Glenn Harrison Thompson went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
Born and raised in Nelson County, VA on February 22, 1948, he was the son of the late Floyd Massie Thompson and Leafie Lillian Campbell Thompson. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers: William, Raymond, George, James, Roger, John, and Freddie Thompson, and by sister Dorothy BIckers.
Glenn was a proud U S ARMY Veteran (1965 -1968) who served in the Vietnam War. He was a graduate from Bob Jones University (1968 – 1972). Glenn was a teacher, instructor, and counselor who truly loved his students. He had a vast knowledge of history, enjoying old books and antiques. More recently, he was a passionate fan of the BJU Bruins. Most importantly, he was a follower of Jesus Christ.
Glenn is survived by his sister, Iris “Jenny” DeHooge (Guy) of Waynesboro, VA and his sister in laws: Dorothy Thompson of Monroe, VA, Opal Thompson of Gainesville, GA, and Loree Thompson of Lakewood, WA, along with many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
The family extends their sincere gratitude to the staff at Richard M. Campbell Veterans Nursing Home and AnMed Hospital, both of Anderson, SC for the exceptional care and compassion they provided. Thank you to all his Greenville friends who helped during his last few years. The family would also like to extend a special heartfelt thanks to Jesse and Kim McCormick who had become his family.
