On Saturday, October 5th, Gage Aaron Thornton tragically passed away in a pedestrian accident in El Paso, Texas.
Gage was born on May 26th, 2000 in Boise, Idaho to Jason and Jacqueline (Nipper) Thornton. He grew up in Nampa and graduated with honors from Idaho Arts Charter School in 2018. He was a Private First Class in the US Army, serving as an Aircraft Powertrain Repairer at Fort Bliss, Texas. Above all else, Gage was a loyal and caring friend. This was matched almost as strongly by his passion for cars. This passion was reflected in his art for which he won several competitions and accolades. Gage was also talented musically, playing the piano, trombone, clarinet, trumpet and guitar. His favorite instrument was the guitar, which he learned to play on his own. He loved the outdoors and animals.
Gage is survived by his parents, Jason and Jacqueline; his brother, Ian; grandparents, Ralph and Terry Nipper and grandmother, Theresa Thornton. He was loved by his many aunts, uncles and cousins.
