Scott was born Jan. 17, 1984 in Mitchell to David and Tammy Vawser. He grew up in Yankton, Woonsocket and in most recent years, Mt. Vernon, where he graduated from high school in 2003. Scott was employed in Mitchell by Walmart, Kmart, Boyd’s Gunstock and was presently working at Coborn’s. He touched the heart of many people, always laughing and hanging out with friends and able to put a smile on their faces. His hobbies included racecars, mud trucks, video games and most of all, being around his family and friends.
Scott was an avid Chad Greenway, Vikings and race car fan. He loved to collect baseball, basketball and football sport’s jerseys, never wearing any of them for fear of getting them dirty. He gained the nickname, “Paco” from his high school friends because of his love of pizza and tacos.

He was preceded in death by his twin brother, Steven, and his grandparents, Larry and Bernice Vawser.
