Tom Regnier was born in Virginia, Minnesota, and was blessed with a wonderful life. He died at home in Arizona at the age of 80 with Marilyn by his side.

He was preceded in death by his brother Jerry Michael Regnier and his parents Leo Raymond and Doris Mable (Christensen) Regnier. Tom's career spanned 40 years in Marketing Research, ultimately founding Technology Information for Marketing (TIFM). He had 17 years of successful entrepreneurship as an independent consultant. He retired in 2012.

Tom enjoyed his love of music in high school, playing saxophone and clarinet. After receiving a degree in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota he enlisted in the Army. He was stationed in South Korea where he played clarinet in the Army band. It was 48 years later in retirement where he rediscovered his clarinet and joined the Green Valley Concert Band and the Minnesota Valley Community Band.

Tom lived life to the fullest. He found joy in nature -- hiking, running, camping, sailing, biking and in cruising the world exploring other cultures. His infectious smile, words of wisdom and love of family and friends, and enjoying good food will forever be remembered and missed. Primary residence was Minnetonka Beach, Minnesota complimented by Tom's "Happy Place" in Green Valley, Arizona, where the mountains and desert provided peace and many adventures.

Tom is survived by his wife Marilyn (Musser) Regnier of 52 years, his son Kai (Stacie) and daughter Kelly. Grandchildren Isabella Diaz, Drew Olson and Stacie's daughter Makenna Lang. Forever missed by sister Nancy Ashforth and nieces Robyn Ashforth, Lauren Demin and Melissa Hipple.
