Stephen Thompson of Dallas, who was active in the North Texas LGBTQ community, has died of COVID-19.
Dallas Red Foundation said in a Facebook post, “It is with a heavy heart that we share our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Stephen Thompson, who recently passed away due to COVID-19. Stephen, always modeling a youthful smile, was a true friend of Dallas Red Foundation for many years and is already greatly missed.”

Very sorry for his friends and family! My sincere condolences.
Had he been to the doctor? Was he being treated? Have not seen any information to that being published.
I am not sure you have correct information here. Stephen live in Dallas not Richardson and I don’t think he was the first person in Dallas County to die from the virus. The man found dead in his home in Richardson was not Stephen. Stephen had checked in to a local hospital.
I have revised the post. Thank you
It’s my understanding that Stephen travelled to NYC a few weeks ago and returned around March 5 when he became severely ill at that time and drove himself to a hospital where they put him on a ventilator. He was unconscious for several days, show very slight improvement Thursday but passed away Friday morning.
Are thought’s are with his family, Peace be with you all!
A great friend from my days at Access Pharma. Routinely had lunch several days each week. I was bless to have visited with him in the last year or so before his retirement. God bless you my friend
