Scott lived everyday to the fullest, enjoying time with family and pursuing creative endeavors. After earning his MBA from Baker University, he spent more than two decades at Dairy Farmers of America, where his dedication and integrity left a lasting impact. But it was his quick wit, ever-present sense of humor, and ornery streak that made him truly unforgettable.
Scott was a man of many passions. He was an avid traveler and a skilled photographer with a talent for finding beauty in the everyday. He loved woodworking, fishing, golfing, and marveling at the mysteries of space. A devoted Kansas State University fan, he proudly wore purple through thick and thin. And when it came to food, he was never happier than when he was behind a grill, perfecting his barbecue and sharing it with the people he loved most.
Scott is remembered with love and laughter by his wife, Rebecca; his children, Julianne and Matthew; his stepchildren, Alexandra and McKenzie; his son-in-laws David and Dustin; and his grandchildren, Soren, Sloane, and Piper. He is also survived by his parents, Edith and Eldon; his sisters, Lisa and Diane and their families; and his beloved grand-dogs, Petey and Walter, who always knew where to find dropped pizza.
Those who knew Scott will remember his sarcasm and humor, his generous spirit, and his ability to make any gathering more fun—usually with a perfectly timed joke or a plate of something delicious off the smoker.
Scott didn’t want a lot of fuss after his passing; no formal service will be held. Instead, we hope you'll tell a joke, take a photograph with someone you love, enjoy a Pepsi, or spend a moment gazing up at the stars. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to KC Hospice House or Mayo Clinic, two organizations who offered unparalleled support to Scott and his loved ones.
