He was born April 4, 1923 in Hansen, Idaho to Gordon Francis and Margaret McFarland Thompson. He married Betty Ann Slater on December 16, 1942 in the Salt Lake Temple. They enjoyed a devoted and loving marriage, working side by side for 62 years.
Byron was an active member of the Warren Ward and served in various ward and stake positions. He was a life-long dairy farmer and it was on the farm where he taught his nine daughters the value of work. Byron’s favorite pastime was fishing and the family wishes to thank his fishing buddy Lee Tribe for all the memorable fishing trips they shared.
