Scott was born on October 16th 1969 in New London, Wisconsin. Scott was a 1988 graduate from Little Wolf High School in Manawa. In 1992 he married his high school sweetheart Tammy Patri. In 2006 they were blessed with their daughter Cassie. Scott is survived by Tammy and Cassie.

Scott loved music and movies. He spent many years listening to the radio so he knew the name, artist, year and what movie the song was in. It was his favorite game to play with his wife and daughter. Sports were his second favorite thing to watch behind his prized Marvel movies. He always had the Brewer and Packer games on. His greatest pride was watching Cassie excel in academics, volleyball, basketball and track and attended as many games and events as he could during her career. He spent his time always caring for his family and workers, never letting them down.
