Robert Keith Scott

Robert Keith Scott was born on October 5, 1956, at Perrin Air Force Base in Sherman, Texas, to JoAnn Winslett and James Robert Scott. He passed away peacefully in Riverton, Utah on November 10, 2026, with both his daughters at his side.

Robert was raised in Oak Hill, Texas by his mother JoAnn. He spent summers at his grandparents’ farm in Driftwood, Texas helping with the garden, milking cows, and fishing in Onion Creek. When he was just 12 years old, he started working with his grandpa and uncle learning the concrete trade. Around that same time, is also when he met his lifelong best friends, Jeff McDaniel and Jack Housworth.

In 1970, his mother married his stepfather, Lamar Angell. Lamar introduced Robert to the rodeo life, and bought him his favorite roping horse, Kool Question. Lamar also joined Robert in working with concrete and continued to do so for many years.

He graduated in 1975 from Crockett High School in Austin, Texas. He was the ultimate cowboy! He loved his time as a rodeo clown/bullfighter and all his days at Hill’s Arena.

On January 29, 1983, Robert married Jennifer Moore and they had two beautiful daughters together, Heather and Amanda. Although they divorced in 1986, they went on to be friends and enjoyed their daughters, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter they shared. Jennifer continued to be there for him until the end.

After his battle with leukemia, he spent the following years starting his own concrete company, Cochise Concrete, judging bull fighting, watching his “country westerns”, and rooting for his Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys. One of his favorite things was drinking a cold beer on the beach and listening to Kenny Chesney.

In 2011, he began dating Cindy Coleman and although their lives ultimately took different paths, they shared many beautiful years together. Together with Cindy and her two daughters, Jessica and Callie (whom he loved like his own), he created many memories and a family connection that will never be forgotten.

In 2022, he had the opportunity to connect with a biological son, Troy Stone. They met later in life, and he was grateful to have had that time with him.

Robert’s greatest joys were his daughters and the memories they all created will be cherished forever. His life was full of loving family and friends, and he was always so thankful for that. As his memory started to fade in his later years, he still remembered all the people he loved. He had the most infectious laugh, loved large, and will be deeply missed. In the famous words of Robert, “Take care of you for me…”

He is survived by his two daughters, Heather Scott (Michael Miller) and Amanda (Mike) Skowronek; grandchildren, Brenden “Kade” Scott (Madi Dunbar), Braxton Skowronek, Austin Skowronek, and Ryker Miller; great-granddaughter, Maddyn Scott; sisters, Cindy Lind and Julie Taylor; aunt Nellie Maddox; Troy Stone, Cindy Coleman, Jessica Cooper, Callie, Jack, and Brennan Wilson, and many other family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his loving mother, JoAnn Angell, stepfather Lamar Angell; sisters, Vanessa Proud and Scarlett Angell; brother-in-law, Jack Lind; and nephew, Mike Clark.
