Scott Ott Obituary
Kaukauna - Scott M. Ott, age 48, of Kaukauna, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes while he was doing something he loved, hunting with friends and family. He was born on April 11, 1971, son of Norm and Judy (Van Heuklon) Ott. He married Beth Juncer on August 5, 1995.
Scott was a teacher at Gerrits Middle School in Kimberly, teaching 8th grade social studies. He had a passion for helping children and was a well-respected educator. Scott was a true outdoorsman, enjoying anything from hunting, fishing, and gardening or planting trees. He was always positive, always up for a good time, and always willing to lend anyone a helping hand. Scott loved traveling with his family and spending time with them at his favorite place, Pelican Lake. He coached his kids in sports and was there to support them in whatever they needed. If he wasn't with his family or outside, you could find him enjoying a good cup of coffee in his favorite mug. His sense of humor, wonderful personality and loving character will be deeply missed.
Scott is survived by his wife, Beth Ott and their children: Garrett, Gavin and Allison, all of Kaukauna; parents, Norm and Judy Ott, Waupaca; siblings: Bob (Bree) Ott, Darboy, Jennifer (Dean) Thoreson, Crivitz, and Troy (Nikki) Ott, Appleton; nieces and nephews: Lucy and Violet Ott, Tanner (special friend, Samantha) Thoreson and their children: Odin and Oliver, Jason, Robbie, Steve and Brandon Thoreson, Kelynn, Jozef and Kerstyn Ott; father and mother-in-law, Dennis and Ann Juncer, Marshfield; sisters-in-law: Katherine Maidment, California, Meg Pyburn, Wisconsin Rapids, Susie Juncer, Madison; nieces: Natalie, Emily and Kaitlyn Pyburn and Amelia Maidment; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Scott was preceded in death by his grandparents: Roger and Amanda Ott and Edward and Lillian Van Heuklon; and several aunts and uncles.
Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon on Friday, November 29, 2019, at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 309 Desnoyer Street, Kaukauna, with Fr. Don Everts officiating. Visitation will be at the church on Friday from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the Mass. For online condolences, please visit www.verkuilenfh.com.

Scott Ott, was a genuinely nice person, who truly cared about the kids he taught and interactedn with! He was a team player and always had a smile on his face, truly a tough loss for JRG and the Kimberly School District. My greatest sympathy to his family along with his brother Troy - Scott will be missed!

I loved working with Scott. He was a champion for all kids and very inclusive in his classroom. I'll miss his witty lines, passion for history, humongous heart, and willingness to always lend a hand or ear. Our Gator family will always be united but this one hurts.

Yesterday our son came home from college and we were discussing Mr. Ott's passing. My son told me he was his favorite teacher in the 8th grade.
We are so sorry for your loss! Our community was a better place because of him. Our family prays for your family during this difficult time.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Scott's passing. I first met Scott when he was 17 and again years later when he was a teacher for both of my daughters. I know he will be missed by many and I hope his friends and family can find comfort in knowing he touched many lives in a positive manner.
