Scott Wiater Obituary
Scott Raymond Wiater, 62, of Appleton, Wisconsin, passed away from health complications on December 15th, 2023 surrounded by his family.
He was born in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin on March 15th, 1961 to Eloise and Ray Wiater. Scott graduated from Appleton East High School in 1979 and immediately went on to work for Harry Wendlandt where he started his career in roofing. Scott was hardworking and passionate about craftsmanship, and eventually started his own business under the name S.R. Wiater Roofing Contractor.
During his time away from work he enjoyed cooking and trying new recipes, gardening fresh vegetables and herbs, and listening to his favorite tunes. Scott was a dreamer and admirer of great artistry, and hoped to one day travel to The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia in Barcelona, Spain.
Scott was preceded in death by his parents, Eloise Seif and Raymond Wiater, and is survived by his wife Candy Wiater, his three daughters Kasi Wiater, Ella Wiater, and Lila Wiater, his three siblings Laura Hermann (Nephew, Justin Hermann), Steve Wiater, and Stacy Wiater (Nephew, Seany Boy Oskey), and his beloved grandchildren Eli Pillow, Kennedy Pillow, and Hunter Westenberger.
Scott was a proud husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He was a generous man that would do just about anything for anyone. Above all Scott was honest, faithful, and will be remembered for his heart of gold.
A viewing for Scott will be held on Wednesday, December 27th from 9-11 am at Wichmann Funeral Home, 537 N. Superior St., Appleton, Wisconsin, with a funeral service to follow at 11:00 am.
