Scott Reath Obituary
Scott Zimmerman Reath, age 53 of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin passed away unexpectedly due to complications from a fall on Saturday, February 22nd at Aurora Baycare Medical Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He was born on August 24th, 1966 in Norwalk, Connecticut to Robert and Patricia Reath. Scott grew up in Easton, Connecticut with his two siblings Michael and Christina Reath, where he attended Easton Public Schools. While attending Wittenberg University, class of 1988, Scott met his beautiful wife, Ginger Hummel.
It's impossible to convey what a unique individual Scott was; he was not afraid to be himself and brought a joyful spark to the world that cannot be replaced. Scott would never fail to make you laugh and was never ashamed of his quirky way of wandering through life. He is survived by his wife Ginger; children Alex, Janey, Robin, and future daughter-in-law Cassie Verbout; parents Bob and Pat Reath; sister Christina Reath Green, her husband David, and their children Eric, Maggie, and Emily Green; brother Mike Reath and his wife Alice; his in-laws the Hummel, Anderson, and Kenyon families; dogs Lila and Rosie and cat Meka; and countless other family members and friends.

Ginger, Alex, Jamie, and Robin-
The entire Verbout family has been with you in prayers and sympathy. Your loss is so difficult to understand and so tragic for everyone. We want you to know that we so fortunate to have sometime to get to know Scott- who was very caring , charismatic and fun in time together. We see Scott's reflection in how wonderful a person he is in all his family and how special we have been treated in our time together. We want to thank Scott for his fun and caring spirit he shown us in Wis Dells and California. We also could see how very proud and happy he was of his family- especially when Alex completed his PHD. We are so lucky to have Scott with through his wonderful son Alex- who can only be so special because of his parents.
We are all deeply sadden for the lose of Scott - we will continue to pray for all grieving and know that is now looking after all of us in heaven.
Love and God Bless!

Ginger I was very surprised and dumbfounded by Scott's death. I have very fond memories of you and Scott at Wittenberg. I attended several NASCAR races with him and the ole boys. This sucks and if there's anything that I can do to help you and the kids let me know. Fred Ward
