We met Scott in the Dominican Republic 2 years ago while he was on vacation. We had plans to meet up as a group this December in Cozumel. He will be missed by many, and we shall have a cold one in his honor.
Sending thoughts and prayers to all of Scott’s family!
I was so very sorry to hear from my son, Scott Bottcher, about Scott’s sudden passing. My deepest sympathies to his entire family. RIP Scott🙏🏻 Charlotte Bottcher-DeBauche
I am so sorry for your loss.I went to school with Scott and he was such a nice guy.And would help anybody that needed help. as we were growing up, he lived on 2nd Avenue, north, and we lived up on the corner on the highway. Our last name was dlouhy
Although I did not know Scott personally, I had the privilege of working with him professionally and witnessing his unwavering dedication as a union steward. His commitment to advocating for his coworkers was exemplary and left a lasting impact on his workplace. Scott’s passing creates a profound void that will be deeply felt by all who worked alongside him. I will truly miss the chance encounters we shared—it will never be the same visiting his workplace without his presence. My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time of losing such a kind and gentle soul.
He went out as any hunter would love to. I’m an avid deer hunter myself, so I can relate. I met Scott when I was a young girl, only because he was my little brother’s Dad. Scott has his kids that most close to him know, but his first child was my little brother, Thomas. Neither of them got the chance to truly know each other and I’ve witnessed that detriment. At any rate, this life is so very short. Let’s all do better if we can.
I will also add that Scott’s first born son, Tom, lost/we lost our mom about 2 years ago as well.
sorry for your loss
