On May 1st, 2022, our Lord and Savior called his good and faithful servant, Rev. Ralph M. Thompson, home to heaven. Ralph was surrounded by his wife and children and they ushered him into paradise with Psalm 23, The Lord’s Prayer and the song “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” sung by his son.
Ralph was born on November 12, 1948, to Robert and Margaret (Oleson) Thompson of Badger, Iowa. Ralph graduated from Fort Dodge High School, in Fort Dodge, Iowa, while working on the family farm with his brothers. He was a proud alumnus of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and Luther Seminary, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ralph had an undergraduate degree in history and a Master’s of Divinity. College was a wonderful time for Ralph as he made many friends and created lasting memories.
