Mr. Raleigh Thompson, a son of the late Mr. Edward Thompson and the late Beulah Mae Sanders Thompson, was born in Barnwell County, South Carolina on February 10, 1976.

He received his education at Blackville-Hilda High School.

As God perambulated through his beautiful garden of earthly flower at the Regional Medical Center, Orangeburg, SC, he quietly entered the room of Raleigh and whispered, "peace be thine and your earthly journey has ended".

He leaves to cherish his memories a son, Janeal Trottie of Barnwell, SC; a brother, Randy Thompson and a host of other relatives and friends.
