Scott and Jackie loved to travel and were outdoor weekend warriors, the two enjoyed biking, hiking and kayaking with their dog Bailey. Gardening was a hobby he enjoyed. Holidays were some of their most cherished times together.

Scott continued his career as a Lineman while in New York taking him up and down the east coast chasing the aftermath of storms and restoring power as needed. At the time of his passing, he was working as a line inspector in the Long Island area.

Scott was a devoted husband, son, brother, grandson, step-dad and friend. He adored his family and friends and in recent years enjoyed his trips home to Montana, the land that he loved and called home. Some of his happiest times during his younger years were spent hunting, camping and fishing with his dad, brother, Uncle Pat and Grandpa Ted. He always looked forward to their annual elk hunt near Dillon, Montana. He had memorable fishing trips and stories from the Tobacco Root Fishing Trips to Alaska and many summer lake outings. He enjoyed reminiscing about these trips to anyone that would listen!
