Larry Thompson

Larry Thompson, age 58, of Indian Head, Maryland, peacefully transitioned on April 27, 2026. He was born on February 4, 1968, in La Plata, Maryland. Larry lived a life filled with love, laughter, dedication, and meaningful connections with family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, James Edward Thompson Sr.; his mother, Beverly Ann Washington; his grandfather, Archie W. Dotson Sr.; his grandmother, Katherine Dotson; his uncles, Charles G. Dotson Sr., Kenneth L. Dotson, Archie W. Dotson Jr., and James Dennis Thompson Sr.; and his aunts, Margaret E. Lyles, Helen Dotson, and Norma Dotson.

Larry leaves to cherish his memories, his children: Larry Andre Thompson, Joshua DeWitt Thompson (Jasmine), and Justin Davaughn Thompson. His grandchildren Jayceon, Mariah, and Ace.

He is also survived by his devoted siblings: Sheila A. Kelly (Charles Sr.), Carolin D. Price (Charles Sr.), James E. Thompson Jr. (Patsy), and Robert L. Thompson (Stacey). Larry will be fondly remembered by his nephews, Charles Kelly Jr. (Sharquita), Charles E. Price Jr., and Thomas Ford; and his nieces, Latasha Thompson and Tia Bushee (Aden).

He shared a special bond with his dear friend, Barbara Jean Burroughs, and treasured his friendship with Carla Tongue. In addition, he leaves behind a host of extended family members and friends who will continue to honor his legacy.

Larry found joy in life’s simple pleasures. As a child he enjoyed riding bicycles with his siblings, playing cards on weekends, and spending quality time with his family. He had a passion for working on cars, often alongside his brother James (Jay), and played an instrumental role in helping his brother Robert (TD) build a landscaping business—working side by side and creating lasting memories.

He also enjoyed time at the racetrack at Budd’s Creek and cherished family gatherings. Larry was known as an early riser, often calling loved ones as early as 7 a.m. with a cheerful “Good morning,” simply to brighten their day. His thoughtful nature and unique sense of affection made him unforgettable. He was especially known for giving family members nicknames—each one personal and filled with love.

Larry enjoyed watching football and his favorite shows, including Street Outlaws, and had a love for good food—especially fried chicken! He was educated in the Charles County Public School system and carried a strong work ethic throughout his life.

Larry will be remembered for his warm spirit, his humor, his deep love for family, and the joy he brought into every room. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, laughter, and connection will live on forever.

“For we walk by faith, not by sight… We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7–8
