Scott was born October 16, 1972, in Hastings, NE, to Robert and Judy (Powell) Kleinsasser. He graduated from Silver Lake High School and went on to attend one year of college. On April 16, 1994, he married the love of his life, Denise Klein. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and a shared appreciation for living life on their own terms.

Scott was a hard-working man, dedicating 20 years of his career to BG&S before spending five years at Kip’s Transmission as a skilled transmission builder. He took great pride in his work, especially in building "trannys," a craft he truly loved.

Outside of work, Scott lived for the adrenaline rush. A die-hard demolition derby driver, he never shied away from a challenge and thrived on the thrill of the sport. He also loved riding motorcycles with his buddies and embracing life on the edge — always with a grin and a wild story to tell.

Scott will be remembered for his fearless spirit, his strong work ethic, and his unwavering loyalty to his friends and family.

Scott was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Teresa Burch; niece, April Perry; sisters-in-law, Donna Klein and Fanny Klein; and parents-in-law, Rich & Lou Klein.
