Clarence Scott Pehrson

Clarence Scott Pehrson, affectionately known to all as Scott, has been called to his eternal home on November 24, 2025. Scott was born on October 15, 1952, in Scobey, MT, and after a fulfilling life, he passed away in Grand Junction, CO, from renal failure.
Scott's journey on earth was marked by his love for the great outdoors, an affinity for adventure, and a spirit that resonated. He was a man who could find sanctuary in the serenity of nature. Scott graduated from Monticello High School, where the seeds of his future leadership were sown.
Professionally, Scott was a master of many trades. His work as a General Contractor and Motel Owner/Operator was not merely a means to an end but a canvas on which he painted his legacy of hard work and service. His dedication to his community was further exemplified during his tenure as the Mayor of Monticello, UT.
Scott's interests were as expansive as the Utah skies he grew up under. Whether he was horseback riding or hunting, he was a man in his element with a gun in his hand and dead prairie dogs at his feet, embodying the spirit of the American West.
Scott leaves behind a better legacy than his own through his children. Though his son Scott Bradley Pehrson precedes him in passing, his memory lives on through David Anthony, Matthew Troy, Katie Ann, and Lincoln James Pehrson. Each reflects a facet of their father's character, from his ingenuity to his indomitable spirit.
To describe Scott is to speak of a man who had skilled hands and solve problems with his keen mind. He was as interesting as the stories he would tell and as spirited as the horses he rode. His life was a vivid tapestry woven with threads of adventure, service, and wavering faith. Scott's narrative is one that will certainly be told for generations.
As we bid farewell to Scott, we are reminded of his famous words...."if I could buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth, I'd be a rich man".
