Scott grew up in Mexia and went to school there. In high school he enjoyed running track and playing golf.

Scott loved to work and for the last 11 years he worked as a control room operator at Oak Grove Luminant where he considered the guys he worked with as his family.

In 2012 Scott met the love of his life, Darla Sue Johnson. On March 17, 2013, they were married and together they built a beautiful life and enjoyed each adventure they had together. They loved spending time with their grandchildren. Scott was happy if Darla was happy.

Scott enjoyed collecting coins, which is something his grandson Tucker enjoyed with him. He also enjoyed watching movies and Scooby Doo with his grandson Carter. Spending time outdoors for family barbecues and going on many trips with his grandsons was also special to Scott.
