His love for music was shared with the world as he was a part of several bands to include 21st Century and Positive Force. You could often find Tee in the DJ booth spinning for parties and functions. He always knew the latest line dances and would be quick to correct your steps. He had a true love for Jazz and also spent much of his time attending live concerts with family and would often make his way backstage to meet the artists and crew. He was the life of the party. Tee’s infectious personality will truly be missed but the family is comforted by knowing that he truly lived life to the fullest each and every day.

My deepest sympathy to the Thompson family during this time of grief. Tee was a man of many gifts and talents. He was the sound engineer for the Positive Force Band assuring that when we hit the stage, there were no worries. Tee was also a percussionist, and road crew member, and you would often find Tee using his dancing moves to entertain the ladies!! Tee was unique to many, and I never left his presence without having a good conversation and a hearty laugh. Sleep now, my dear friend, forever remembering your spirit. Brenda Reynolds.

My Condolences and Prayers to the Family. Rest Well My Chess Friend. You are a Great Brother!😇🙏🏿🙏🏿👊🏿

Our deepest sympathy to the Thompson family for your loss. "Tee" was a lifelong friend and a music aficionado. He loved to play chess, basketball and was a very good drummer,but his forte' was being a sound engineer. The sound guys for other national acts always gave him big respect and never bothered him when working with their equipment. Whenever we'd do a show he would say "I got you, I'll make sure that bass is slammin". He was a kind man and soooo funny. He was loved and will be missed. Eric Arrington & Family.

Aunt Joan and all the family. Our hearts and love go out to all of you during this difficult time. We pray that the memory of Tee bringing smiles to everyone around him from the time we were growing up in our neighborhood, and throughout his life can bring some level of comfort. We shared a lot of good times with Tee, and he was unmatched when it came to working the soundboard with his various bands (including when I performed with him all those years as part of our "Looking Glass Band"). One of my best memories of Tee was when our band would hit a James Brown cut and Tee would take the stage and work his JB moves (again, unmatched to anyone) while working the crowd as they lost their minds watching him and cheering. No matter what may have been going on in Tee's life, he always showed up when and however needed for others, and he always made sure you felt good and laughed. That was who he was and what he was about. Love you and miss you Cutty, and much love to all the Fam. Peace and Blessings Be With All of You, Byron & Lori (Fordham)

Tee was a friend from John Harris. Always cool and could dance his butt off. I don't ever recall Tee mad or arguing with anyone. He was about enjoying himself. God bless you family at this difficult time and in the hard times ahead. I pray you are able to have the unsurpassable peace of God. Brenda Cameron Glenn Oberlin, PA
