Scott Sackett

Scott Lawrence Sackett 1961 ~ 2008 Our beloved son, brother, father, grandfather and friend, passed away unexpectedly in his home August 20, 2008. It is extremely difficult to describe, with words alone, this man and his contributions to our lives and our feeling of loss. Scott was born July 5, 1961 in Barstow, California to Allen Kay Sackett, Sr. and Myrtle Viola George. He grew up in Barstow and had a zest for life and adventure. He married Connie Darlene Weaver in 1980, they had three children and divorced 11 years later. In 1987 Scott suffered a debilitating accident that left him in a wheelchair. At that time he moved to Salt Lake City where he was immediately surrounded by those willing to help him with his recovery. He did not let his accident dampen his love for life. Scott was the most generous person any of us knew. He was always willing to give of his time and resources to help those around him. He had a great sense of humor, loved to laugh and to go fishing with his family and friends. Scott had a great love and respect for his family and was most proud of his children. He loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren and made himself available at every opportunity to do so. He was a great dad and an integral part of the lives of those close to him. We will all miss him dearly. He is survived by his children: Scott Lawrence (Rebecca) Sackett, II, Kristina Marie (Caleb) Harper and Amber Dawn Sackett; parents, Allen and Myrtle Sackett; siblings: Allen (Petra) Sackett, Jr., Craig (Diana) Sackett, Ann (David) Fabrizio, Bret (Michelle) Sackett; grandchildren: Brayden Scott Harper, Zander David Harper, Mason Scott Sackett, Tyker Lewis Sackett, McKenna Jane Sackett, Remington Marie Harper; and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family.
