Scott was born on May 5, 1963, in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Barbara Jean and Jay Edwin Stewart. Scott graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and graduated from Auburn University with a PhD in Psychology.

During this time Scott opened his own psychology practice: Southeastern Psychological Consultant, Inc. He was the recipient of the 2020 Best Psychologist Reader’s Choice Award by the Ledger Enquirer. Scott enjoyed many things in his life; all genres of music, playing guitar, singing, traveling throughout the world with his wife, including all 50 States, Russia, Panama Canal, Iceland, all over Europe, all over the Caribbean, and Canada, pool days, going to the beach and the Nebraska Cornhusker football and the Columbus Cottonmouths. He was a season ticket holder from 1997 until their final season and picked them up again with the River Dragons. What Scott loved was his family, spending time with them, supporting them in their education, goals, aspirations, and making them laugh as only he could. He always tried his best to be the best husband and greatest dad he could be.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Barbara Jean and Jay Edwin Stewart, formerly of Omaha, Nebraska and Springville, Utah.
