Scott married Valerie Jenniges April 4 ^th , 1981.  He passed away exactly two months shy of celebrating 40 years of marriage.  Val referred to him as "Cowboy," and after all those years, the name holds true, as she endured countless renditions of his favorite country songs.  Together they had three children, Jody (Cassie), Jason (Kelly), and Jaime (Zach), and four grandchildren.  Scott enjoyed hunting, lake life, and Coors Light.  He made sure his "mountains" always stayed blue.  He lived and breathed baseball while coaching both of his boys.  After finishing coaching, he found love in the Colorado Rockies and Denver Broncos.

He was proceeded in death by his father, Dick Brandsted, and his granddaughter, Brynlee Palmer.  He is survived by his wife, Valerie, his children, his grandsons, Caden and Chase, granddaughter, Abigail, his mother Joan, siblings, and various nieces and nephews.

Now this is where the "Cowboy Rides Away."
