Daniel "Coach" Thompson passed away May 30, 2013. He was born in Louisville, KY on October 2, 1967 and moved to Hampton 17 years ago to be near his family. Daniel was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his sister, Donna Messier and her husband, Bobby Messier; sister, Ann Thompson; nephew, Bobby Messier (Ashley); niece, Angela Bryan (Tim); great-nieces, Katrina and Mary; and great-nephews, Timmy, Alden and Barrett.
Shortly after his arrival in Hampton, he would begin his true love in life and that was coaching the defense for the Kecoughtan High School football team. During his coaching years he touched many lives and during the process, created quite an extended family. He truly loved the players as well as the game.
Our family would like to thank all of the students and staff for all their years of dedication to Daniel. All of you made a huge contribution to his life in too many ways to count. We can never repay all that you did for him. He was blessed to have each of you in his life.
Memorials may be made to the Kecoughtan High School football team in memory of Coach Thompson.
