In Loving Memory of Billy Dean Thompson (May 20, 1980 – May 5, 2025)
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Billy Dean Thompson, who died on May 5, 2025, in Klamath Falls, Oregon, at the age of 44. Billy’s departure has left a profound void in the lives of all who knew and loved him, and he will be missed more than words can fully express.
Born on May 20, 1980, in Redding, California, Billy was a vibrant, warm-hearted individual whose spirit and presence brought light to the lives of those around him. Throughout his life, he was known for his gentle kindness, his loyalty to those he cared about, and a quiet strength that endured through life’s many challenges.
Billy is lovingly remembered by his mother, Doreen, who stood beside him through the good times and the difficult ones with unyielding love and devotion. Their bond was one of deep connection and mutual respect, a testament to the kind of love that forms the foundation of a close-knit family.
Billy’s life journey took him from the sunny hills of Northern California to the peaceful, scenic beauty of Klamath Falls, Oregon, where he spent his later years. While the details of his personal and professional path may not be fully known to all, those who had the privilege of knowing Billy speak of a person who valued simplicity, sincerity, and authenticity.
Though his time here was cut short, Billy’s memory lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and those whose lives he touched. Each story shared, each memory recalled, helps keep his presence alive—reminding us of the quiet impact a single life can have on so many.
A graveside service to honor and celebrate Billy’s life will be held on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., at Eternal Hills Memorial Park in Klamath Falls. Family, friends, and community members are welcome to attend and pay their respects. It will be a time not only to mourn his loss but also to reflect on the life he lived and the love he leaves behind.
In this time of grief, we ask that you hold Billy’s loved ones—especially his mother, Doreen—in your thoughts and prayers. Grief is never easy, and the weight of losing someone so dear is heavy, but it is through shared memories and continued compassion that we find strength and healing.
Rest in peace, Billy Dean Thompson.
You were loved, and you will never be forgotten.
