.
