Stefan John Thompson was 26 when he passed away Feb. 24, 2012. He graduated in 2011 from Kent State University. His mom says this smile is the one everyone knew him by; he was a people person who enjoyed life to the fullest and cared about everyone. When friends would complain about having to get up in the morning, he would reply, “You better thank God for waking you up.”
