Thomas Cloutier Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels - Coon Rapids on Jan. 16, 2026.
Thomas "Tom" Allen Cloutier, age 72, of Coon Rapids, MN passed away January 9, 2026.

Tom was a devoted husband, father, grandpa, brother, and son, and was well known for putting his "M & M Girls" at the very top of his list in everything he did. His life was defined by loyalty, quiet strength, and a deep love for his family.

Preceded in death by his beloved wife of 39 years, Melanie; Louis Cloutier (father), Vicki Brockcamp (sister-in-law). He will be deeply missed by his daughters, Melissa (Brock) Lautenschlager and Michelle (Tim) Spartz; grandchildren, Abe, Marjorie Kay, Evan, Mya, and Nora; siblings, Marg (Orlan), Pam (Paul), Lynn (Ron), Mary, Joe (Mary), Sue, and Patrick; in-laws; Ron, and many other family members and close friends.

Tom was a steady, grounding presence who found joy in simple moments-time at the summer cabin with his loved ones, going to car shows with his family, spending time with his girls, lending a helping hand when asked, wood working or rebuilding his Corvair. His love for his grandchildren shined bright. Tom carried Melanie's memory with him every day and continued to honor the life they built together.

Memorial service 11AM Thursday January 22nd with vistiation one hour prior to service at the Washburn - McReavy Coon Rapids Chapel. A reception will follow the service at the Coon Rapids VFW

Wearing flannel and jeans are suggested to celebrate Tom's type.
