BRÉYANTE MICHAEL THOMPSON was born to Jateeyia Thompson and Jose Olivo-Noble in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Tuesday, August 15, 2006 at the Harrisburg Hospital.. He received his formal education in the Harrisburg School District. He attended Melrose Elementary where he was learning how to communicate with voice buttons due to him not being able to speak, but he also had his own way of communicating with you by throwing his hand up over his face or waving his arm to let you know he needed something! “YAYO”, as Bréyante was affectionately called, was a fighter as soon as he came into this world and he fought until the end. He had a smile that would light up any room. He loved watching Disney’s Cars, watching westerns with his grandpop and snuggling with his favorite stuffed animal, “Elliot”, his new friend, “Dolphy” the Dolphin and his Nana. On Saturday, July 12, 2020 in the peace and love of his home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Bréyante Michael Thompson, at the age of 13 years, 11 months and 4 days, peacefully transitioned from earth to glory. He was preceded in death by his maternal great grandparents, Helga and William Thompson; his maternal great aunt, Macelia H. Thompson and his maternal great uncle, Alfonso Thompson.
