Ron Thompson

Ron Thompson, age 64 of Maple Grove, lost his battle with cancer, surrounded by his family on October 18, 2019, just days following his bucket list trip to Vegas.

Ron will be forever missed by his beloved wife of 42 years, Kathie; children, Nick (Flora), Kristi (Chris) Fairchild; grandchildren, Tori, Gabe, Kolton, Braeden, and Kenzi; brothers, Alan and Jeff; many nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Ron's character was built and developed by being an Eagle Scout and in DeMolay. Ron and Kathie built on this through their involvement with Make-A-Wish, Wishes & More, and as active members of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Volunteer Services Division/E-Squad (since September 2002).

An alumni of St. Thomas University, Ron's life's work as a REALTOR/Broker/Owner of Sundial, Prudential Sundial, and Berkshire Hathaway. Ron's adventurous spirit was fueled by his extensive travels both near and abroad and it showed through his love of cooking anything for family and friends. The Thompson household in Maple Grove was filled with Ron's love of family and grandchildren. Countless memories were made at the cabin on the lower Snake River in Pine City where grilling with friends and family was a regular occurrence.
