It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the unexpected passing of Andy Thomas, our Senior Vice President for Business Development. Andy was a valued colleague and dear friend who led with heart and put kindness and caring at the center of all he did. He will be deeply missed by all of us. Andy had a 31-year career at Evans Hotels that began as Director of Rooms at the Bahia Resort Hotel, then as General Manager of The Lodge at Torrey Pines, and finally as the architect of our industry-leading revenue management efforts for 25 years. He also managed business development, focusing on mutually beneficial relationships with our many external partners. Andy was a respected leader in the field, holding advisory positions with Expedia Group, Agilysys, Hotels.com, Travelocity, San Diego Tourism Authority, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, and more. In recognition of his contributions to the industry, he received a Gold Key Award from the San Diego County Lodging Association. Evans Hotels was also fortunate to have Andy represent us on the boards of Discover Mission Bay, La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation, San Diego International Film Festival Foundation, and the Rob Benzon Dan Ferbal Foundation. The entire Evans Hotels team extends our deepest condolences to Andy’s family and to the many friends and community he leaves behind.
