Thomas Patrick "Pat" Clemens, 72, passed away suddenly on the anniversary of his mother's death, April 4, 2017, at his home in Eagan, Minn. He also resided in Beaumont, Calif.
He was born in Hibbing on July 26, 1944, to Jack and Millie (Coss) Clemens. He graduated from Hibbing High School and received a B.A. from St. Cloud State in 1968. In his youth, Pat worked as a paperboy for the Hibbing Daily Tribune. He also participated in Soap Box Derby and Golden Gloves.
Pat was a sales representative for Menley James Laboratories (Sea & Ski), Chiquita Banana and Smith Kline Pharmaceuticals. He founded his own company, T.P. Clemens Laboratories Inc., which he later sold.
Pat was involved in the Apple Valley, Minn., and Eagan, Minn., school sports community as a coach. He had a weight room in his home that was open to student athletes, and he was always available to give the extra help they needed.
He was a loyal friend. Whenever he was in Hibbing, Pat spent time visiting his friends' parents who were living in the area nursing homes. He had many other loves too: hot rods, Sunrise Bakery, travel, his mom's fudge, to name just a few. Pat had a love of animals. He cherished his daughter's pets: Chiquita, Gertie and Turkey.
Pat always kept busy right up to the end. He was working in his yard when he died. All who knew him lost a good friend, and he will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his daughter, Heather Clemens; sisters: Kathy (John) Chuk, Bette Jo (Russ) Cox, Pamela "Rabbit" (Dennis) Elj and Trish (Steve) Raukar; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Millie Clemens.
