Kenneth David Thomson

Kenneth David Thomson was born on August 18, 1949, to Daniel and Alma Thomson in Hawley, Minnesota where he and his 7 Siblings lived until he was 17 years old. In 1966 Kenneth made the decision to follow the love of his life, Delaine, and move to the Seattle area where her father started working for Boeing. Shortly after moving, he married Delaine on August 19, 1967, at the young age of 18. Two years later, their first child Chad was born in1969 and then Tracy in 1971.

With only completing an 8th grade education, Boeing hired him as a laborer shortly after they moved from Minnesota. One of his career highlights was being promoted to manager and after over 40 years of faithful service, he retired in 2011.

Anyone who knows Kenneth, knows how much he loved his German Shepherds. In 1973, little did he know breeding, showing and caring for his dogs would be more of a hobby that turned into a loving passion that lasted over 35 years. In 2009 Kenneth and Delaine earned the prestigious Lloyd Brackett Award.

Kenneth didn’t know he would love to play golf until about the time he was early in his years at Boeing. His father-in-law introduced it to him and his son Chad and the next thing he knew he was going to the golf course each week with his work buddies and enjoying that bond with his son.

Kenny had no enemies. He was a teddy bear kind of a guy and loved his family fiercely and treated his friends the same. He was his bride’s number one fan and best friend for more than 60 years.

Kenny passed away peacefully on 12/12/23 surrounded by his Loving family.

Kenneth is preceded in death by his parents Daniel and Alma Thomson, his son Chad Thomson, brothers Tommy Thomson, Danny Thomson, and sister Mary Ann Thomson.

Kenneth is survived by his wife Delaine; daughter Tracy D. Stultz (Darren), sisters Betty (Frank), Nancy (David), Susan, Barbara (John), and grandchildren Zach and Kristin Thomson, Anthony and Riley Stultz.

Services will be held April 21, 2024, 2pm at the Snohomish Senior Center, 506 4th St, Snohomish.
