He was baptized at the First United Methodist Church in Harlan, Iowa and graduated from Harlan Community High School in 1982. He was united into marriage on May 7th, 1994 to Nicole Heese in Kirkman, Iowa. To this union three children were born: Ashley, Andrea and Abbie. In 2008, Scott started a life with Kim Stessman-Assmann and her children; Kaitlyn, Grant, Garrett, and were later engaged. He started Scott’s Hauling in 1992, eventually adding on a roll off business. Scott owned the business until 2004 and shortly after he moved to Shelby, Nebraska to work for Callaway Roll Offs. He returned home and started working for Prolient and after Prolient he started a supervisor position at Molded products and then went on to be a maintenance technician with Essentia until his time of death. Scott enjoyed fishing, playing pool, golfing and playing tennis. Scott spent many hours on his beloved Harley with Kim. He loved spending time with his family, most importantly his grand babies who meant the world to him. Friends loved him and he loved his friends. Most would describe Scott as a man with a big heart who was able to lend a helping hand whenever he was needed; so with his infectious and giving personality, he was able to become a donor after his passing.
