Scott Douglas Blomgren

Scott Douglas Blomgren passed away unexpectedly at home on March 4, 2023 at the age of 69 years. He was proceeded in death by his father and mother S. Hugo and Marie (Peterson) Blomgren. He is survived by his wife of 43 years Patty (Miller); his beloved daughter Frannie (Brian) Town; twin grandchildren Abby and Jimmy; his brother Karl (Mary) Blomgren; and sisters Jennie Caprella, Cindy Murray and Wendy Blomgren; brother-in-law Mike Miller; and many nieces, nephews and friends. Scott grew up in Roseville, Minnesota. He was employed for 25 years by the Lido Café in Falcon Heights and later in Roseville. He started as a dishwasher in his early teens and progressed ultimately to being the head chef and a part-owner. After leaving the Lido he spent over 20 years in a second career as the plant manager at Primary Automation Systems, handling precision food metering equipment and sterile packaging. Scott was an avid outdoor sportsman participating in hunting, fishing, and camping. He made many friends that valued his laughter, compassion, and generous nature. Patty and Frannie also loved camping and many family vacations were spent camping in northern Minnesota. They always had one or two Golden Retrievers who were included. He volunteered extensively with RAGOM (Retrieve A Golden Of the Midwest), a Golden Retriever rescue organization. Scott and Patty fostered dogs for a while until their grandchildren were born in 2016. He and Patty both retired at that time to be available to help with childcare for the twins. At that time they stopped fostering and Scott started transporting dogs. This became his passion. He loved meeting the dogs and the people. He made many trips to Chicago, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas. One memorable trip was when Scott and Patty took a dog round trip to a specialist veterinarian in Ohio. Just last year he traveled 22,000 miles for the RAGOM transport team. Scott will be dearly remembered by his family and friendships. He has touched many hearts in his lifetime. His incredible work ethic, his willingness to help, his wonderful sense of humor and true generosity endeared him to many. Most of all, Scott was a true "Family Man" who loved all his family with kindness compassion, warm open arms and a giving heart. Although we know he is now free of pain and with our Lord, Jesus, we will miss him every day as we live out our lives without him. Memorials preferred to Golden Retriever rescue RAGOM, as Scott loved the dogs and people so much. Visitation 4-8 PM Wednesday, March 15. Memorial Service 11 AM Thursday, March 16th (visitation 10-11AM) at Holcomb-Henry-Boom-Purcell Funeral Home, 515 Hwy 96 W., at Mackubin, Shoreview.
