Timothy Darrell Thompson, Sr.

September 28, 1951 — March 14, 2025

Temple

Mr. Timothy “Timmy” Darrell Thompson Sr., a beloved Baptist preacher and devoted family man, aged 73, of Temple, Georgia, passed away on March 14, 2025. He was born on September 28, 1951 in Atlanta Georgia to the late Mr. Alvin Jasper Thompson and the late Mrs. Annie Mae Stamey Thompson.

Timmy provided for his family as a paint contractor but his love was working in the church. He served in church as a preacher, deacon, bus ministry worker, children’s church worker and always his Pastor’s helper. He was a loving and family-oriented man, always prioritizing the needs of his family above all else. Timmy will forever be remembered as “pawpaw” and everyone's favorite uncle.

Timmy found great joy in the outdoors, particularly in the mountains. Above all, his love for Jesus was the cornerstone of his life, guiding his actions and interactions with others.

His proudest accomplishments were his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, each of whom he cherished deeply.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by 3 grandchildren, Olivia Thompson, Vlaid Thompson, and Grace Thompson, as well as 11 siblings.

Timmy is survived by his loving wife of almost 55 years, Mrs. Rita Ann Thompson; sons and daughters-in-law, Toby (Jodie) Thompson of Townsend GA, and Todd (Ashleigh) Thompson of Dallas GA; daughter and son-in-law, Tabiatha (Shae) Tallent of Temple GA; 9 precious grandchildren, Haydn, Jonah, Caroline, Blake (Alanah), Brooke (Zachary), Thomas, Alanna (Trae), Jake, and Dalton; 5 beautiful great-grandchildren, Judah, Isaac, Aly, Addison, and Jackson; brothers and sisters-in-law, William (Barbara) Thompson, and Michael (Wanda) Thompson; as well as several nieces, nephews and extended family.
