Scott Alan Levin

Scott Alan Levin, 60, of Edina died peacefully at home on November 12, 2022 surrounded by the love of his family. Scott fought courageously with the cancer that ended his life. He was born on August 23, 1962 in Minneapolis to Sheldon and Carol Levin. He graduated from Minnetonka High School in 1980, and went on to attend the University of Minnesota, graduating with a degree in Business Finance. Later Scott earned his MBA from St. Thomas University.
Scott was united in marriage to Joan Anderson on August 19th, 1989 at First Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls, MN. They have three children, Blake and wife, Kelli, Maria and Julia, and grandson, Theo.
Scott was highly motivated, generous, ambitious, and well-regarded by colleagues. He was the founder and CEO of MidDel Consulting, beginning in 2005. He served those who followed him through a mentorship program at St. Thomas.
Scott was active at Normandale Lutheran Church and Bible Study Fellowship at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie. His faith meant so much to him, trusting in God to see him through this cancer journey, and now welcoming him home.
Scott loved life, especially in the way he loved his children and grandson. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend.
Scott enjoyed cooking, with a passion that saw to every menu detail. He was known for his famous barbecued ribs, which were served up at the cabin every 4th of July. He loved fishing, hiking, biking, watersports and working out, and loved a good conversation by the firepit, with a Scotch and a good cigar. When he needed to relax, he was an avid sports fan, and truth be told, we believe he had a hand in the Vikings win over the Bills last Sunday.
Scott expanded his knowledge with his voracious interest in WWII, digesting large volume historical writings. As recently as last summer, he fulfilled a bucket list opportunity, riding co-pilot in a WWII P51 Mustang fighter plane in Palm Springs.
Scott loved to see different places around the world and was always planning his next trip. As a member of an entrepreneur's organization board, he had opportunities to engage global travel to Greece, Cambodia, and Panama, alongside numerous family trips.
Scott shared his love for Boys Scouts with his son, Blake, as members of Troop 68. He developed many strong bonds with other Scout Dads and troop members. He was a merit badge leader and Pinewood Derby enthusiast.
Scott lived with integrity, as a husband, father, friend, and colleague, living out his core value and belief to say what you mean and mean what you say, always following through with what you say you will do.
And when cancer sapped every ounce of his energy, his smile shone through at the sight of Theo, his beloved grandson. Blessed be Scott's memory!
