Joseph "Patrick" St. George, age 63 was born on February, 17 1951 to parents Margaret and Joseph St. George in Minneapolis, MN.  Pat as he preferred to be called died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, November 20 ^th , 2014 from a heart attack.  He is preceded in death by his father Joseph. Pat is survived by his wife of 23 years Tammy; eight children, sons, Joseph, Timothy, Michael, Sean, David, Samuel, Nicholas and daughter Danielle; grandchildren, Myron, Emmet, Isiah, Hazel, Alex and Cash Patrick;  mother, Margaret and four siblings Frank, John, William and Mary Scholz.

Pat was a jack of all trades.  He was a Vietnam veteran serving in the Marine Corps and was also a security guard in the Dominican Republic.  Upon his return from the service Pat began a lengthy career in the broadcasting business.  He began working for radio stations as an advertising sales representative and later moved on to television sales in Austin, MN and after several years he became the general manager of KAAL TV.   The last 10 years Pat has been one of the driving forces behind J.E.T.S. Gymnastics as he and his wife Tammy owned and operated the business together.   Pat loved the children at J.E.T.S. and treated them all as they were his own. He loved teasing them, giving them suckers and attending to their scrapes and bruises.  He will be greatly missed at the gym.

Pat was an outdoors man.  He loved to hunt and fish and to spend his time out on the golf course.  He also loved his children deeply and selflessly, he cherished his family regardless of time or distance, and he celebrated the bonds he made with the many people he called friends.  We ask that you hold close the memories you have of him and celebrate his life and spirit with laughter and joy.    He would find great peace and happiness knowing that he made a difference in each and every one of our lives and that his time here had an impact on so many people.  He truly was a wonderful man.

Visitation will be held Sunday, November 23, from 2 to 6 p.m. in the River Park Chapel.
