Scott R. Waddle of Avondale, Arizona, passed away on November 19, 2025, at the age of 60, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Scott was born on March 13, 1965, in Granite Falls, Minnesota. In 1969, he moved with his parents to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, where he later graduated from St. Croix Falls High School in 1983. During these years he discovered his love of music - especially the drums - a passion that became a defining part of his life. Over the decades, Scott played with various bands and cherished every opportunity to perform.
After relocating to Arizona, Scott married and raised two daughters. Scott later remarried his current wife Michelle in July 2016. He built a career in the hospitality industry, helped in opening a bar and managing restaurants, where his warm nature and easy rapport with others left a lasting impression. Outside of work, Scott was a husband, party goer, handyman and much more, but above all he was a great father and an amazing one at that. He truly loved loving his girls. Scott's favorite places were on the water either boating or fishing, on stage with his drums, or vacationing in Mexico or Wisconsin. He always enjoyed entertaining his friends while playing in his band, which he was most recently able to do at Nascar in November. He was also a loyal and devoted Green Bay Packers fan and enjoyed watching the games.
Scott is survived by his wife, Michelle; daughters, Brianna and Brooke; and stepson, Connor Lichtenwalter. He is also survived by his mother, Judy Tanner; father, Randy Waddle (Melva); sister, Kristen Rud (Kim); brother, Thomas Waddle (Shannon); nieces, Allyson Waddle, Amanda Waddle, and Madison Rud; and nephews, Jake Waddle and Matthew Rud.
Although Scott will be missed, his spirit, passion for music, humor, and the deep love he held for his family will continue to echo in the lives of all who knew him. We will honor him, remember him, and carry him in our hearts forever.
May this memory bring comfort and inspire those who loved him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on January 3rd in Glendale, Arizona 12:00-4:00pm
