Virgil Lee Thompson, lovingly known as Lee, died on March 22, 2026, leaving family, friends, and the Amarillo community in deep sorrow.
Born on June 5, 1982, Lee was remembered as a devoted father, brother, son, and friend whose life centered on faith, family, and service to others.
Family members said Lee took great pride in raising his four children, Nathaniel, Leighandra, Aleigha, and Kaleya, and worked as a journeyman plumber who cared deeply about both his craft and the people he loved.
A fundraiser organized by Brandon Thompson described Lee as the heart of the family, someone who made people laugh and never hesitated to help others at any hour.
The fundraiser stated that Lee died while trying to protect family members during a PTSD-related incident, and loved ones are now seeking support for funeral costs, a memorial, and ongoing care for his children.
Memorial and obituary details are expected to be announced later by family members.
