Daniel ‘Big Red’ Thompson
January 5, 2021
It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing, on Boxing Day, of Daniel ‘Big Red’ Thompson.
Daniel first visited Tupton as a Civil Engineer who laid the foundations for the clubhouse, and later returned as a parent and then Coach to the U13s, putting his heart and soul into bringing rugby to a whole host of young people.
He has been described as a “larger-than-life, genuinely decent bloke who will be greatly missed by all who knew him”.
Daniel leaves behind a wife, Nicola, son, Owen and daughter, Lily. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.
