Funeral Services Held For Father, Son Killed In Monday Wreck

September 4, 2010

Funeral services were held Saturday for the father and son who died Monday in a Flomaton traffic accident.

Services for Stephen Carl Thompson, 33, and his son, Nathan, 9,  of Bay Minette, were held at Hand Avenue Baptist Church. Burial was in Bay Minette Cemetery.

Thompson is survived by his wife of nearly 12 years, Christie Thompson; and three more children, Valerie Thompson, Joshua Thompson and Rachel Thompson, all of Bay Minette.

Thompson, a Pensacola native, served as a member of the National Guard since 2006. His family moved to Bay Minette when he was a teen, and he played soccer and football at Baldwin County High School. He graduated in 1994.

He was employed by Redbox, a movie rental company. He had reportedly taken his son Nathan, who was homeschooled, to work with him. He had left a Redbox location in Atmore and was on his way to service machines in Brewton.

Donations to assist the family can be made to Christie Thompson, c/o Hand Avenue Baptist Church, 2001 Hand Ave., Bay Minette, AL 36507.

The Thompsons died Monday afternoon in a crash at Highway 113 and Highway 31 in Flomaton when their vehicle was struck by another vehicle driven by Alice Bradley Bradford, 79, of Pensacola. Bradford and her husband Edward M. Bradford, 80, were both transported by helicopter to Pensacola Hospitals where Alice Bradford later died.

Funeral arrangements for Alice Bradford have not been publicly announced.

    My sympathies to the family during this horrible time. My prayers go out to all effected by such a tragedy.

    At a more appropriate time, motherofone, I will happily discuss how it isn’t just “older people who drive when they are not physically / mentally able”

    I am so sorry to read this story. Just this week at work I had a conversation about older people who drive when they are not physically/mentally able. An older lady was disoriented on Monday and ran into a transformer at WF hospital and knocked power out to the facility for several hours. This was very costly and harmful to businesses and patients who needed to see their doctors. The police did nothing because the accident occurred on private property.

    My condolences to all the families involved.

    I am praying for peace and comfort that only the Father can provide for this family.
