On April 20, 2017, Dennis joined his wife Carol in heaven on what would have been their 54th wedding anniversary. Carol waited for just over three years for Dennis.
Dennis is survived by his children Arden Thompson, Lori (Brian) Van Den Biggelaar and Hayley (Mario) Thompson Bruised Head; grandchildren, Faith Thompson, Adrian, Shelby and Alanta Van Den Biggelaar and great-grandchildren Brodie and Sawyer Bruised Head. Dennis also leaves behind his brother David "Jeff" (Connie) Thompson and his niece and nephew Pamela (Louise) Thompson and Howard (Kathy) Thompson, along with countless cousins and his uncle Jack Goin and aunt Miriam Wright.
Dennis was very much the patriarch of his family and will be missed deeply by all. Dennis served for over 25 years on the Calgary Police Service before retiring to Victoria for a few years. When Dennis and Carol moved back to Lethbridge, AB, Dennis took up working security at the U of L. He was always very involved in the International Police Association and made many friends worldwide with that organization. Dennis was a member of the McKillop United Church and was very active volunteering with the Interfaith Food Bank. Dennis was an avid hiker and loved any activity that took him outdoors. Dennis also had a great love of music and was a huge supporter of CKUA; he never failed to inform everyone when it was pledge week. Dennis was always active and giving to his family, friends and community and will be leaving a great void for many. We love you Papa.
A Service of Remembrance will be held at MCKILLOP UNITED CHURCH - 2329 15 Ave S, Lethbridge, AB on Wednesday, April 26th, 2017 at 3:00 P.M. with Reverend Trevor Potter officiating.

Deepest sympathy for you loss. We were fortunate to meet Denny through his twin brother Jeff. We have fond memories of the hikes we did as a group to Crypt Lake and Twin Falls. His great appreciaton for the outdoors and big warm smile will always be remembered.
To Dennis' family we extend our sincerest condolences on the loss of their father. Dennis was a classmate and friend of mine on the CPS, and he, Carol, my wife Charlotte and I had some great times early in our careers, and at all of our class reunions and functions. Dennis was a nice man, quiet and strong, a good match for Carol with her quick wit and excitable personality. Charlotte and I often think of both of them, they provided many good memories for their friends. They are now together again, Goodbye.
Our Deepest condolences to the family, had the honor & privilege to work with Dennis (Thumper) both on and off the Police Dept. He will be missed and remember by all those who's lives he touched. RIP my Friend and Brother
