Caledonia – Thor Donald Thornton, age 26, passed away unexpectedly at Ascension All Saints Hospital on Sunday, July 7, 2019.

Thor was born in Racine on May 22, 1993 to Kenneth Donald Thornton and Cheryl Rognsvoog-Thornton. He was a 2011 graduate of JI Case High School and was pursuing a graphic arts degree from Gateway. Thor was employed as a demolition expert and finishing carpenter in the renovation of historic buildings at River Place Lofts in Milwaukee. Among his interests, Thor enjoyed hobbies that were adventurous, such as: skateboards, motorcycles, bicycles, snowboarding, martial arts, fishing and hunting. Extremely artistic, Thor's passion was painting amazing wall murals and he was a self-taught tattoo artist. With an infectious smile and friendly personality, Thor did not collect friends…..he collected families. When you became Thor's friend, your whole extended family became a part of Thor's life.  He was an honorable man who always was the first-responding, fast-reacting protector of the weak and vulnerable.

Surviving are his beautiful daughter, Evelyn Mabel Munch (age 14-months); mom & dad, Cheri & Ken; maternal grandmother, Connie (Pellegrino) Klofonda; sisters & brother, Akashia (Elisha Allen) Vasey-Allen (nieces, Kaia Lila and Sienna), Jason Vasey and Tia Thornton (niece, Layla Thornton); loving friend & Evelyn's mother, Holly Munch; many other special relatives, extended family members & friends – too numerous to mention all by name. Thor was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Don and Jean (nee: Kwapil) Thornton and his maternal grandfathers, Leo Rognsvoog and Jim Klofonda.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 11:30 am in Lutheran Church of the Resurrection (322 Ohio Street) with Pastor Karen Pahl officiating. Interment will follow in West Lawn Memorial Park. Visitation will be in Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Saturday from 9:30 – 11:30 am. In memory of Thor, offer a kind deed to someone in need.
