Here's an alternative way of solving this. It uses a while loop but takes into consideration empty gaps between rows.

function getLastRow (column) {
  var iLastRow = ss.getActiveSheet().getMaxRows();
  var aValues = ss.getActiveSheet().getRange(column + ":" + column).getValues();
  var row = "";
  while(row == ""){
    row = aValues[iLastRow-1];
    iLastRow--;
  }
  return iLastRow;
}
