Robert Scott Mayclin

Scott lived an illustrious life that spanned across the globe and aspired to live it to the fullest. His primary passion and joy was his family and is survived by his wife, Wendy (née Knox), of 30 years, his daughters Katie and Eve, a granddaughter Lily, his parents, Terry and Carolyn Mayclin, a brother, Chris Mayclin, and numerous extended family and friends.

A military “brat”, his father was a US Army Officer who, like most military officers, moved often which gave his family the unique experience of living in different counties and encountering unique cultures. This shaped his values during his formative years and would carry on through the rest of his life. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the US Army as a Cavalry Scout and was assigned to Fort Hood, TX as part of the 1st Cavalry Division. During this time, he was deployed and participated in Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield.

After returning from war, he met and fell in love with his future bride. After they were married, their first daughter was born and he concluded his enlistment to pursue a career in autobody repair and an engineering education at Texas A&M University, College Station. During this time, his youngest daughter joined the family, and Scott made the difficult decision to abandon his career of nearly 20 years to pursue one in computer networking. This leap of faith paid off and he flourished, becoming an adept and respected man in the field. He later took another bold leap, striking out with a long-time friend and eventual partner to become an entrepreneur and start a new business. Once again, the risk was well worth it as the company, under the strong leadership and knowledge from him and his partner, flourished. He became something many people strive for, but few attain; a successful businessman and owner of a company that he built with his blood, sweat, and perseverance.

Outside of his professional life, Scott had a passion for the outdoors, fast motorcycles, and fast cars. A vehement life-long learner and keen intellect allowed him to not only enjoy and appreciate his hobbies, but understand them on a level most could not. He used his knowledge and experiences to help his family and friends alike, never turning anyone away that needed help as long as they put forth the effort to help themselves as well.

For those who were fortunate enough to have met and interacted with Scott, they have come away a better person for it. His enthusiasm for life was infectious and allowed others to thrive as well. He strived to care for his family and lay the foundation for his daughters to succeed. He was truly a great man and the world is a little dimmer with his absence.

A celebration of Scott’s life (Irish wake) will be held after the private viewing is complete (location TBD).

Services and a catered reception at The Swan-Law Celebrations of Life and Event Center.will begin at 10:00 AM MDT, 6 June. Once complete, the party will move to Pikes Peak National Cemetery where Scott will be interred with military honors provided by the United States Army.

In lieu of flowers, the Mayclin family asks that you donate to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org/donate.html), the USO (secure.uso.org), or an alternate cancer or military centered charity of your choice.
