Scott Bergherr

Born on October 8, 1948, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Scott was the son of Dorris C. (Gerhardt) and Marvin H. Bergherr. Growing up alongside his brother Marvin "Dale" and sister Sharon, Scott spent his early years creating fond memories centered on faith, family, discipline, and endless days of fun on the lake right behind their home. He was fortunate enough to be blessed with a half-brother, Paul, who he connected with later in life. He graduated from MacArthur Senior High School in Aldine, Texas, with the Class of 1967, and answered the call to serve his country, enlisting in the United States Air Force in November 1967.

On September 30, 1977, Scott married the love of his life, Lynne Hyman, in Humble, Texas. In 1981, Scott and Lynne relocated to Northern Colorado, where they built a beautiful life together. Scott and Lynne were true partners in every sense of the word. They did everything together—even the daily chores—and thoroughly enjoyed their retirement years traveling and exploring in their RV.

To know Scott was to know a truly caring, compassionate, and loving man. A simple man who never needed much, Scott had a down-to-earth nature, brightened by a delightful twist of humor. He had a deep appreciation for the great outdoors, enjoying hunting and fishing. He liked watching NASCAR and loved driving fast cars – especially his beloved Ford Mustangs, having owned many throughout his lifetime. Autumn weekends often found him cheering on college football, especially his favorite team, Notre Dame. A devoted animal lover, Scott was rarely without a canine companion by his side. Scott owned and operated G & S Floors in Loveland, Colorado, serving the local community with hard work and integrity until his retirement.

Above all else, Scott’s heart belonged to Jesus, and he lived his life faithfully as His servant. His capacity for unconditional love was felt deeply by all his family and friends—as was his particular fondness for Cool Whip desserts. Scott was as genuine as they come. He will be dearly missed by all who were blessed to know him.

Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Dorris and Marvin Bergherr; his sister, Sharon Vaslavic; brother, Marvin "Dale" Bergherr; his aunt, Lola Bergherr; and a nephew, Bobby Perkins.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 49 years, Lynne Bergherr; his daughter, Teasha Cole (Christian); grandchildren, Donovan Cole, Joshua Cole, and Katherine McCormack; nephews, Shaun Bergherr and Kris Perkins; his brother, Paul Ederer (Sharon); sister-in-law Pat Bergherr (Dale's wife); and his adored pups, Kimber and Daisy.

Scott’s memory will also be cherished by dear friends Pastor Carl Sutter, Dave & Carol Spry, Pam & Chan Libby, Cal & Monica Smith, Stacy & Sherman Papke, Sheila Wolf, and Ryan & Chauri Hendrickson—who were like children to Scott—along with their boys, Briggs, Lincoln, Tyson, and Corbin.

A Graveside Service will be held for Scott on Friday, October 16, 2026 at 10:00am at Resthaven Memory Gardens in Fort Collins, Colorado. Please join his family for a memorial gathering and luncheon to follow.
