Scott was a music teacher and director for the Cedar Rapids Community School from 1998 until his retirement in 2022. He was the director of multiple show choirs, including the Roosevelt Middle School Regeneration, the Kennedy High School Chanteurs, Sunshine Express and Protégé, the Harding Middle School Neo Classic and Neo Voce, the Sweet Adeline’s and various church choirs. Scott loved teaching kids and directing show choirs. In his lifetime, Scott taught thousands of students and shared his love of music.
Scott enjoyed fishing and was an avid fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Chicago Bears. Scott liked anything Disney and decorating his yard for the holidays. He had a corny sense of humor and had lots of dad jokes, but most of all he loved spending time with his family and was always there for everyone. Scott will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
