Lumberton loses beloved son — Donnell Thompson
Posted Sep 23, 2024
With his unexpected death this week at a young age of 65, there has been an outpouring of grief for Donnell Thompson in his native Lumberton community as well as Robeson County, Chapel Hill, across the state and nation, and in the NFL world. It is not true that only the good die young, but it is true that when they wrap up life, the cut is the deepest.
