Scott Cotey Obituary
"Always live life to the fullest" was Scott's personal motto. Throughout his life he displayed passionate zeal in his pursuits such as football, water skiing and bodybuilding in his youth. Scott will always be remembered for his kind, warm spirit and his fun-loving nature as well as his love of animals.
Scott was a devoted father to Taylor Alexandra, 30, Brayden Scott, 29, and Colin Montgomery, 26. He was married to Jacquelyn DeChant Cotey for 21 years. Scott is also survived by his brothers Bob Cotey (Chris), Jim Cotey (Judie), Kelley Starr (Laurie), his sister Patty Starr, and many nieces and nephews.
Scott will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A memorial service to celebrate Scott's life will be held at the Machine Shed in Pewaukee on Friday June 28th from 4:00-8:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Rainbow Community Care in Scott's memory.

Scott was a big, strong man in many ways. He was a leader in our college fraternity and together we all had endless amounts of fun and laughs. So many good times. He helped whip some of the younger guys (like me) into shape. He will live on in all of our best memories of those days.

My condolences go out to Scott´s family in this difficult time. I never had the pleasure of knowing Scott, but I am friends with his brother Bob. If Scott was anything like Bob, then the world will be missing a great man. May family and friends comfort you, and rest assured, Heaven is welcoming Scott with open arms.

I didn´t have the pleasure of meeting Scott,
I did work with his Brother Bob.
It was a pleasure to be a co-worker of Bob and without meeting Scott, his legacy lives on through his Brother!
My thoughts and Prayers to the Family!
