Lance Thompson
d. August 9, 2018
Lance Eric Thompson (born Sgroi), age 39, of Little Rock passed away August 7, 2018 after a lengthy and intense battle with cancer.
Lance, a program analyst at FedEx, had many talents. He was known for
his artistic ability, at one point producing several works of art in Memphis
which sold to various art collectors. He was also known for his wry sense of humor and for his
excellence in multiple areas from managing his fish tanks, cooking from scratch, and crafting
furniture as a thoughtful and productive woodworker.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1978, Lance grew up in Fairview Heights, Illinois and spent his High
School years in Arkansas graduating from Bauxite High School in Benton. Lance attended
the University of Arkansas in Little Rock, for a time, then moved on to the Art Institute of Phoenix, Arizona where he worked on computer programming, graphic design, animation, and gaming.
He returned to Arkansas to be close to his beloved son, Brady. The two of them worked on art
and robotic projects, played computer games, and constructed several woodworking projects
together.
Lance is survived by one son, Brady Vickers; his mother, Carol Lynn Thompson, sister, Marceline Thompson-Hayes and husband Steven C. Hayes and brother, Andre Lloyd Thompson.
A Memorial Service is 1:00 p.m. Saturday, August 18 at Little Rock Church,
