Scott was born June 1, 1950, to Ira and Jeannette Johnson in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a Thermopolis High School graduate. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry. Scott worked in the student union as a custodian for four years then spent 30 plus years with Information Technology at the University of Wyoming-retiring in 2010. Scott was a loving and caring father, grandfather and husband.

Scott loved gardening, fishing, woodworking, and all plants. In the past year he was working on growing grapes in Laramie. His last wish was to watch the Cowboy's win in the Bowl game. We had a football party in ICU watching the game.
