Scott Gotberg Obituary
1953 ~ 2018
Beloved Scott K. Gotberg passed away Thursday, January 11, 2018 after a short medical condition of uncertain cause.
Born May 14, 1953 to Kenneth Elwood and Leola LaRue Simmons Gotberg, Scott was the firstborn of six children.
Growing up in the farmlands of Draper, UT, Scott was adventurous and devilish; if Scott was around, there was trouble brewing; many mothers worried when their sons headed out the door with Scott. He made his own fun.
Scott graduated, 1971, from Jordan High School, later served in the United States Air Force. Scott was a Journeyman Electrician; currently employed with Central Electric in SLC. Scott was loyal to his employer, and devoted to his customers.
Scott loved the outdoors; in his younger days, he and his pals 'owned' Corner Canyon, frequently visiting Lone Peak and surrounding canyons. He had the luxury of small town freedoms and was sly enough to take advantage of every bad-boy opportunity. Scott lived and played hard and fast.
Scott enjoyed square dancing with his Companion, Sandy. He also enjoyed hiking, fishing, camping, hunting, gardening, helping others, and just being Right!!
Scott is very much loved and shall be sorely missed by his mother; companion, Sandy Dagsen; brothers, Randy (Shauna), Rick (Cindy), Trent (Cathy) Gotberg; sister, Lynnette Moore; nine beautiful nieces, their spouses and children; many aunts, uncles, cousins; step-brother James Robert Kreek (Stephanie); a plethora of friends, acquaintances, and associates whom he loved and who loved him.
Preceded in death by baby sister LeAnn Gotberg; grandparents Simmons/Gotberg; step-father, Thomas O. Kreek; 4-leggers Sammy, Queenie, Bossy; the Ol' Man.
The family offers special thanks to Dr. Barclay Bigelow and staff, as well as doctors, nurses and supporting staffs at Lone Peak and St. Mark's Hospitals.

I was so shocked to hear Scott was ill, I'm really glad I had a chance to chat with him on the Saturday before. I'm glad I had the chance to get to know him.

Oh my goodness ! I am so sorry Scott had to leave so soon ! I talked to Scott a few years ago after Barbara Pedersen died. (Barbara grew up with us there in Draper.) Barbara always said how, growing up , Scott was always so KIND to her. All of the Gotbergs are extremely kind folks. May Heavenly Father carry you at this time LaRue , Randy , Rick, Lynnette, & Trent. May you all be showered in peace.

I would like to give my condolences to Scott's family and friends,
He was loved by so many and will always be in my heart and memories as my step father.
Scott and my mom (Donna) ended there relationship but for 11 years of my childhood life Scott was always there for me and my sister Martha.
As Scott took on the fatherly roll in my childhood years, he taught me many valuable skills that I still carry on in my life today. ♡
Thank you Scott for all your love and special memories I will always cherish them.
Give Queenie and Sam a hug for me♡
