Scott passed away on November 30, 2018. He was born to William and Corale Parker in Glendive, MT on March 11, 1960. This same year, the Parker family moved to Hay Springs where Scott went on to make his home for life. Scott graduated from Hay Springs High School in 1978.

In 1979, he married Karen Siegrist, to which Shannon Marie (Langford), Christopher William, and Adam Cain were born. On November 27, 1992, Scott married the love of his life, Terri (Gaswick) Galyen, and, with this union, Scott gained three more children, David Dale, Tamara Jo, and Michelle Renee. Scott and Terri celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary just three days prior to his death. 

Scott spent his life working at G&S Auto, Summerville Oil, and then Norm’s/Skeeter’s NAPA in Chadron, raising his children, loving his grandchildren, and just living life.

He once said, “I may not have the fanciest house, fanciest toys, or make much money, but I am happy and that is really all that matters in the end.”

Scott is preceded in death by his parents; parents-in-law George and Bonnie Gaswick; infant son Christopher; nephew Owen Parker; niece Katie Paul-Parker; and grandparents. 

Scott will be forever missed by wife Terri; brothers Brad (Linda), Craig, and Kelly; children Shannon Langford, David Galyen, Tami (Brandon) Sandoz, Michelle Drabbels, and Adam (Lucy) Parker; grandchildren Kavan and Rose Parker, Jace and Kaden Langford, Taylor, Jaydon, Riley, and Ryker Sandoz, Tripp Buettner, and Natalia Drabbels; and nieces, nephews, and many more family and friends.
