He taught himself to become a master machinist and master fabricator while working at Jake?s and Englebretch Machine shops. If you could describe it, Scott could build it.

Scott is survived by his loving wife Marty and their daughter Crystal (Kirt) Byerley. His grandchildren Charles, Corallynn and Alexander. His brother Tim (Stacy) Ames, sister Beth Ann (Scott) Harris. His loving nephews and nieces Josh (Tracy) Ames, Carly (Brian) Chapman, Jamie Ames, and Jake Ames. His great nephews Ezra Chapman and Matthew Ames and his great niece Isabel Ames.
