Sheldon Thompson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memories Funeral Home - Rochester on Aug. 7, 2023.
Sheldon Bernard Thompson was born September 23, 1971 to Elizabeth Thompson-Gordon and Willie Moss ( Predeceased ) in Rochester, NY. Sheldon Thompson attended East High school where he excelled and broke records playing Football and running Track. If you happen to go by East High School and see their athletic showcase, he's in there for breaking a record doing ShotPut in 1991. After graduating high school Sheldon went on to attend college at Mansfield University in Pennsylvania. He then went on to succeed in his adult life alongside his wife Bukiyah Binion-Thompson. He created a family and was a thriving entrepreneur.
Sheldon Thompson was a saving grace for the community of Rochester and a very talented man with a vision. Sheldon's talent and vision led to the creation of his graphic design business "Teebonikz" where " We just bake em" ! Sheldon has provided the community with affordable and quality T-shirts, cutouts, backdrops and many other things that are with many of you forever. He was the T-shirt man with the plan. He made it his business to make sure that each and every customer was happy and pleased with his products. Sheldon loved his business amongst many other things such as traveling and nature. He and his wife traveled all the time and loved sight seeing. He also loved poetry ; and as we all know Sheldon had a way with words.
Sheldon is predeceased by his father Willie B. Moss, Grandfather Samuel Thompson, Grandmother Minnie Allen, Stepfather Glenford Gordon, Father- in law Edward Binion and Uncle James Thompson.
Sheldon loved his family and he was the epitome of a great father and husband. He was always there for his children in every way possible and for the time he was allowed by god he was a wonderful grandfather or should we say " papa" as Devon would call him. He always put his family first and would do anything for his family. He leaves behind his loving wife Bukiyah Binion-Thompson. Two beautiful daughters, Shylyn Thompson and Shakeir Binion.
