Neil Clymer, beloved husband and dad, devoted grandfather, and dedicated community servant. Neil passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on December 1, 2024, at the age of 68 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on January 14, 1956, to parents George and Virginia (Rosenow) Clymer.

He grew up on the family dairy farm in Afton, MN and worked alongside his family until he purchased his own company, Pinky’s Sewer Service, a venture that allowed him to provide essential services to his neighbors while fostering connections within the community he cherished. On June 6, 1987 Neil married the love of his life Denise Sieleni, and together they were blessed with 4 children. Neil was a distinguished member of the Lower St. Croix Valley community, where he served as a fireman for 25 years. His commitment to protecting and serving others was a testament to the enduring spirit of compassion that characterized his life.

Neil’s devotion extended beyond his professional duties; he was a proud Osman Shriner, a committed member of the Masons, and was very active in the St. Paul Valley Scottish Rite, contributing his time and energy to these fraternal organizations with unwavering dedication.

A man of immense integrity and kindness, Neil found profound joy in the love of his family, particularly in his role as a grandfather. His grandchildren were the light of his life, and the memories shared with them will be treasured forever.

Neil is survived by his loving wife, Denise Clymer; children Clarissa (Nick) St. Claire, Eddie (Chelsie) Clymer, DeNeila (Douglas) Weisbrod, and Tommy (Brittani) Clymer; grandchildren Aubrey, Zachary, Edalynn, Daniel, Cathan, Edward, August, Stonewall, Cheyenne, Hayden, and George; siblings Terry (Mary Lou) Clymer, Cathy Muckala and Carole (Jerry) Engebretson ; sisters-in-laws Mary (Greg) Holmen, Cindy (Mike) Conners and Margo Sieleni; many loved nieces and nephews; best friend Dan Lindeman; adored cats Sadie, Ruby and Curly Gert, along with so many dear friends he considered family.
