Our loving dad, brother, uncle and friend, Scott Schofield, completed his mortal time here on Earth returning to Heavenly Father on Dec. 27, 2017. Scott was born July 2, 1971, to Colleen Thomas Schofield in Tooele, Utah. Scott was one of a kind and made instant friends with his contagious smile and witty sense of humor.
Scott graduated from Grantsville High School with the class of 1989 and made many lifelong friendships while there. Scott loved cheering for the Utes, playing basketball, four-wheeling and being outdoors. He was employed by Mellor Engineering as an environmental technician and owned Scott’s Detailing which made hundreds of cars shine.
The greatest honor of Scott’s life was being Colton and Mckenzie’s dad. They were his pride and joy. Anyone who knew Scott knew of his deep love for them, he lived for the moments spent with his kids. He loved Heavenly Father and was very devoted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served in many different callings in the different wards he attended over the years.
Scott was preceded in death by his mother, Colleen Thomas Schofield and his grandmother Hope (Jolly) Hale. He is survived by his two children: son Colton Scott and daughter Mckenzie Jane, his sisters: Sheri (Hank) Thompson, Vicki (Joe Higley) Powell and Jim Thomas (Brother); along with many nieces and nephews.
There are many who will miss his smile, wit and laughter. Scott will leave this earth a little dimmer and heaven a little brighter.
