Mr. Thompson died Monday, September 9, 2019, at an Oklahoma City hospital.  He was born September 26, 1950, in Talihina to Turner Lee Thompson Sr. and Ferris Armstrong Thompson.

Donald was a dedicated, hard worker over the years...from managing an old hotel for retired men, to working in chicken plants, construction, CNA at the old Valley View Hospital, and retired from Wal-Mart as the door greater/security guard.  Donald did three tours in the U.S. Army in Korea, Viet Nam and Germany.

He was a local rancher who raised race-bred horses..

Donald loved sports, especially football.  He played on a high school state champion team and loved O,U. and the Dallas Cowboys.  Donald was often laid-back and shy, but he had quite a sense of humor too.  But, as a friend, he was honest, loyal and helpful in any way he could be.
