Darrell L. Scott, a retiree of Laborers Local 110, passed away on Feb. 2, 2024 at age 64.

Brother Scott, of Washington, Mo., adored his children, grandchildren and great grandchild. He loved going to all sporting events and was a very proud grandpa. His family was his life. He loved them so much. A religious man, Darrell was a member of St. Francis Borgia Church.

An avid sports fan, Darrell loved the Kansas City Chiefs and went to at least one game a year with a group of friends. He could also be found at the ballpark several times a year rooting on the St. Louis Cardinals. Darrell enjoyed the St. Louis Blues and Missouri Tigers as well.

Darrell ran the Pepsi Shoot-Out at TNC Lanes in Washington for 19 years. He enjoyed bowling in all the area tournaments and was very proud to have won seven Shoot-Out tournaments against who he felt were the best of the best bowlers in the area. Darrell was inducted into the Four Rivers Bowling Hall of Fame and qualified for the U.S. Open in Detroit, Mich.

Darrell loved all things outdoors, crappie fishing at the area lakes and deer and turkey hunting at Wolf Creek, a place he considered his heaven on earth. He got so much joy out of seeing his grandchildren hunt and fish. A lover of travel, Darrell visited several countries and at least 40 states traveling with his wife and friends.
