After an almost decade long battle with cancer, Paul passed away at Victoria Hospital, London, on Monday, August 12, 2024, in his 40th year. Beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, friend and Military Combat Engineer and Combat Diver, Paul was an incredible man who enjoyed spending time with his family and his dog Mudd, working on cars, being active, and caring for others.

Dear son of Sue Raeside (Dave) and Michael Thompson and son-in-law of Carol Jackson and Brian Howlett (Suzann).

Paul joined the Canadian Army Forces in 2012 and worked as a Combat Engineer and Combat Diver for 1CER based out of Edmonton, Alberta.
