Publish in a newspaper
Visitation will be from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Friday, August 15, 2025 at Hoffmann Schneider & Kitchen Funeral Home & Crematory.
Jack was born on December 3, 1951, in Epworth, IA, the son of Walter and Margaret (Koerperich) Scott. He was united in marriage to Ronna Ring on April 9, 1976 in Asbury, IA.
Jack graduated from Western Dubuque High School. He hung drywall his whole working career, most recently for American Sheet Rock, retiring in 2016.
Jack was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed both hunting and fishing. He had a fondness for classic black-and-white westerns, with Gunsmoke being a particular favorite, and watching wrestling. He will be deeply missed by his friends with which he shared coffee each morning. Above all, Jack found his greatest joy in spending time with his grandchildren, especially attending their sporting events, he was their biggest fan.
Survivors include his wife, Ronna of Dubuque; four children, Chantel (Shaun) Manning, Gina Scott, Heather (Travis Nauman) Scott, and Chris Scott all of Dubuque; nine grandchildren, Aidin Bettcher, Noah Manning, Brianna Brillhart, Morgan Bettcher, Treyton Orange, Zoie Bettcher, Blake Bettcher, Khaleesi Scott, and Joselyn Nauman; one sister, Glenda Scott of Epworth; one brother, Randy Scott of Farley; and -in-laws, Darryl (Judy) Ring of Lake Elsinore, CA, Renee (Larry) Kirby of Dubuque, and Tracey Ring of Dubuque.
Besides his parents, Jack was preceded in death by two siblings, Bob Scott and Linda Young; and one brother-in-law, Mark Ring.
