Terry Vincent Clements, 64, born April 17^th, 1951, passed away at his home in Sparta after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, on Wednesday, March 30^th, 2016.  He was born in Prairie du Chien to Paul and Helen (McCauley) Clements.

Terry was a very hard worker and always had a project needed to be done.  This started when he graduated from Prairie du Chien High School in 1969.  He then started work at 3M in Prairie du Chien in 1970, and thereafter retired in 1999.  Terry then moved to La Crosse, and became a self-employed contractor.

He is survived by his three daughters, Angela (Brandon) Yarbrough, Rachel (Terry) Gerke, and Jami (Tim) Gerke, from his first marriage (Shirley Long), as well as their seven grandchildren (Devin, Payton, Paige, Emma, Gracie, Grant, and Parker).  In 1998 on a blind date, Terry met the love of his life, Trish Adams.  On April 24^th, 2004, she became his wife.  She survives, as does her two daughters, Julie (Shane) Smith and Joni (Jason) Krepline, as well as seven more grandchildren (Skylar, Cody, Whitney, Sierra, Jacob, Kadie, and Luke).  He is also survived by his brother, Paul (Tina) Clements, sisters Cathy Rowley, Peggy Messerli, and Becky (Gary) Wilkinson.

He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Ron Clements and other great friends and family members, including a very special cousin Tom.  Surely that will be enough for a good card game.

Terry was a simple man, who loved his family, Menards, his desire to help others, and to enjoy the little things in life!  He will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends; including our great neighbors, Friday Night fish group, and Packer party crew.

Nothing will be the same without you.  Rest in peace and until we see you again…

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Zone (9929 State Hwy. 21, Sparta, WI) on April 23^rd, 2016 from 11:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M.
