| About | SEATTLE, Wash. - Scott Richard Summers, age 67, passed away Feb 16, 2020, due to complications from a sudden illness. A Penn State engineer, Scott moved to Montana in service of his passion for hunting. There, he met the love of his life, Kristi Johannsen. He proposed on their second date, and they tied the knot on July 27, 1985. Together, they had three children: Justine, Amanda, and Gregory. Scott also raised several bird dogs and a lot of hell. Scott was known to bake elaborate birthday cakes for his children and to send his Neapolitan Bars and fruitcakes to his 'A List' at Christmas every year. He laid tile, landscaped yards, and planted a pie garden so Kristi could bake him all the cherry, raspberry, and rhubarb pies he wanted. He taught his kids to train dogs, work hard, parallel park and break the rules the right way. He took them to the beach and on roller-coasters. He had a lifelong love of the Pittsburgh Steeler's, old Westerns, Black Velvet on the rocks, and cooking. Scott and Kristi recently moved to Missoula after 22 years in Billings. Scott had sold his pump company and was settling into retirement. He is survived by his wife, Kristi Summers; his faithful and beloved bird dog, Zoey; and his children, Justine Summers (Noah Rich), Mandi Summers (Ralston Coorough), and Gregory Summers. He is also survived by his sister, Leanne Dresmich (Rusty); his brother, Jeff Summers (Cindy); his cousin, Chris Polito (Jeanne); his brother-in-law, Gary Doohan; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by both of his parents; his brother, James Summers; and his sister, Mary Doohan. |
