Mack Douglas Thompson, 60, went to heaven on June 22, 2013. Doug retired from the Escambia County School District where he was employed for 37 ½ years as an HVAC supervisor. He was an excellent provider to his family, had an excellent sense of humor, loved his family dearly, and was an outstanding husband, father, son, and grandfather. At work Doug was all business, outspoken but very loyal to his co-workers and the school district which he served. Cooking, fishing and gardening were his favorite hobbies. He enjoyed family gatherings and cooking the meals, especially for the holidays. However, his most pleasurable times were spent with his children and grandchildren. Otis and Gracie were his two puppy dogs which he enjoyed and dearly loved. Doug was an active member of Marcus Pointe Baptist Church.
