By NewsPress Now
WATERLOO, Ill. – Steven C. “Steve” Scott, 68, of Waterloo, Illinois, died Dec. 9, 2023, in St. Louis, Missouri. He was born Sept. 24, 1955, in Valdosta, Georgia, and spent his childhood and early adulthood in Northwest Missouri.
Whoever said never to trust a man with two first names never met Steve Scott. You didn’t have to know Steve for long to know he was the type of person you could count on, whether you were a stranger, customer, neighbor, friend, or a member of his beloved family. He could talk your ear off, but the silence he’ll leave in his wake will be deafening.
Steve had a sharp, analytical mind that he constantly pushed with new challenges and ideas. Not one to let age or illness slow him down, he lived vivaciously, letting his kindness, joy, values, and ambition guide him until the very end.
Steve was preceded in death by his father, Max Scott.
He is survived by his wife, Cathy Scott (nee Thomas), originally of Stanberry, Missouri; daughters, Melissa (Dave) Anderson, of St. Louis, Kristin (Jarod) Chiasson, of Waterloo, and Abby Norwood, of Portland, Oregon; grandchildren, Carter, Riley, Thália, Cecilia, Olivier, Julian, Norah, and Lennon; mother, Claudine Sue McDowell, of Albany, Missouri; and sister, Linda (Eddie Stein) Scott, of Chula Vista, California.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 13, at Sugar Spring South, in Waterloo, Illinois. As published in the St. Joseph News-Press.
