SCOTT THOMPSON IN MEMORIAM

Scott Alan Thompson was born on March 10, 1957, in Eagle Rock, California, to George and Nancy Thompson. He was the oldest of five children: Keith, Alicia, Christine, and Wayne. Scott grew up in the San Bernardino Mountains and graduated from Rim of the World High School in 1975. He married Patti Goodwin on October 6, 1984, and together, they raised a beautiful family which includes children: Tonya, Ashly, Teagan, Taylor, and Connor; their spouses: Adam, Daniel, Jennie, and Olivia; and their grandchildren: Ava, Saydee, Kodi, Wyatt, Cash, Waylon, Luke, Walker, Urijah, JJ, Rafe, and Kenley.

Scott was a high school science teacher and coach for a time. He later became a rancher and a firefighter. In 1994, Scott and Patti moved their family to Beckwourth to raise their family and start ranching on the Goodwin Ranches, which were conserved in partnership with the Rangeland Trust in 2011 and 2012.

Scott loved country music, especially George Strait, and his hero was John Wayne. So, it’s fitting that Scott and The Duke share the same date of passing, June 11th. Scott was a man of God, who loved the Lord and his family deeply. He will be greatly missed by his family and the lives he touched. Happy Trails, until we meet again.
