JOSEPH LEE THOMPSON

Jan. 10, 1977-Aug. 31, 2024

A private memorial service for Joseph Lee Thompson, 47, of Houma, La., 
and a native of Waynesboro, will be conducted at a later date for family 
and friends.

Born on Monday, Jan. 10, 1977 to James and Edna Thompson, in the last 
year he had overcome so many obstacles that life threw at him such as 
his addictions. He moved to Louisiana to get away from his temptations 
here. He was clean for more than a year.

He was back working where he began as a 15-year-old, in the oilfield 
that he knew and loved. He gave his life back to the Lord in April of 
this year. In June, he started having signs of heat stroke. Little did 
he know his life would forever change.

In early July, he was diagnosed with a very rare disease called MOGAD. 
He never saw the outside of those hospital walls again. Thankfully, he 
knew where he was going when he passed away.

We think if he would say anything to us, it would be "Make peace with 
God, draw nigh unto Him and He will walk nigh unto you."

He died on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024 at Oschner's Hospice in New 
Orleans, La.

He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Andrew and Nola Thompson 
of Waynesboro; his three sisters and brothers-in-law, Tammy and Eric 
White of Waynesboro, Jennifer and Michael Dixon of Millry, Ala., and 
Crystal and John Pearson of State Line; his sister-in-law, Cissy 
Thompson of Clara; a granddaughter, Roslyn Thompson; a grandson due in 
December and many nieces, nephews and other family members.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Edna Thompson; his 
wife, Susan Thompson; a brother, Billy Thompson; and a sister, Barbara 
Sumrall.
