Richard (Rick) L. Thunstrom

January 5, 1953 — December 27, 2016

CORVALLIS - Richard (Rick) L. Thunstrom, 63, of Corvallis passed away quietly at home Tuesday, December 27th, 2016.  He was born January 5, 1953 in Great Falls MT, the son of Victor and Alvina Thunstrom.

Rick grew up in Great Falls hunting, fishing and playing softball with his siblings until his country called him to duty.  Rick served in Vietnam as a helicopter door gunner.  He took pride in his service to his country although it left its mark on him.

His adventures eventually brought him to Missoula where he met his wife Kimberly Norton Thunstrom, the one woman tough enough to stick by his side. The marriage brought to Rick's life a son, Brandon Norton who he loved as his own; and then daddy's little girl, Cassandra Thunstrom Bloomfield.  Rick was a proud husband, father and grandfather and was loved and respected by all who knew him.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents; and 2 brothers, Rodney and Roger Thunstrom.  He is survived by his wife, Kimberly of Corvallis; son, Brandon Norton of Lolo; daughter, (S)Sgt. Cassandra Bloomfield of Colorado Springs, CO; 3 grandchildren, 3 brothers, 3 sisters; and numerous nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews.

Services will be held on Friday, January 6, 2017 at 2:00 pm at the Daly-Leach Chapel, 1010 W Main St., Hamilton, with a reception following in the funeral home’s community room.
