Scott Pulsifer

Scott Lan Pulsifer was born March 20, 1959, to William Scott and Janice Ruby (Laubach) Pulsifer in Shreveport, Louisiana.

With his father in the United States Air Force, Scott spent his childhood between Louisiana, Germany, and Nebraska. His lifelong love of speed began at the age of 7, when he saved up to buy his first motorcycle. He attended high school in Bossier City, Louisiana, and Papillion, Nebraska, where he graduated in the Class of ’77.

On graduation day, Scott packed up and rode his motorcycle to Louisiana, where he would reside for the rest of his life. There, he welcomed into the world two children, Eric and Jennifer, and was united in marriage to Sharon Elaine (Smith) Pulsifer in Haughton, Louisiana, on October 10, 1992.

Scott’s belief in leaving things better than he found them extended to the nature he loved to take in, the work he prided himself on, and the lives of the people around him.

A fearless thrill seeker and adventurer, Scott lived by the motto, “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space,” and spent much of his free time riding through deep woods with friends and exploring the outdoors with family. He was strong of body and opinion and had a big laugh and an even bigger presence. He was a hard worker with seemingly endless energy, a playful prankster and joke teller, an animal whisperer and a friend to spiders, a champion racer and pizza eater, a roadside treasure hunter, and a dedicated protector of his friends and family.

He passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, after a battle with glioblastoma.

Scott is survived by his wife, Sharon; children, Eric (and Lisa) Pulsifer of Austin, Texas, and Jennifer Pulsifer (and Ty Holdsworth) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; sisters, Penny (and Steve) Wilson of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, Mary Pulsifer of Lincoln, Nebraska; brother, Mark Pulsifer of Plattsmouth; mother-in-law, Alice Smith of Minden, Louisiana; two grandchildren, Beatrice and Merritt; three cats, Honeybee, Billie, and Lucy, and many treasured friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.

At the family’s request, there will be no visitation. A private memorial will be planned for a later date.
