On April 13, 2019, the body of Tom Lewis Repogle was discovered at his residence in Montesano, Washington. The circumstances surrounding his death revealed that he died of natural causes. Unfortunately, despite the peaceful nature of his passing, the subsequent investigation into his next of kin revealed a sadder story. His spouse, child, and sibling had all predeceased him, leaving him with no immediate family to claim his remains.
Despite efforts to contact potential relatives or interested parties, Tom Lewis Repogle's body remained unclaimed. With no surviving family to arrange his final affairs, the responsibility fell to the Grays Harbor County Coroner's Office. The office, located at 1006 North H Street in Aberdeen, Washington, took charge of the case under the agency case number 2019212. Striving to maintain dignity and respect for the deceased, the agency handled the matter according to their established protocols.
Residents and others who may have known Tom or have information about his background are encouraged to contact the Grays Harbor County Coroner's Office. They can be reached at 360-532-3015 or through their official website. This outreach is an effort not only to lay Tom to rest with dignity but also to ensure that those connected to him, however distantly, have an opportunity to participate in his memorialization.
