Thomas P. Lumpkin of Cheyenne passed away peacefully at his home after a short battle with lung cancer.

He was born February 3, 1934 in Havre, MT to John S. and Mary Martin Lumpkin. He served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict as an airplane mechanic. He was a member of St. Mary’s Cathedral and the Knights of Columbus.

He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Cecelia Bentley, Betty Lumpkin, John S. Lumpkin, Jr., Mary Lou Williamson, and William E. Lumpkin. He is survived by his cat “Boots”, ten nieces and nephews, and ten great-nieces and nephews.
