Scott was born on Monday, January 9, 1961, in Farmington, NM. He devoted much of his life to his business, San Juan Measurement Standards Facility.  He had many hobbies; he loved fishing, hiking, skiing, riding his motorcycle, and racing around on his four-wheelers. He played guitar, built engines, raced cars, and loved his children. He could build anything! He specialized in certifying equipment for natural gas and oil field companies for thirty-three years in the great San Juan County. Throughout his life, he made countless friends; he didn’t know a stranger and he loved giving to others!

He attended Bloomfield Schools before moving to El Paso, TX, where he attended Eastwood High School and graduated in 1979.

He was a star athlete and earned the title of Texas State Champion Wrestler 5A. He was also a Star Quarterback for the Eastwood Troopers. He loved baseball as a young boy and was an Allstar Baseball player in Bloomfield, NM.

He attended UTEP in El Paso, TX before moving to Farmington to help manage Vista San Juan Estates. He completed his Associates in Automotive Technology at San Juan College and ran his first business, an automotive repair shop, which later transformed into San Juan Measurement. He completed training at Chandler Engineering in Oklahoma for his specialty in certification.

If you knew Scott, you loved him. He had a special way of making anyone in his presence feel welcome with his warm smile. He always had a funny joke to tell, and he loved making others laugh. The center of his world revolved around his children and his grandchildren. He was a proud father to his four kids and “Poppie” to his seven grandchildren. He will be sorely missed.

A Graveside Service will be held for Scott on Thursday, December 15th at 2:00 p.m. at Greenlawn Cemetery in Farmington, NM. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on January 7th, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Farmington, with a reception to follow in the Fellowship Hall.
