Walter Q. Thomson was born in Earlington, Ky., on Jan. 23, 1937. He was the son of Walter Q. Thomson Sr. and Martha Coyle Thomson.

In 1992, he retired from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department with 30 years of service and spent his retirement doing what he loved best, carving Western and Indian figures along with horses and mules out of wood.

After his retirement, Walter returned to his home state of Kentucky where he and his wife resided for 11 years before moving to Kingman in 2004.

He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Mary E. Thomson of Kingman; and one son, Steven A. Thomson and fiancée Wendi Jordan of Santa Paula, Calif. He is also survived by his cousins, Nancie and Joey of Florida, John of Texas, and their families.

Dearest Walt, we will miss you forever.

At his request, there will be no service.
