Summary
The last Companion to pass away was 'Amir bin Wathilah al-Laithi, known by the kunya Abu al-Tufail. He died in Mecca in 110 AH and had been with the Prophet for 8 years. Al-Dhahabi described him as the last of the generation who saw the Prophet SAW, and Ibn Abdul Barr likewise named him the final Companion. This accords with the Prophet's indication that the Companions' generation would end within about a hundred years.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
