Written by Lynne Thompson & Jeff Thompson (mom and dad)
Today we write about mental health.
We are parents of one amazing child, but we were gifted with having two. For those who don't know, we gave birth to a absolutely gorgeous girl who held our hearts in her hands. Later in life she came to us as a young adult and told us she had never been comfortable about her body and how he felt inside.
we made sure we had the best of the best therapists and doctors, who then gave us our very handsome, intelligent, beautiful son.
No matter what, our love was unconditional love and would always be there to keep him safe.
During these times of lockdown and social distancing it took a tole on his mental health and we missed the signs, or he just hid them that well. Alex took himself on a walk not to return for us to hold again.
So, during these times, please in memory of Sarah Anne Thompson or Alexander Wayne Thompson our one and only child. Speak up, get help.
Hold your loved one tighter and always say I love you no matter the event.
Due to the restrictions put in place by COVID-19, a private family gathering will be held at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services. A larger Celebration of Life will be held in Alexander's memory at a later date. For those who wish to make a donation in lieu of flowers, please do so towards the Kids Helpline, Ottawa.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex. He was the kindest, most caring human being I have ever known. He has left a hole in the hearts of all who knew him. My deepest sympathy to his family. Always remember you were loved Alex. xoxo

My deepest condolences. Alex and I became close friends in High-school. Over the last decade we've parted ways but kept in touch online and ran into eachother downtown. Alex took me to my first pride parade and was able to understand me always. He was INCREDIBLY kind. So so kind to me. Always smiling. This is a true tragic loss. I am so sorry.

I did not know him very long, but he was the most genuinely nice, caring, hard working, positive and honest man. He always pushed people to find the good in everything. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. The world lost an incredible human, and he will be missed. May he rest in peace.
