Charles A. Thompson, a United States Navy Vietnam War veteran, 30-year civil servant, and unapologetic Christian, died peacefully and surrounded by his family on August 21. He was the beloved husband of Debra Thompson, loving father of son Charles Thompson, daughter Judi Pruitt, and step daughter Jeannette Blacker, and loving brother of Cheryl Thompson and the late Foster Thompson. He is also survived by seven grandchildren, Kristina, Mikki, Dylan, Keili, Ashley, Zachary and James.

Born in Carbondale, Pennsylvania on March 26, 1944, to the late Charles and Reba Thompson, he was a graduate of the Monterey High School Class of 1962. He served two tours in the Vietnam War as a US Navy Diver and Executive Officer of Harbor Clearance Unit 1. Following his time in the military, Charles performed engineering work with the United States Navy. He was an Elder at the Reformed Presbyterian Church and was devout and unabashed in his faith to his Lord and Savior.

He was an avid, renowned and life-long relic hunter and passionate about Civil War, WWI and WWII history.
