SWANVILLE — Brian Clifford Thompson, 62, of Swanville, Maine passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home on January 17, 2022. Born May 29, 1959, to Clifford and Marlene Thompson of Jackson, Maine.

Brian was a graduate of CMCC with an Associate degree in Architectural Engineering and most recently employed at Merriam Architects of Rockland, Maine.

Brian was passionate about many things. He was a Reiki Master, a loyal member, and chaplain of the Red Knights, a dedicated Patriot Guard Rider, and an Ordained Minister. He took great pride in his country, honoring fallen soldiers, and let’s not forget the notorious cowbell and his loud voice cheering on the high school sports.

Brian was known for having a kind soul and big heart, who would always be willing to listen and comfort anyone that needed it. Among his greatest joys were his children and grandchildren, as well as his parents.

He's now been reunited with his beloved wife, Cathy, and many other family and friends predeceased.

He is survived by his parents, Clifford and Marlene of Jackson, Maine; his sister Rochelle and Phil Shaw of Dayton, Maine; his children, Christopher Thompson of Swanville, Maine, Shannon and husband Kevin Buttermore of Guilford, New Hampshire, Sienna Gilmore of Moyock, North Carolina, and Brian and wife Libbie Thompson of Frankfort, Maine; his grandchildren Gavin, Kadyn, Madyson, Catherine, Reid, Ryleigh, and Scarlett; his dog Daisie; and many other family and friends.

Lastly, we cannot forget his pride and joy, a White 2017 Victory motorcycle.

A celebration of life will be held February 12, 2022, from 2 to 4 p.m., at Riposta Funeral Home, in Belfast, Maine. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in his name to the Travis Mills Foundation.
