Landis Kent Thompson
January 1, 1951 — November 8, 2016
Landis Kent Thompson, 65, of Stone City, passed on to be with the Lord Tuesday, November 8, 2016, which ended his battle with cancer. He was adamant that he wanted this time to be a celebration of his life, instead of a sad mourning of his death. So in that spirit we hope that you be present and love those close to you.
A Memorial Service will be held at Ascension Lutheran Church, Marion at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, November 12, 2016. Immediately following the service the family will greet friends for a Celebration of Life at Thomas Park, Marion.
Landis is survived by his wife Lois of Stone City; children, Landis Thompson and Kirsten (Chris) Economy; and sisters, Claudia Burk, Judith Hoevet, and Charlene Thormodsgard. Also surviving are many loving family members and friends.
