Scott was born on April 19, 1984 in North Platte to Jeff and Lisa (Miller) Brown. During his childhood he lived in several towns in Nebraska and Colorado. He graduated from North Platte High School in 2002.
It was Scott's dream to join the United States Marine Corps, and after high school he made that dream come true. During his initial training Scott was injured and although he remained in the Marines for several months, he was eventually honorably discharged due to the injury.
He worked several jobs after his discharge, most notably as a salesman for Ken's Appliance in Grand Island. He had a passion for his work as a salesman and excelled at his job. Scott also struggled with drug use for some time, but it was his drug use that eventually allowed him entry into one of the organizations that not only saved his life, but also provided him with the social network that molded him into the man he became.
In the end, Scott's true passion was his family. He was an inspiring father, a loyal husband, beloved son, loving brother, admiring grandson, loving uncle, entertaining cousin and a true friend. Scott was taken entirely too early and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife, Evleyn; eight children; Julian, Christian, Joseph, Memo, Xacha, Yesinlla, Fransico and Emillo; his father, Jeff Brown; his mother and stepfather, Lisa and Rick Harness; sister and brother-in-law, Samantha and Brian Muggy; nephews Austin, Zack and Jared; Grandparents, Larry and Karolyn Brown; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Scott was preceded in death by his grandmother, Norma Broeder; and his great grandparents, Tom and Mildred Brown, and Obert and Margaret Daiss.
