Above all, Scot was a proud father to his sons, Chase and Caden. He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings: Cathy Dewitt (Jack), Diane Copeland, James VanVleet, and Angie Jackobs (Beau). His extended family includes many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, who will all cherish memories of his vibrant spirit.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert VanVleet and Lucy Singleton, and his brother-in-law, Joe Copeland.

Scot deeply valued the relationships in his life. He shared a special bond with Nichole, his beloved “forever girl.” Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support, standing hand in hand through life’s challenges and celebrations. Scot also held close Nichole’s daughters, Kira and Regan.
