Fred Scott

On Thursday, November 25, 2021, Fred Scott, loving husband, father, and Papaw passed away at the age of 85. Fred was born on November 25, 1936, in Memphis, Texas to George and Sally Scott. On July 2, 1965, he married LaVerne Elaine Schroeder. They raised two sons Keith (Doc) and Grant (Shorty). He also had a son, Charles (Rusty), from a previous marriage.

Fred was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Pflugerville, Texas. During his lifetime he gained a love for the outdoors and animals. The Scott family spent most vacations fishing, hunting, or at livestock shows. Fred started his career as a welder for Southern Union Gas, and later got a job with the Katy Railroad as a mechanic.  He retired from the Katy Railroad after 30 years of service. After retirement he bought a John Deere tractor which was his pride and joy and started a shredding business.

Fred is preceded in death by his father, George and mother, Sally, sons, Rusty and Shorty, sisters, Bell, Dee, and Sammy, and brothers, George Jr. and Bill. He is survived by his loving wife, LaVerne, son, Doc (Lori), daughter-in-law, Robin Scott, grandchildren, Chris, Colby, Katy (Tresdon), Zach, Shelby (Hunter), and Reagan (Brandon), sisters, Betty (Frank) and Sue (Jim), brothers, Dennis and Walter, along with five great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held on December 2, 2021, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Pflugerville at 11 am.
