Scott Matthew Wunderlich, 41, of Marrero, LA, born on December 8, 1984, passed away surrounded by loved ones on January 22, 2026, after a courageous journey marked by faith, resilience, and immeasurable love.

Scott was a devoted husband, loving father, beloved son, caring brother, loyal friend, and a man of quiet strength and deep compassion. He is deeply missed by his beloved wife, Priscilla Brenes Wunderlich, and their children, Peyton Wunderlich, Victoria Addison (Trey), and Destini Cockerham; and his cherished grandchildren, Aurora, Roman, Davina, Selene, and Asher, who brought immeasurable joy to his life.

He is survived by his parents, Gina and Neil Duplessis, and Bill and Jan Wunderlich; his siblings, Neil Duplessis (Abbie), Carl Duplessis (Anthony), Christopher Booksh, and Elizabeth Burns (Bobby).

He is also survived by his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Herbert and Miriam Brenes, and his sisters-in-law, Elky Brenes-Burlette (Christopher), Melissa Escobar (Luis), and Jamie Reed, as well as many extended family members, nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will forever be considered family.

Scott was preceded in death by his grandparents: Dr. Russell and Manuella Ribando; George and Wilberta Wunderlich; and Carl and Shirley Duplessis.

Scott was a lifelong Westbank resident, a proud alumnus of Visitation of Our Lady Catholic School (’99) and Archbishop Shaw High School (’03). Scott was also a member of the Visitation Men’s Club and served twice as Fair Chair of the VOL Cajun Fest, where he built lasting friendships and a deep love for his community and his faith.

Scott worked for over 20 years at the family business, Wego Electric, alongside his dad, Neil Sr., and brother, Neil Jr., where he was known for his integrity, dedication, and strong work ethic. He later transitioned to serve as a Master Electrician at Rob’s Air Conditioning & Heating, where he was proud to work with his dear friends Steven and Jessica Goodwin. Scott and Priscilla also ventured into small business ownership, opening a successful franchise location of Roule Rolled Ice Cream in Gretna, LA, through a partnership with his cousins, Russell and Brandi Ribando. No matter where he worked, Scott was the one you could count on to get the job done and make you smile along the way.

Scott’s life was defined not by titles or accolades, but by how he showed up for his family, his friends, and his community. Whether through a listening ear, a helping hand, or a quiet act of service, Scott made an impact wherever he went. His strength, kindness, and unwavering faith were evident even in his most difficult days.

He met every challenge with courage and grace, inspiring those around him to live with gratitude and love more deeply. Even in illness, Scott continued to be a source of calmness and hope for those closest to him. His journey was not defined by hardship but by the unwavering light he carried throughout his life.

Scott cherished life’s simple pleasures were cheering on the New Orleans Saints, peaceful mornings on the water fishing, soaking up the sun at the beach, and setting sail on cruises with family and friends. These moments brought him joy, laughter, and lasting memories.

A Celebration of Life vigil with words of remembrance will be held on Friday, January 30, at 7:00 PM, in the Visitation of Our Lady School Gym, 3520 Ames Blvd in Marrero.

The family wishes to thank the many friends, caregivers, and Scott’s Fight prayer warriors who supported Scott throughout his journey. Your love and prayers have carried both Scott and his family through this difficult time.
