MICHAEL SCOTT

May 7, 1964–Dec. 4, 2025

Michael Scott, 61, of Newcastle, Wyoming, went home to be with the Lord on Dec. 4, 2025.

He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on May 7, 1964, to Mavin and Virginia Scott. He had three siblings: brothers, Greg (Tina) and Kevin (Chris), and sister, Mary.

He married his beloved wife Kathryn Wheeler in Northglenn, Colorado, on Oct. 19, 1985. They were married for 40 wonderful, blessed years. They had two beloved sons, Brian (Ashley) Scott of Ida Grove, Iowa, and Joshua Scott of Windsor, Colorado. 

He leaves behind his beloved sister and brother-in-law, Jan (Andy) Maes; and many cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends.

Michael was employed at RTD (Regional Transportation District) in Boulder, Colorado, for 34 years. He and Kathryn retired to Newcastle in 2019. He loved working on weekends at the Weston County Humane Society. He loved the dogs and adopted two sweet puppies to go home and live with his 13 chickens, three cats, and 15-year- old poodle. His favorite hobbies were flower and vegetable gardening. 

He will be dearly missed by all who loved him.
