Leonard “Lenny” Thompson, 63, of Holly, Colorado, passed away on November 17, 2025, in Aurora, Colorado. He was born on February 7, 1962, in Lamar, Colorado, to Robert and Adell (Hart) Thompson.

Lenny spent his formative years attending school in Holly, graduating from Holly High School in 1980.  A proud graduate of WyoTech with a degree in diesel mechanics, Lenny built his life around hard work, family, and the open outdoors. As a farmer and mechanic, he poured pride and passion into Thompson Farms. Lenny was happiest outside—an avid off-roader and lifelong lover of the outdoors. He enjoyed traveling and sought out the best dive bars wherever the road took him. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family and close friends.

Lenny will be remembered for his humor, his grit, his generosity, and his unmistakable love for the people and places that shaped his life. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, loyalty, and deep family pride.

Lenny is survived by his parents, Robert and Adell Thompson; his son, Terence Thompson; his daughter and son-in-law, Rachael and Adam Mueller; and his beloved grandchildren, Joanna and Louis Mueller. He is also survived by his brother and sisters-in-law, Colin and Jane Thompson and Cory and Linda Thompson; and by numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Memorial contributions may made to Lamar Area Hospice in care of Valley Funeral & Cremation, P.O. Box 950, Lamar, Colorado 81052, to honor Lenny's caring spirit.
