Scott Stulir Obituary

Educator, and musician, Scott Stulir loved music and shared it with everyone. The music he shared will remain in the hearts of those he came in touch with. Scott Stulir, 60 years old, of Robinson, TX, passed away Saturday morning, July 29, 2023, with his adoring wife Kittie by his side. He was strong and courageous for five and a half years as he battled End Stage Kidney Failure.

He recently retired from Waco ISD as the Director of Bands. He was not only a teacher, but a mentor, a friend, a confidant, and a counselor to so many students. Many students cheerfully refer to him as "Stulir" or "Big Dog". Scott inspired, motivated, and parented countless lives from 1985-2023. Scott was a 1981 graduate of United Township High School, East Moline, IL. In 1985, he graduated from Western Illinois University with degrees in music education, percussion performance, composition, and electronic music synthesis. From 1985 - 2007 Stulir was the Drum Line Instructor at Davenport Central High School. He is also known for his music recording skills. Many local musicians' careers started through Keoni's Downstairs Studio and Killir Productions, recording studios Scott owned and operated from 1991-2011. Scott composed music for many different high schools, percussion ensembles, WGI, BOA, and DCI groups throughout the nation. Scott performed on stage with Lalo Schifrin, Louie Belson, Denise DeYoung of Styx, and many others. His copywritten music was used on national broadcast commercials, PBS TV shows, and film projects.

Scott will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 34-years, Kittie Tucker Stulir, sister-in-law Jane Tucker, nephew Logan Tucker, niece Caitlin Tucker, and family.
