He was the son of Mary Ann Newell and Doctor Frank Bernard Osteen. He was a resident of Greer, SC since 1987. Scott is survived by his mother and father, his children, Jayson Scott and Stephanie Paige Osteen, his brother David Osteen, and former wife Joyce Marie Osteen.

Scott grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina where he excelled in several sports and outdoor activities. Scott distinguished himself as an exceptional athlete at an early age and was known as a fierce competitor. Scott enjoyed a life full of sports, being a father, coaching little league, fishing, and growing in his faith. Scott accepted Christ in 1993 and continued to share his love for Christ throughout his struggles in life. On the coming of his last days, he was a disciple at New Start Ministries where he professed his faith and love for Christ openly. Often times he would spend hours in deep prayer and meditate on the word of God. Many called him a walking Bible and he taught many the importance of trusting God under all circumstances, never once losing faith despite the battle he fought day in and day out.
