Timothy N. Thomson, 77, of Columbia City, died peacefully at 6:55 p.m. Tuesday, January 4, 2022, surrounded by his family, at Story Point Senior Living, Fort Wayne, where he had been a resident for the past seven months.

Born on August 26, 1944, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he was a son of the late William C. Thomson, Jr. and Annabel (Miller) Thomson. Growing up in Columbia City, he completed elementary school at West Ward and graduated from Columbia City Joint High School in 1962. He continued his education at Indiana University in Bloomington, earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1966.

He returned to Columbia City and joined the family business Thomson’s Whitley County Motor Sales, a General Motors dealership. After 44 years in the business, he retired in 2010 after the business was sold.

His family remembers him as an intentional man. Excited about traveling, his ventures took him all over the globe. In his younger years, he ran marathons, played golf regularly, and held a private pilot’s license.

Charles (Amanda) Thomson of Phoenix, AZ; former wives, Sandra Thomson of Fort Wayne and Rhonda Jagger of Indianapolis.

Additionally, he was preceded in death by a sister Jane Ann Costanza, a step-daughter Christina Martin, and former wife, Melissa Thomson.
