Scott Risley Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Scott Risley on December 11, 2024, at the age of 60. Scott grew up in Denver, Colorado and graduated from Bear Creek High School. Scott was a devoted father, friend and son. He brought love, wisdom and laughter to all who knew him.
Scott dedicated his life to managing the family liquor store. He found joy in snowmobiling and taking trips to Mexico with his friends. But above all, he cherished his family. Scott is survived by his children Sean and Branden, his stepchildren Nicole and Kyle, granddaughter Amber, his mother Alice and brothers Mark and Christopher. He is preceded in death by his father Arthur, brother Bud and sister Vicki.
A celebration of his life will be held on Friday December 20, 2024 from 2:00pm-4:00pm at Newcomer West Metro Chapel.
Forever in our hearts, Scott will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
