Thomas Eugene Hargreaves, 72, of South Haven, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on March 18, 2026, surrounded by family and friends.

Tom was born on June 25, 1953, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A self-made engineer with a sharp mind and relentless curiosity, he built a life defined by ingenuity and determination. Alongside his partner Ken, they started Rothgreaves & Associates in a garage and it has grown into a thriving and successful business. Over the years, his creativity and dedication led to numerous patents, leaving a lasting mark through his work.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Tom was known for the joy he carried with him every day. He loved playing guitar and singing, often filling rooms, and campfires, with music and laughter. His infectious laugh and easygoing spirit made him someone people were naturally drawn to. He had a way of making life feel lighter, brighter, and more fun for everyone around him.

Tom was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Hargreaves, and his sister, Jaelyn Forsland.

He is survived by his loving wife, Laura; his father, Jerome; his brothers Phillip (Lil) Forseth, Kevin (Sue), Chris, and Jim (Monica); and his sisters Joellen and Jody (Joe). He also leaves behind his children, JT (Peggy), Janet, and Jason (Kristy); his step-sons, Jim Luetjens and Casey Holtz; his seventeen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Tom’s legacy lives on in the family he loved, the business he built, and the countless lives he touched with his warmth, humor, and music. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
