In Memory of Robbie Thomson

Robert Thomas Thomson

1954 – 2025

We are sad to announce that a long time member of our family firm, Robbie Thomson passed away on January 15, 2025. Born and raised in the Comox Valley, Rob had been involved with his brother, Joe, in Thomson Bros. Lumber Co. Ltd. since its inception in 1970 until ill health finally forced his retirement in 2023.

In his 53 years with our business, Rob worked at virtually all the production jobs in the sawmill at one time or another. Rob was also the ‘face’ of our business, since for many years he also handled most of our retail lumber sales. Very much a ‘people’ person, Rob built up a large clientele of long time lumber customers and made many friends in the process. He was well liked by all who knew him, and will be greatly missed by all.

Rob is survived by his two sons, Dan and Matt, his daughter Emily, brother Joe and nephews Casimir and William.
