Calvin Thompson, age 69, of Bagley, MN, died Thursday, June 3, 2021, at Havenwood Care Center in Bemidji, MN.

Calvin Wayne Thompson was born on December 7, 1951, to Lester Thompson and Marceline Ann Goodwin.  He was lovingly raised in Bagley by his mother and stepfather, Charles Halvorson.  He attended school in Bagley and was active in various sports.  Following his high school graduation, Calvin worked various jobs but remained in the Bagley area.  He was united in marriage to Charlene Stevens and blessed with children.  Calvin returned to school where he obtained electrical training at Detroit Lakes Vocational College.  He was employed with White Earth Housing for many years and later worked as a security guard at the Shoot Star Casino until his retirement.

Calvin was always very active and in many sporting events. He proudly played softball throughout much of his adult life and coached the "Demons" softball team for many seasons.   Calvin was an excellent cook and knew his way around the kitchen.  He also enjoyed playing cards and snacking on Mars candy bars.  Calvin dressed very sharply and often cruised around visiting with family and friends.  His tender smile and quick wit will be missed by everyone.

He is survived by two daughters, Michelle Frederick and Angel Thompson, both of Bagley; two sons, Chad Thompson of Bagley and Jared Thompson of Rosemount, MN; one sister, Gloria LaFriniere of Bagley; 13 grandchildren; and 29 great grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his parents: Marceline and Charles Halvorson and Lester Thompson; two daughters, Tracy and Dawn Thompson; his granddaughter, Jandy Frederick; one sister, Carol Wright; one niece: Misty Wright; a great niece, Chelsey Martine; and a great nephew, Ryan Martine.
