Roger Dale Thompson

Roger Dale Thompson passed away on October 18, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas, at the age of 80. He was born on June 10, 1946, in Vernon, Texas.

Roger grew up in Vernon, where he attended Vernon High School and formed many lifelong friendships. Following graduation, his passion for science and helping others led him to Weatherford, Oklahoma, where he earned his degree from the Southwestern Oklahoma State University College of Pharmacy. That achievement began a proud lifelong career as a pharmacist. During his college years, he was also a dedicated member of the Kappa Pi Pharmaceutical fraternity, where he found fellowship and brotherhood that remained meaningful to him.

Beyond his professional life, Roger was a true outdoorsman at heart with a deep love for the cowboy lifestyle. He was happiest spending long days working on his small ranch, a place that reflected the values he held dear and the life he loved.

He also leaves behind his daughter, Angela Bailey, and her husband, Clay; his son, Zachary Thompson, and his wife, Amber; and his grandchildren, Corsyn, Allie, and Slate. Their lives carry forward the love of family that meant so much to him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Cecil Thompson; his mother, Ruth Thompson; and a brother.
