Owen Steven Skott was born on November 16, 1944, in Maquoketa, Iowa, to Oskar T. and Camilla M. (Owen) Skott. He grew up on the family farm half a mile south of the Buckhorn Creamery. Owen helped with the farming operation and eventually moved to the Imagine The Possibilities Home in Maquoketa.
Owen was a very gentle and kind person. He enjoyed working at the recycling and assembling jobs at Imagine The Possibilities. He also enjoyed traveling with his friends at Imagine The Possibilities, especially his trips to Branson, Missouri, and was a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan.
Those left to honor his memory include a brother, Craig Skott of Clear Lake, IA; and several cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents.
A celebration of his life will be held at 11 A.M., Thursday, June 5, 2025, at Carson Celebration of Life Center in Maquoketa. Visitation will be held prior to the funeral from 10 A.M. to 11 A.M. at the funeral home. Burial will be at the Buckhorn Cemetery, rural Maquoketa, Iowa.
