Title: Randy C. Scott
Date: 6/1/1961-2/21/2023
Inscription/Marks: 6/1/1961
Summary: Randy C. Scott, 61, Watford City, ND, passed away February 21, 2023. Surrounded by family and knowing how beloved he was, Randy peacefully completed his battle with bladder cancer and went on ahead to heaven. A memorial open house was held February 24, 2023, at the Watford City Assembly of God Church. His funeral was held April 8, 2023, at Plummer Bible Church, Plummer, ID, with burial in the Plummer City Cemetery. Randy was born in Spokane, WA, to David and Peggy Scott, on June 1, 1961. He spent his early life in Plummer, alongside his three siblings. The years were filled with hunting, hard work, and a very impressive high school career at Plummer High (Class of 1979) that he remembered fondly for the rest of his life. Before graduation Randy committed his life to Christ, a commitment he kept faithfully. After acceptance into four major military academies, Randy chose the United States Coast Guard and served with honor for 14 years. During his time in the service Randy met fellow “coastie” Deborah Prentice who would later become his wife on June 2, 1990. After leaving the USCG Randy chose to stay in the last town he was stationed in, Mobile, AL, and build a life that included owning two businesses, running operations for private security, and of course, his proudest accomplishment, becoming a father to five children. Eventually Randy decided it was time for a new adventure and moved the family to Watford City, where he worked as a plant operator, was very involved in the local community, built many lasting friendships, and experienced being a very loved “papa” to three beautiful grandchildren. It was a beautiful life. He is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Debbie; his children, Megan (28), Joshua (25), Micheal (22), Alva (19), and Daniel (17); grandchildren, Aaliyah, Madisyn and Amelia Smith; his mother, Peggy Blackburn; three siblings, Patrick Scott, Clint Scott, and Tracy Dole, as well as a very loved stepfamily and countless in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many friends. He was preceded in death by his father, David Scott, and beloved stepfather, Joe Blackburn.
