John Robert Cloutier

John Robert Cloutier, age 74, of Rogers, Minnesota, passed away on Friday, April 24. John was born on November 5, 1951, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Frank and Margaret Cloutier. He grew up in Minneapolis and attended North High School. After graduating, he proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Following his service, John built a career as a computer consultant, where his problem-solving skills and dedication were evident to all who worked with him. John was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He shared 53 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Martha. He is survived by his wife Martha, daughters, Abby and Tracy; his son-in-law, Paul; and his cherished granddaughter, Brenda. He is also survived by his sisters Patricia Posthumus; Mollie Biggs (Rick); Carol Meyers (Jack); and Margaret Aude (Dennis), sister-in-law Sheila Cloutier, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will carry on his memory. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Margaret Cloutier, Mother-in law Madeline Chamberlin, and his brother Richard Cloutier. John will be remembered for his humor, kindness, strong work ethic, and generosity. He had a natural talent for fixing things and a creative mind that made him the person others turned to for help. In retirement, he found joy working at a hardware store, where he loved sharing his knowledge and helping others with their projects. He enjoyed spending time in his garage and working in his yard, always finding something to build, repair, or improve. John appreciated a good coupon and never passed up a great deal. Veterans Day held a special meaning for him each year. In his later years, he even took up the unique hobby of panning gold at home, a pastime that brought him both enjoyment and a sense of adventure. John also cherished his winter trips to Arizona, where he found warmth, relaxation, and time to enjoy life with those he loved. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 2, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Angeno's Pizza in Maple Grove. Family and friends are invited to come share a slice and a memory or story of John. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and remembered for the steady presence, generosity, and laughter he brought into the lives of others.
