Obituary of Kenneth Wallbridge Scott

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth Wallbridge Scott on the evening of September 1, 2020, after a long battle with cancer.

Ken was born on June 30, 1951, in Nokomis, Saskatchewan and was the fifth child of nine children. He helped on the farm from an early age. As the oldest son at home when his Dad was ready to retire, Ken began farming full time after graduating from high school in Nokomis. He and his youngest brother Gerald (Joe) ran a joint farming operation together for a time. He married his first wife, Mary Rink and they had three sons together, Tyler, Jarret and Daniel during his earlier farming years.

Ken served as a counsellor for the Rural Municipality of Wreford and was a member of the Kinsmen Club in Nokomis. When Ken left farming, he moved to Kamloops where he worked for the department of highways. This is where he met Jim Koester who became a life-long friend. He later took a position with the BC Department of Agriculture, where he worked until retirement in 2016.

It was in Kamloops where he met his partner, Elaine Byrne. They shared 27 years together making memories, going on adventures and especially enjoyed camping with their 2 best pals Chloe and CJ. Ken was also an avid hunter and ice fisher and enjoyed riding his motorcycle in his younger years.

Ken is remembered as a caring person with a cheeky sense of humor and a strong sense of family. Pops cherished the times he was able to spend with his grandchildren and held dear memories of their camping trips.

He was predeceased by both his parents, Gladys and Reg Scott of Hatfield and one brother, Bob Scott of Saskatoon. He leaves to mourn his partner, Elaine Byrne, sons Tyler (Sarah); Jarret (Dana), grandsons Connor and Brett; Daniel (Sarah), grandson Albert; stepdaughters Ashley, Kara,and Kelly (Paul); four sisters Lynn Bayne (Garth), Shanne Moffatt (Dennis), Pat Desfosses, Kathryn Hodgins (Lindon); three brothers Richard, Doug (Julie), and Gerald (Sharon); and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

A service will be held next June in Saskatchewan. In lieu of flowers, Ken has requested donations to The Canadian Cancer Society to help create a future without prostate cancer.
