THOMPSON, KENNETH GRAY, age 75, of Riner, VA, beloved son, husband, daddy, pawpaw and brother, was peacefully called back home on Monday, November 16, 2009 with his family by his side. He was preceded in death by his father, Gold Thompson and a brother, Johnny Thompson.
He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Faye Thompson; son, Monty Thompson and wife, Lou Ann, of Christiansburg, VA, a daughter, Tami Koury and husband, Ernie, Jr., of Burlington, N.C.; sons, Tony Hylton, of Radford, VA, Greg Hylton, of Christiansburg, VA, grandchildren, Ellie Thompson, Ern, Elizabeth, Lauren Koury; his mother, Irene Thompson whom he had a special and wonderful relationship; sisters, Corrine Vaughn, Betty Linkous and husband, C.B., Winki Akers and husband, Bud, and Mary Jones; his mother-in-law, Eavie Phillips, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Words can not express the love and how much we do miss him, and believe that he isn’t just in our past but in our future too. He was owner of Holiday Datsun, now New River Nissan. He sold the business in 1988 to enjoy his true passion of raising cattle on his grandparent’s farm. He was a devoted member of Valley View Church and cherished his church family.

Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20th at the Valley View Church, Riner, conducted by Elder Raymond Goad and Elder Larry Hollandsworth with interment in the Thompson Cemetery, Floyd County.
