Joe Thompson’s family is mourning a tremendous loss.
The ex-soccer player from Rochdale, who played professionally, passed away after fighting Stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma for the third time. His spouse, Chantell Thompson, shared this sad news. At the age of 36, he left us.
She posted on Instagram, April 17th, that ‘He was at home, a place he cherished, in a serene environment surrounded by family, when he passed away.’ Joe left an indelible mark on countless individuals and we are eternally thankful for his presence among us. Despite the odds, he remained strong with us for as long as he could.
After a lengthy struggle, he stood firm with every ounce of strength he had, following his own course. He fearlessly chose his path each step of the way, drawing nearer and nearer to God while simultaneously being there for countless others. His future plans were meant to extend his legacy, but now it’s time for him to find peace in heaven and watch over us.
Chantelle mentioned that the BBC sports commentator desired a public funeral, inviting anyone who felt Joe had touched their life in any way and wished to pay their respects.
The previous team he was associated with also conveyed their sorrow following his demise, stating through a message, “Our sympathies go out to Joe’s loved ones during this deeply mournful period.
As a diehard fan, I initially recognized Joe mainly for his exceptional football skills, but it wasn’t long before I fell for his warm, captivating character that seemed to spread like wildfire. He tackled every challenge fearlessly, whether on the field or off, making him a true warrior. His journey and unyielding spirit have left an indelible impact on everyone whose life he’s touched, serving as a beacon of inspiration.
At the age of 24 in 2013, Joe received his initial diagnosis for Nodular Sclerosis Hodgkin Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. He remained cancer-free until 2017. Unfortunately, by April 2024, he had relapsed and found that the chemotherapy treatments were no longer effective.
In January, the pair elected to devote their time to each other as they ventured into an authentic healing path, forgoing traditional cancer treatments and simplifying their holistic remedies. (Chantelle’s quote)
