Clive Paget of Laguna Niguel, California passed away on July 12th, 2019. A loving father and grandfather, he remained active and engaged with a wide circle of friends across the county and beyond. Clive’s lifelong passion was sports of every kind, bringing him pleasure right up until his sudden, unexpected departure.
Clive Garrick Paget was born in Seattle, Washington on July 5th,1939. His mother, Gladys Marie Tennyson, was born in Seattle, Washington in 1904. His father, Claude Oliver Paget, was born in London, England in 1882. The family moved from Seattle, WA to Santa Ana when he was 12 years old. Clive graduated from Santa Ana High School (’58) and California State University Long Beach with a degree in Business Administration (Cum Laude) ’63. He served our country in the United States Army Reserves and achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant at Fort MacArthur, CA.
An astute businessman, Clive worked primarily as an accountant, comptroller, and Finance VP for a number of companies including McClintock, California Steel, Quintana, Cambro, and Case in California and Arizona.
Clive was an energetic, eccentric and religious man with strong beliefs and genuine compassion for young and old alike. He coached his sons through every season of youth baseball and football and achieved the ultimate dream of an undefeated season along the way. As an empty nester, he continued to volunteer and coach youth athletics for another two decades.
He also had a soft heart for those less fortunate and contributed his time, treasure and talent for the last twenty years of his life. He volunteered with numerous elementary school reading programs in Phoenix and Orange County and a myriad of programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Special Olympics, Saint Timothy’s Food Pantry, and worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate. The biggest place in heart, however, was reserved for his best friend Smarty.
Clive is survived by his beloved sons Mark A. Paget of Stormstown, Pennsylvania and Paul S. Paget of Rancho Santa Margarita, California; Daughters in law Kristina Paget and Melissa Paget; Grandsons Jacob Paget, Kyle Paget, Alexander Paget, Jaret Paget, and Justin Paget.
